I hope when politicians die they have to watch all the negative ads about them over and over again...

You can't require them to be factually accurate, because then the right wing will complain because they can't express their opinions.

They already have to be. Otherwise the people who made the commercial can be sued for Slander. Today, the ad makers just know how to get around it...but I still understand what you mean

They should. In the House race for the lone seat of South Dakota, Republican candidate Kristi Noem accused the incumbent Democrat Stephanie Herseth-Sandlin of not supporting gun rights, when in reality, Herseth-Sandlin voted for gun rights and is even endorsed by the NRA. Noem went on to say how she was endorsed by the NRA and they gave Herseth-Sandlin an 'F' rating, when Noem isn't endorsed by the NRA and Herseth-Sandlin has an 'A' rating from the NRA. It was ridiculous.

"My opponent is an evil man. You can tell by the way he denied his kid a pet dog that he probably drowns puppies out by the river. Do we really want a puppy killer in public office?"

"Not only that, but he takes candy from babies and then uses donation money to buy lube and have sex with goats. Do we really want a goat fucker in office?"
