Something has to curb the misleading and outright dishonest words used in ads.

Absent the ability to arrange duels, I’m not seeing much of any way to curb the lies.

Do you have ideas on that front?

Tell the truth and make your case. It isn't like voters don't have access to enough information to make their own judgments.

Our republic has survived a very long time with political candidates being largely shielded from libel and slander laws when discussing other candidates. Why would we want to suck the courts into the middle of our politics?

Talk about your "fundamental transformation".
