About Attack Ads

Even in the midst of all of yesterday's chaos, the POTUS race and various campaigns march relentlessly forward. However, there is one part of campaigning that should be stopped, or, to be frank, should have never started in the first place.
There have been some attack ads showing up recently. The person running them is slandering AidenAstrup, saying things like “AidenAstrup does not have the experience to be President”, and directing the people viewing it to vote for, in this case, the BradleyReala campaign (there was one up a few days ago directing voters to the GF (Never Forget, 6-30-10) campaign).
The Bradley Reala campaign is not running these ads, just as the GF campaign was not running the ads a couple days ago. We have suspicions about who is, but would not like to name them at this time.
What we would like to say is that we do not support this type of campaigning. From the beginning of this campaign season, we have been focused on keeping the campaign clean. We do not support mudslinging, we do not support attacks on the other candidates, and we strongly condemn these ads, which go beyond mudslinging because of the way they harm both Aiden's campaign and whichever campaign is endorsed in the ad.
In my own opinion, I would like to say that whoever is running these ads is a coward and a power-hungry ***tard, someone who clearly has strong opinions about Aiden, but is too scared to express them honestly and would rather bring a clean campaign down with them.
I wish I didn't have to write this article today. But that train of thought will have to wait. Stay tuned.

Voted so so hard.
Good article
Agreed. Campaigns should be clean and fun. Voted.
voted harder
100% Agreed.
BRADONIA FTW
Sorry for misunderstanding, <3
It's easy to manipulate people in this game... I figured that ad was out of character, but for those who don't know you... it's damaging to the campaign. Voted (as always).
>The Bradley Reala campaign is not running these ads
That's what I would say if I were running them. Also Reala is incompetent, I don't know how you could support him.
Voted. I absolutly agree.
The plot thickens!
I agree. Really though, that is a pretty nice technique of mudslinging. If you write an article directly after the damage to your opponent is done saying that you don't agree with it, thus buying you more votes after you hurt the other candidate's chances.
Disgusting.
Gagah> Reala is incompetent.
Yeah, because former a Secretaries of State that helped secure Karnataka is an inept idiot, among other things.
I am glad to see this article Fionia, but it still doesn't change my vote (Drago, July '10!)
What America needs is a pledge from our top parties that they will NOT run mudslinging campaigns. Period. Violation by one could be condemned by the other four. (This only applies to POTUS campaigns, due to difficulty of enforcement.)
Perhaps one day we'll have evolved as a citizenry to where such a plan could be extended to congressional fortress states...eventually...the WORLD!!!(except for those belonging to whatever Phoenix is calling itself by then. lol)
Well, Claire, there was no need to write this article *before* the ads appeared, was there?
Eh? I was agreeing with you Fionia. I was just saying that mudslinging is stupid. Been there done it, no one wins.
My mistake.
vote, glad to have that cleared up a bit, was wondering.
>Yeah, because former a Secretaries of State that helped secure Karnataka is an inept idiot, among other things.
Reala had nothing to do with that, and we all know it. Way to stretch the truth. Next you'll be claiming that you conquered the UK.
interesting to see that particular technique used... personally I'd rather see the person doing the ad's admit it, but it is a brilliant (not that original mind you) game play move. We'll see in the end if it works.
Emerick, I thought you got banned again? If not, change the avatar will ya.. miss seeing the old one around.

Re-subbed 🙂
Oh yeah, I re-subbed too, I didn't realize I was unsubbed in the e9/11 attacks.
Keep it clean!
Wtf are you talking about xD I know for a fact that GF wrote his mud add because in the comments he explained how he had written before breakfast luls...
Obmar, we're talking about ads, not articles. The mudslinging ads that you see in the right hand side of your screen are not being put up by the candidates that they link to. They're being put up by a third party that is hurting politics in general by such a low, underhanded move.
> Reala had nothing to do with that, and we all know it. Way to stretch the truth.
Excuse me? How would you know about that? As I recall, the negotiating was being done by Josh Frost, Devoid, Harrison Richardson, and myself, among others. In fact, that was done during a period that you were relatively inactive if I recall, so I don't know what makes you qualified to comment on that.
@Fionia
voted & subbed 🙂
vote/sub
Why does anybody like Emerick?
@ Devoi😛 because they're mindless cultists?
gee... anyone hazard a guess as to what group has been doing really screwed up stuff and playing it off like it's all in fun..?
