Slush and Sleaze

Why do so many “good” politicians run crappy ad campaigns?  Because the only way they get precious airtime is if they play by consultant rules, because those consultants have the magic keys to that airtime. And those consultants know one game. 

Consultants who usually favor just one party, btw.

Democratic and Republican candidates and their campaigns write panic-like letters about how they have to have your money or the other side will overwhelm them.  Then they go on to win by a 70+% margin in their gerrymandered districts. 
 

It all comes across as so sleazy, one wonders if they truly stand for anything.

The ocean of money in our political system, and all its many effects before, during, and after a campaign.
