Negative Campaign Ads Work

If there is one Darwinian adaptation that the American people have made to modern times, it is the ability to sift through a wide variety of claims and determine for themselves which are specious and which are accurate.
We realize that the days during which we could trust any one media outlet or candidate to give us the full story are long over — if they ever existed in the first place. We realize that truth is a synthesis of the various claims made by the left and the right, the Democrats and Republicans, and the incumbents and the challengers.
Voters see negative advertising as another form of information. They so distrust politicians that they want to see their opponents tear them down so they can get at the truth.
In fact, voter attitudes toward politicians are akin to their opinions of criminal defendants (they could be forgiven for confusing the two). Just as juries want a prosecutor who tears the defendant apart and punches holes in his alibi, so they want a political candidate to run ads exposing his opponent.

The liberty of millions yet unborn hangs in the balance in this election, and between now and Election Day, someone needs to expose those who control Obama's agenda.

Duh, negative ALWAYS works, that’s why Obama’s people cry and tell us to stop.
Negative campaign ads against liberals = stop telling the truth about us
... As long as they tell the truth, I want to hear them.
I really distrust Dick Morris. Remember, he offered to work pro bono for Raila Odinga. The only reason Morris didn’t do more for Odinga is that he was deported from Kenya.
Bottom line is, people tend to vote for candidates they feel are most like themselves, and negative ads serve to make a candidate look less attractive. In other words, Mac’s ads from here on out should continue to show BHO as untrustworthy, questionable associates, bad judgement, and not ready to lead.
Morris worked for Odinga - so he must know all about Obama’s help.
Working to help Odinga isn’t something I’d want on my resume. Why was he deported?
Ya, you can’t trust Dick Morris. However, he says some incredibly interesting things. I never quite thought of it that way: we distrust politicians, so we allow them to tear each other apart so that we can sift through the pieces and decide just who really belives/does/thinks/whatever what. Fascinating.
President Kibaki gave him the boot because Morris was not in Kenya on a work visa. Even if the work was unpaid, it was illegal according to Kibaki.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO STOP THIS ONCE IT GETS OUT SO PASS IT ON

Obama has a glass jaw. Either we see McCain shatter it before the election or, after January, when Putin does it.
