Anyone else fed up with political ads yet?

Seems like the ads for this year's midterm elections have been going on forever. I'm ready for them to end, but then guess we'll just get double the Medicare Supplement ads.

Lt Col John (Jack) Christensen - I've been fed up with them for years. Every year the mud slinging gets worse and the lies get more obvious. Doesn't matter if they have a "R", a "D", or a "I" behind their name. They are ALL politicians and will say and/or do anything they think is necessary to get elected and stay in office.

I have so many in my inbox as well as on TV. I don't ever remember signing up for any of these mailing lists but that doesn't stop Devin Nunes, Newt Gingrich, Ron DeSantis, and others telling me to vote for people in states and districts I don't live in.

Good Lord yes, I live close to the Indiana border and unfortunately they have a senate race, and we get flooded with political ads every commercial break. Lies, half truths and just plain stupid ads, sometimes 3 or 4 for the same guy in a row. TV stations must be making a killing. I just flip to another station until I think they are back to the program.

I sure am, especially those that mislead, quote out of context and outright lies. Too bad the media doesn’t rebut these. Here is a good article I found.
