Tell is which event took a bigger toll on you - Hurricane Sandy or the political campaigns?

 

 

It's been a rough two weeks in much of the Lehigh Valley as Hurricane Sandy knocked out power to thousands and -- when that power came back on -- TV viewers subjected to relentless election hype and negative campaign ads.

We can hardly control mother nature, but with election reform, we could control the amount of money going in to endless babbling BS media ads (by the two major parties). I got tired of it all, months ago. I gave up my land line after the last presidential campaign, so I was thankfully spared from the robo-calls.

I have to say the Political Campaigns.
Listening to the radio for even just traffic statuses was painful with all of the negative ads airing. It got to the point where I turned off Terrestrial Radio. I wonder if the stations know how many do that.
I recorded any shows that I wanted to see on TV so that I could skip the barrage of political BS.
The robo-calls were horrible this election. I am on the Do Not Call lists, but, oh no, that doesn’t apply to the government. I turned off the ringer on the phone and let the answering machine fill up.
Do they believe we are that shallow? Are we that shallow? Does anyone go to the polls and say, “Gee, candidate A called me last night, and then his wife called me, and then his daughter called me. I think I will vote for candidate A.
The signs are nothing but litter. Again, do they believe or are we that shallow?
Well, I saw a sign with candidate B’s name on it last. Guess I’ll vote for candidate B.

Hurricane Sandy was tough to endure, no doubt. I was humbled by the storm.
The Political Campaigns aggravate and disgust me.
