elections coming down to just 30 second commercials ?

I'm in Ohio and all I've seen the last week or so is non stop R-money lying ads. It doesn't matter if there is any truth in the ads, but how effective can they be. Asswipe did this constantly in the primaries by outspending his opponents 6-7 to 1 whenever he was behind and he usually made up the defecit shortly. He's doing the same thing here now.
Why can't we put ads up that really stretch the truth as long as the result kills him in the polls. I'll start off with one.
Have a veterinarian discuss how serious it is to strap any animal to the roof of a car at freeway speeds. It scares the animals to death hinders their breathing and animals have died from people doing this to them. It's clearly a case of animal abuse and should be punishable by law. Would you vote for a man who's strapped his own dog to the roof of his car not for a 15 minute ride, but a 1200 mile trip across the country, causing the dog to become violently sick.
This may not be the best example, I'm just throwing it out there as a start.
