All is fair game for politics

The game of politics is hardly recognized as a fair sport to play; as observers we accept this. But lately it seems as if team red and team blue may be stretching the rules of campaigning a bit more than usual when it comes to fact checking in advertising. It’s strange though—neither opponent minds much of the rule breaking
Although this Democratic ad—cleverly named “Understands” on Youtube—is lacking coverage of timely details, the core of it is true. Bain Capital did sell GST Steel, which as a result laid off more than 700 workers who lost their health insurance, severance and pension benefits.
Despite the media and public’s concern about the truth in politics, both campaigns remain unabashed by their own advertising techniques. Perhaps every politician’s motto is, “An eye-for-an-eye.”
