Pointing fingers isn't the answer

Negative Political Ads: Who should be damaged by them?

When you point the finger at someone else, three fingers are pointing back at you. When you sling mud at your opponent, you’re left with mud all over your own hands.

Rather than telling lies, half-truths, and innuendoes about your opponent, get votes by telling the truth about your qualifications for the job.

“All politicians lie” is the response I get when I object to the lies told by Trump and others whose campaigns are full of negatives about their opponents. When the voter takes the time to check the facts, it’s apparent that “all politicians don’t lie,” only those who fear defeat.

Vote for politicians who tell the truth, rather than those who must lie about their opponent to get your vote.

Sincerely,

Martha D. Humphreys,

Noxon
