Thank you for your wise post. If we could only get the people to spend half as much time objectively researching the candidates and issues as they spend watching American Idol, Survivor, or the Super Bowl. Too many people are too lazy to take their voting responsibility seriously. Political ads work for the same reason that celebrity endorsements of consumer items work: people are too lazy to do their own due diligence.

While games may help a party's candidate it does not yield us the best candidate and hence we all suffer
Issue of integrity truthfulness honesty, etc are fair game
Out right lying such as the Harry Reid lie concerning Romney's tax situation should be meant with rebuke and shame. Zero tolerance and acceptance should be made clear from voters.
all of the above if not corrected will bring us down to a 3rd rate country
Thre is plenty of criticism and blame to go around. We need to refocus our effort and energies on picking the best fairly and objectively
