I am so tired of this election. I am so tired of lies coming from Mitt Romney. I am so tired of the hateful rhetoric from the Republicans, and some of the Democrats, too. Can"t we all act like grown-ups and 1) tell the truth, and 2) avoid the "gotcha" mentality, and 3) be polite and follow the rules. These are lessons that we supposedly learned in kindergarten.
I live in Virginia where almost all the TV ads are political. Sometimes they show the same one two or three times in succession without a break. And our senatorial race is very contentious also so we have those ads, too. Kaine, a reasonable very middle-of-the road Democrat vs Allen, a bigot and blow-hard of the first order. Both were former governor's of the Commonwealth of Virginia. The seat they are seeking is currently held by Jim Webb, a Democrat, who narrowly defeated Allen, the then incumbent, in 2006. So for Allen this is really a grudge match and his thugishness shows. He also has the smugface of Romney. The two of them just have a face I want to slap.
I have been reduced to watching only shows available through Netfix, Hulu, and on-demand in order to avoid the political ads.

You aren't alone in feeling this way.
Always, always have to remind myself that Virginia is a southern place, very much so. Adjacency to D.C. seems irrelevant. Realize my view is narrow due toum only connecting with its most northern parts.
