Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???

I don't care if your Republican, Democrat, Independent, not political what do you think?

Very weary and tired of the Robocalls as well.........

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

Oh yes, there are also the emails...................

What's with the "I'm Joe Blow and I approved this message" crap?

Was it just someone did it, a few years ago, and all the other politicians decided "Hey, that sounds cool. I'll say that too", or was there like an ad saying "George W rapes little girls", and Gore said, "Don't blame me. I didn't approve that ad", so now they all gotta say they approve them?

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I believe back aways someone or some message was out there for a candidate and it was not approved by the candidate and a big deal was made about it.....so all this "offical sounding schtick" started.

And this post was approved by me. :lmao2:

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

A few cycles ago, they passed a law that any ads put out by an actual official campaign had to have a tag line either that said "I approve this message" or else says who put on the ad if not a campaign, so the campaign can claim "Not me!" if it pisses people off.

It's supposed to keep the "cheap shot" and "lying" ads to a minimum but I'm not sure that works.

The other thing is I see you live in a "battleground" state, Ohio...the national parties are spending BIG bucks on ads in your state.

In Indiana we are seeing abolutely NO ads from Omama or Romney so far, which tells me it just might be a Romney lock, about the only ads I am seeing are Mourdock- Donnelly for Senate or Mike Pence/Gregg for Governor.

Actually kind of quiet on the advertising here....

I see more of that Office Max or Staples ad ( I don't even know WHO sponsored THAT ad!;)) about the two politicians abusing each other at the counter, then shaking hands over the "clean" campaign right when they show the "Honk if you had an affair with Taylor" signs and the smarmy smiling guy says "Looks Good!" all the time shaking Taylor's hand....LOL :D:D:D

It's getting old but I STILL chuckle over it....

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I was just going to say that, we're getting BURIED here in NE Ohio with ads for every race there is especially BO/MR.

It's really brutal from 4-7 the dinner, news hours....I'm wearing out my MUTE button!!!

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

How about the off button. Watch a dvd or go for a walk.........

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

yep half way through the first one.
I like to do my own reserch and then decide.
Don't like being told what to belive.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

seems like they both gave up on this part of florida. don't see that many anymore

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

Problem is I want to watch the news or whatever and the same old broken record stuff goes on and on, but I'll bet the networks like the sold out ad time at good rates.

It's like months of Super Bowls on every channel for them :D

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I have been sick of them for the last year and a half. These people are like the stores with christmas stuff. They have been putting out christmas stuff for over a month now.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

Today's Oct. 1, election is Nov. 6, OMG!!! :eek:

Maybe they'll run out of money before then.:rolleyes:

(and my ballot app is on my desk, mailing it in tomorrow, geezzzz)

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I'm still waiting for one of the bozo's to tell me what they are going to do FOR me, and not what their opponent is going to do TO me.:bleh:

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I know but the Grinch costumes are fun to wear in the stores :D

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

Not to many ads in Cali either. This state is a lock for Odumbass. I've seen a few but not enough to get sick over yet. Well let me rephrase. Their hasn't been enough Romney ads to get sick over. Any ad or anything else that shows Odumbass's face makes me sick

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I have yet to see one. Thats because I refuse to watch them. I refuse to allow obozos face or voice in my house so I mute the TV or change the channel and I mute the TV for ANY political ads, period. I already know what my duty is as an american citizen and I will make sure I go do it on election day.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

Yip, Double D, we gave up broadcast TV 3 years ago and do not miss it a bit. We watch DVD's of approved material for the children. I had become numb to the downgraded filth spewed from the big 4. I am amazed what people will watch when we visit those with broadcasted programs. A society ''is'' what it deems as entertainment.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I dont have time or the inclination to watch TV. My wife constantly keeps netflix of dvds in, so unless I flip to the weather channel, I dont see mainstream tv. Wish I didnt see most of what my wife puts on, but I married her so there's no going back........ If I broke the TV we would go broke when she replaced them while I was at work.

I live in Nevada & was getting about 20 robo calls per day, hooked my old fax up to the phone to answer in 1 ring.....anybody I want to talk to has my cell number.

I have a DVR, and only watch what I record.....fast forward all commercials.
I agree, most of broadcast TV is garbage.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

And then there's Honey Boo Boo! Proof if any is needed that the world is about to go down the crapper

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

OMG yes i am. I swear to god if i hear that one that starts out "Gotta get up" one more fing time I'm going to scream. I have heard it no less them 5 times today.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

Yep.. all bull crap taken out of context. A Dem Congress run against a Rep- Archer has an ad hope the Rep worked at a business that sent work out of the country....LOL
He worked for JoHN Deere MFG as a lawyer and the Dems demonize him as in an un-american business. Stupid.
The Democrat Loebsack is a former liberal college professor / profesional politition.

Re: Anyone getting sick of ALL these political TV ads yet???
 

I also don't really have cable anymore. I watch all my shows from the internet where someone has captured the show stripped all the ads out and then I download it. So I don't care anymore really.


NO I am not putting on a grinch costume.
