I AM YELLING AT MY TV MORE AND MORE...




Recently I have caught myself yelling, no swearing at the TV and the people in all those political commercials…I don’t think it has ever been this bad or maybe it is just me getting less tolerant in my old age; the robo-calls I will leave for another time.

The political ads insult everyone’s intelligence but obviously not everyone’s intelligence because there is proof that attack ads work…so there must be people that get their “facts” only from political ads on TV…

They are so supremely misleading if not totally false and use the “basest” of tricks to get you to believe they are telling you the truth like using local politician, people in uniform and teachers; people that do not lie?

The opposing ads are trying to point out the blatant lies but I think people will believe what they want to believe no matter what the truth may be.

Proposal 2 union ads are pretty bad, telling you the proposal is about collective bargaining that somehow affects our security and well being when in fact it only gets union workers higher wages and more benefits THAT WE HAVE TO PAY!

They don’t tell you how they plan on changing our constitution to make unions and their workers untouchable by us the voters or the legislature we elect to control excessive union demands.

How about that old lady in Proposal 4 saying that her care is dependent on the passage of this proposal when in fact it’s a unions grab at getting money from home healthcare workers who do not want a union, they don’t need a union, they only make $8 / hour and need every penny out of that wage.

The union says they will do a background check on home healthcare workers which will protect the elderly they serve and for that they want life time dues?  Medicaid already has a plan in place; there is no need for the union…its all about the union and how much money they can make off this proposal.

And what about ole’ Matty Moroun and the bridge proposal… He has a teacher in an ad saying she has not met a kid that needs a new bridge…excuse me but what the fuck does education have to do  with a new bridge?

In fact, the hundreds of jobs that would be created building a new bridge would bring in much needed tax money that would help the state fund better education.

I hope to God that people actually buy a newspaper and read the “facts” about each proposal and NOT listen to those lying ads.

YES on Proposal ONE (1) and NO on the rest………………………..
