Smear

I can't WAIT for election day to be over so we can be done with all these annoying campaign ads for the year. They're annoying in general, but what I find particularly irksome is the large quantity of them that are simply there to tear apart the candidate's opponent.

Announcement to candidates: I don't want to vote for you because you are just the lesser of two evils. Your opponent has done something wrong, therefore I should vote for you? No, I want to vote for you because you'll do a good job. So please, convince me of that and I'll forget about your opponent.

It really gets to me that every election seems to come down to who is less terrible, rather than who is most qualified.
