At least we have less than a week to see the poli commercials! It was still a pretty well-made commercial I’ll have to admit. Made me sad.

I'm so sick of political ads. I knew how I would be voting months ago, not based on ads but on research. Still researching all the propositions that will be up for vote. Yes, I actually read voter booklets and articles and editorials. Yeah, hated the ending. I'm so sick of political ads. I knew how I would be voting months ago, not based on ads but on research.

Nice of you to paint everybody with the same brush, though, as "blindly hating everything about Obama". I would have found an ad for McCain equally disappointing - Oh, but those don't get posted here. This ad was like one of those "you've won a free vacation", and you end up listening to people selling time-shares. Buzzkill.

Soldiers..McCain is against expanding the benefits of their outdated GI Bill. He loves deregulation and trusting the market to the CEOs. Keating. His proposed health plan won't help the majority of those that need it. Those proposed corporation tax cuts aren't designed to create more jobs. The two-party system doesn't work but it's what we have for now before a major radical movement. So to those complaining about how disappointed they were in the ending..do something or you know, stay excited about a McCain or Palin presidency and blindly hate everything about Obama. Also, Neatorama...politics <i>has</i> been neat here so far. Yeah because for the majority of America, John McCain means their lives will be better.

You could tell where it was going with the politics, but at the end, it was so blatant, it was really disappointing. Do people really think electing Obama is going to solve the problems of these guys? I hope they're not too disillusioned when the promised "change" doesn't come. It would be interesting to see him get elected, just to see if he keeps his vague promises. What he said.
