Yes. I think a lot of people use negativity to pick apart others instead of advancing themselves. |

Yes. I don’t believe the messaging is inappropriate, but it lowers my opinion of a candidate when they demean their opponent to get votes. |

 |
Yes. I’m offended by the Romney ad suggesting that people would stay home and collect assistance under Obama. I’m disappointed Obama is rising to the occasion with ads that are beneath him. |
