Not just disqualified, but under certain circumstances, there should be a penalty involved. Seems like it's okay to say just about whatever you want about these props and other politicians and there's nothing anyone can do about it. Well - I guess you could sue for slander or libel against another person, but a prop. can't sue people it's opponents for lying about it.

The lies can be very outlandish with just an inkling of truth or perceived truth and that's all that matters.

You can't trust any of the ads - and very few people are going to really do the research to find out the truth. And even then, how many people that read the entire prop's literature, actually grasp what it really means.

And one wonders why politics are all effed up and we have budget problems.
