The ads are truthful, not negative. I have seen political ads, in Presidential and all other elections, since 1962. The Democrats win the dirty and negative ads contest hands down. I remember voting for the loser, Goldwater in 1964. They had ads showing atomic bombs going off!!! (WWIII) and portraying him as trigger happy! Look who we got, LBJ and Vietnam. In recent years the dirty ads by Dems have gotten worse. We will see who wins the neg ad contest this year. Think about this: What truly major conflict will arise in the future if Obama gets in and he just gives up on every threat that arises.

"The Democrats win the dirty and negative ads contest hands down."
You obviously don't remember what happened to McCain in the South Carolina 2000 primary against Bush.
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opin...
"Anonymous opponents used push polling to suggest that McCain's Bangladeshi born daughter was his own, illegitimate black child. Bob Jones University professor Richard Hand sent an e-mail to 'fellow South Carolinians' stating that McCain had 'chosen to sire children without marriage.'

"Bush Supporters Called McCain 'The Fag Candidate.' In South Carolina, Bush supporters circulated church fliers that labeled McCain 'the fag candidate.'"
"Among the rumors circulated was that McCain was both gay and cheated on his wife, and that his wife Cindy was a drug addict."

"Using the code word "temper," a group of Senate Republicans, and at least some outriders of the George W. Bush campaign, are spreading the word that John McCain is unstable."
"Some of George W. Bush's supporters have questioned Republican presidential candidate John McCain's fitness for the White House, suggesting that his five years as a prisoner of war in North Vietnam drove him insane at the time."
"Bush supporters in South Carolina made race-baiting phone calls saying that McCain had an illegitimate 'black child.' The McCains' daughter, Bridget, was adopted from Mother Teresa's orphanage in Bangladesh."
"Rove spread rumors against McCain, such as 'suggestions that McCain had committed treason while a prisoner of war, and had fathered a child by a black prostitute'"
"Sampleyâ;¦ accused McCain of being a weak-minded coward who had escaped death by collaborating with the enemy."
