It is the season for the "elect me" commercials on TV and in my mailbox.
I have noticed that most of the ads deviate significantly from the truth.
In fact, many of the ads present untruths and twisted facts. It is scary that there does not have to be truth in advertising when it comes to political commercials. If businesses led with commercials containing so many untruths they would be sued and the commercials removed from the airwaves.
Why are political ads not held to the same standard? I believe that there should be an independent review of the commercials for lies and untruths before they are allowed to be aired.
It is no wonder that we cannot elect truthful leaders; they get elected by lying.
Enjoy the commercials until early-November and play a game. See if you can discern who is telling the truth!
