There needs to be a rating system prior to election ad's warning viewers of the level of voilence and backbiting, so parents can cover the ears of future voters. When I was younger and more nieve, I voted for a candidate with the least stabbing ads, assuming his agressor was a bad person for saying all those slanderous and terrible things. I did not want a bad person to win, so I voted the underdog. Big Mistake! He is currently incarcerated. Reguardless, these ad's have no basis in reality and serve two purposes, first to supercharge name recognition then lambaste the opponent with accusatory disgrace. Underhanded...yet effective, pretty foxy tactic.

Speaking of decitful underhandedness, the false and misleading data these ad's spew is staggering, yet simply refutable by taking a short trip online. It is truly disheartening that a senate candidate will lie (no I'm not an idiot) in an ad campaign that is aimed at poorly informed voters with only one source of media the television, who believe all they hear from a 20 second blip, as gosphel. How does one combat that?

Does anyone reading this have $6.25 million in pocket money to spend on a Senate seat that potentially will pay $165,000/year? If Ned Lamont is looking to recoup his personal expenditures on this campaign, he will have to be a senator for 40 years, I would imagine he plans on using his position to put more money back in his pocket than just his senate salary.

Ned Lamont has not released his financial records, however, the Federal Elections Comision has estimated his personal wealth between 30 and 900 million. Let's look at that in zero's ($30,000,000.00 to $900,000,000.00) vs. Joe Lieberman's personal wealth of $320,000, which is not shabby by any means, but what does this mean to the voters? It means Joe Liberman has spent twenty years fighting for CT and only managed to scrape a couple hundred thousand bucks together for retirement, while married to a working wife and raising four kids. Joe needs this job, have you seen the property taxes on a three bedroom house in New Haven lately? While Ned Lamont was born into an affluent and political family. The Journal News (Hudson River Valley, NY) ran article on the Lamont families history and ended by stating; "It may be too soon to tell if the family name (Lamont) becomes recognized as a dynasty in finance, mass media or politics, but if it does, it will join many other political families that have enmeshed themselves in the nation's governing class in recent years."

Wow, let's vote for a silver spoon-sixth generation millionaire, Greenwich living, back stabbing man with a family legacy of using political positions to refuel the old family till. Sorry for that Ned, my Mom told me if you can't say anything nice... Just stick to the facts.
