I don’t know about you, but I am sick and tired of politicians’ negative political advertisements. I just saw more Bev Perdue and Kay Hagan negative ads and really want the politicians to tell us what they stand for and what they will do for the citizens.

Producing and airing a negative ad tells us a great deal about the individual. Is this the role model we want for our children? Is this attitude indicative of the approach (blame others) they will adopt if elected? Politicians should be leaders. Leaders lead, they don’t point fingers and print innuendo.

I come from a political family; my father served as a Democrat in the General Assembly for more than 30 years. I never saw negative advertisements or statements used in a campaign. These ads make me want to rethink being a lifelong Democrat.

So, politicians, have some faith in the public. Don’t tell us why your opponent should not be elected. Tell us what you think about issues, why we should support you, and why you should be entrusted to represent us.
