Jane Dutton Robb: Stop with the insults, mudslinging and ugly ads

I’m going to sleep. Would someone wake me on Nov. 8th? I’ve got my absentee ballot all filled out. This way I can miss all the political BS on TV. So sick of the gouges and punches on these dirty political ads. Can someone just say why they are running without smacking the other guy in the mouth? Tell us what they’re going to try to improve. In my 60 years of voting, I don’t remember such a dirty political election. Shut up already: “What are you going to do for our country and why are you qualified to do it?” That’s all I want to know, period.

Jane Dutton Robb, Riverbank
