Actually we can help stop the negative ads..a few years ago Colorado had a Senator Ben Nighthorse Campbell who ran and was elected as a Democrat. After about a year he changed parties... While running for re-election he ran an ad pointing out his opponent was a flip-flopper. This ad really made me mad, it insulted my intelligence, so I called his headquarters....I started out commenting that I had seen this ad and he responded how true that was about the opponent. After he finished I told him I had just one question.....
Didn't Ben Nighthorse Campbell do the biggest flip-flop of all 4 years ago?
There was silence at the other end of the phone...he couldn't say a thing. I said I take that as a yes. And laughed.
I never saw that ad again....We are responsible for allowing this type of ad to work. If we disgree with an ad...call them tell'em what you think.
