The real shame about money in politics is that Voters listen to political ads.......

The crap that Roberts and Brownback are running are absolutely insane. I really hope they lose. I have already voted as has my family.

It is a shame the average voter believes these ads and are too lazy to do their own research.

Lets face it, the average voter is more worried about American Idol or Walking Dead than researching if political ads are correct.

It is a shame money can sway voters so easily.

Money in politics only works because voters use TV Ads to make voting decisions.

Depressing.

Votes are no longer earned in the United States, they are harvested.

if the Dems had a really positive message responding to the voters' concerns.

It is a shame that they don't, imo.
