I am so not political. Yes, I am a republican and I did vote tonight after school. I just will be so thankful that soon the commercials will switch from candidate-bashing to once again talking about erectile dysfunction. I guess both types of commercials are equally annoying to me, since the political ones are primarily fiction and the latter doesn't apply, thankfully.

Just once I'd like to see an ad bashing this thing called MS. I would volunteer to write the script. "Claims were made for lower fatigue in time, possible remission, and my body, not the budget, to be balanced. These claims have yet proven to be untrue." Then I would say, "I am Shelly Bradford, and I approve this message because as a person living with MS, I am smart enough not to believe every commercial I hear, but I am also willing most days to get up and face a new day regardless of it's challenges, and I hope that one day there will be a cure for Multiple Sclerosis, and it will be long before the federal budget gets balanced, but I'm not making any promises."

Okay, that would probably never make it to air time, but if we are going to bash something and seek to destroy it, why not let it be an ugly disease like this one? I mean, it makes no sense to pay a gazillion dollars for a 30 second commercial that is supposed to make your opponent look bad. Maybe these politicians could fork over some of that dough for MS or cancer research, or world hunger....I'm Shelly Bradford and I approve this message.
