2. Why would you think it *ISN'T* okay?

Do "truth in advertising" laws apply to political ads?
I'll bet not!

3. in the last election

we saw nothing but lies in the ads Bush & Co. ran on TV.

if anyone believed anything in the ads Bush ran, they need to have their head checked.

lies in ads = nothing new.

and yes they should be banned from lying on television, there are far too many people who believe everything they see on TV.
