hello pot.

I've always hated political ads. I hate the nastiness, the mudslinging, and the fact that they almost speak down to our intelligence. There are some ads right now thought that really bug me. I'll start first by saying that I don't like Chris Gregoire for multiple reasons, but her team must really think we are stupid. Currently there are three ads about how Dino Rossi is against stem cell research and would allow pharmacists to deny emergency contraception. The tag line is something to the effect of who is he to push his personal beliefs on the rest of us. Um, sorry but, isn't that what politics is all about? Making laws and policies based on personal beliefs? Don't ALL politicians do that? Don't we choose to vote for the candidate that hold beliefs most similar to our own? This doesn't just apply to stem cell research or emergency contraception, it applies to everything. Taxes, health care, welfare, education, guns, environment, oil and drilling, immigration, death penalty, war, the list could go on and on....... How is it any different if Gregoire imposes her personal beliefs on us than if Rossi does it? You are looking mighty black today kettle...........
