2. We need to quit electing our public officials like we buy soap.

So many American's can be easily swayed by ads that are completely untrue but if they run them enough they believe them. The voting population by and large are not bright enough to realize that most ads have some untruth in them. They need to read, and comprehend policy issues and positions of the various candidates and make an intelligent decision.

The majority of Americans do not have the ability to read and comprehend material. They need it in short sound bites with pictures.

Of course getting rid of all the money, dark and otherwise that fund these ads would help.
