We should just pass laws that during an election, if a candidate blatently lies in an add - he is charged with a felony and sent to a Federal prison.

If we truly want to restore this country.. all levels of this country have to start being held accountable, right down to each and every citizen. Easier said than done, but we have to start moving in that direction.

I don't think you understand. What I'm saying is, all of the political ads that are particularly extreme or use particularly shaky "facts" are not put out by either campaign. And if you're suggesting that there will be a shot in hell of nonelected officials serving even community services if the criminals on Wall Street avoided prison... I'll have to completely disagree. And even if they do, I highly doubt that will deter anybody. After all, what's a week or two of community service if you potentially sway a few thousand people with lies and distortions? And if you start enacting real tough penalties like jail time, that's a terrible precedent of punishment for lying in public and a very slippery slope. Not to mention the kind of craziness that would happen during campaigns every time anybody said anything remotely close to disputable with special interest groups going crazy trying to get prosecutors to arrest candidates and their supporters for anything from slightly outdated statistics (that are still dated and sourced) to outright lies.

I don't know about you, but I don't want that kind of circus and precedent.

Or in Wisconsin, the race between say Thompson and Baldwin?

Or Duffy and Krietlow?

I have been flooded with them... and that end tag line of endorsement is present in most.

Sure, for example, the NRA's ad's are out there.. but the majority of the ads I have been subjected to have been endorsed by the candidate themselves.

And I am sick of it.. that is an understatement endorsed by me.

Campaign's rely on Public Opinion and Relations.. forcing them to face the shame of being forced into community service or worse.. damn skippy it will send ripples through the campaigns. And the voting public.

Sure, we now will spend tons on legal costs to punish, but they spent in excess of 10 billion in campaigns.. funnel some of the flow to the legal costs.

We are a resourceful nation.. we should be able to find a more effective way of electing officials. What we have, it isn't working, my opinion.

Either that, or we start to wage a more physical campaign on DC and elsewhere. Probably the only way we fix this nation, but why not exhaust all avenues prior to bloodshed and destruction.

If everyone has a gun to their head during the campaign, like I said before both sides will be going wild trying to get everything from exaggerations, out of date statistics, to straight up lies prosecuted. The "Gotcha" mentality's completely scarred the last few elections, this will just make the issue many magnitudes worse. Plus the whole slippery slope thing I mentioned earlier.

dfosterf (27-Mar) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (27-Mar) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
