As I drew to the conclusion of Al Gore’s latest book, The Assault of Reason, one of the area that seemed to dominate political campaigning in this country was the 30-second television spot. Gore says that senators and representatives, spend more time drumming up money for buying television time then they do debating the issues at hand.

After finishing Gore’s chapter relating to this and similar issues, I had to pause and think about how to kill off the annoying political TV advert.

To ban them entirely would be an infringement on one’s first amendment right to free speech, which is something I deeply believe in regardless of the message at hand.

While its too late to come up with a solution, I have found some particularly egregious political advertisements that will make the viewer at first laugh because of their ridiculousness and then cry as these ads were being developed in lieu of actual, political discourse. Enjoy!
