I find it discouraging and confusing that Sen. Harry Reid, who is vying for a fifth term, considers it appropriate that the way to get elected is by disparaging and belittling a lesser-known candidate.
After 23-plus years in the Senate, he should get elected easily on the basis of his achievements. Why is it that after what he has done for the state and the country, he is having such a difficult time being elected?
Instead of negative ads it would befit him to reflect on his long-term accomplishments and on his future plans that benefit not only the state but the country.
My request regarding the negative ads is not directed toward just Reid but also other candidates. Enough of the negatives — the American people are much smarter than you think and can easily sift through the obfuscating messages directed toward them.
Tell us what you are going to do and how you are going to do it.
