Perhaps the only legal way to reform all those negative political ad
campaigns is to make them all responsible under the Truth in Advertising
laws.Think about it for a moment, are not the ads trying to sell either a
candidate or an ideology ?So why are they excluded for the Truth in
Advertising laws ?What is truly bizarre about all this is the fact that
both the Republican Party and the Democratic Party are in total agreement
about being excluded from the Truth in Advertising laws. Who says that
bipartisan agreement is not possible ?Also why do those political ads
excluded both the candidates party affiliation or if it is an anti
candidate ad,
do they not say which political party is responsible for it ?

No candidate should ever be allowed to spend more on advertising than the
position pays.
