Packed with examples of superficial or sleazy campaigning presents a disturbing picture of the dismal state of U.S. presidential campaigns, and how to change them. All that television news about electoral contests is becoming increasingly ad-like. Conversely, candidates are learning to act, speak and think in TV's terms, proffering visual, telegraphic sound bites and tailoring their speeches, interviews and press conferences toward getting ad-like coverage. [ Sounds like Hillary madeover ]
Obama was a master and I'm wondering if Trump isn't also?
Cruz has done a good job too! If your going to 'get' in the news do something to (stand out).
1 example of dirty politics:
Throughout the generations, whenever there has been an election, there has been some form of dirty politics used to sway the voters mind.
There are all forms and uses of dirty politics. It can be as simple as a candidate lying about his or her qualifications or taking information that is the truth and distorting it so that the information is completely changed from its original meaning. ( One of Trumps main 'grips'.
:: an example of that ::
In this new age of social media dirty politics has reached new heights of deception and nastiness.
A major example of this is the Democratic Party of Georgia running an ad, state wide, implying that if you don’t vote for the state’s Democratic nominees that the sad events of Ferguson, Missouri will happen in Georgia.
The Democratic Party is running this offensive ad to encourage black voters of the state to come out and vote for democratic candidates. ( An Obama tactic )
This hateful ad does not reflect the true character of Georgians, both black and white, and is being run only to insight the few black voters who may not have the _common sense_ to know that this type of ad only promotes fear mongering and distrust. ( Again, Obama tactics )
I believe the Democratic party of Georgia has misjudged the character and pride of the black voters of the state in their despicable ploy to generate more votes from the majority African American community will fail.
If you really want to know the true characters of the candidates for state or national public office do some homework of your own. Look up their biographies, talk to people who really know them and/or go to a political rally and meet the candidates yourself. ( GOOGLE is a great source )
I urge you to not accept what is presented to you in television ads that are currently being run with blind acceptance and especially to be careful of ads that are being released now before the Nov. 4, 2016 election.
There is no question that we need good leadership for our communities, our state, and the nation. Don’t fall for the political rhetoric that is being presented by both parties right now, use your own judgment to guide how you vote on Nov. 4.
Your vote can, and will, make a difference.
