The What if.... Campaign
Opinion
By Mark T , guest writing for Croglog
email us mychiller@inbox.com
The Political Season , has it's conventions and the debates are about to start we've had this long period of candidates attacking and promising. We suffer under the political ads that torture on TV, Radio and internet. We make the joke that politicians lie , and that they probably do.
What if a politician ran a campaign differently ? How ? You may be asking. Many campaigns are built on promises , " When ( Very confident) I am elected president i will ....(insert something here)". 3 things usually happen if that person wins , a. they work on the promise, b, they forget about it c, they try it and it fails. Most of the time B happens the most. Let's say I would do it more like this "When you elect me your President I will work hard on trying to get ... (insert something here) , it may not happen but there's nothing wrong with trying." It's the truth that sometimes a promise by a president can fall short, yet still showing positivity for something that may not happen.
Campaigns get dirty . We are used to these attack ads on TV where the deep voice says for example " This Candidate caused the great tuna disaster when they were governor of tuna ( this is just an example people) would you vote for this person because he caused thousands of people to be injured by defective cans?" Attacking the other candidate is what always happens , dig up their past try to relate it to the future. " This Governor caused his state to have a deficit think what he will do to the country" That kind of thing , trying to make you think "Hey, if he can't run a state how can he run a country?" Most cases attacks are the candidate wanting you to like them more than the other person. What they are really saying is " I told my dear mother when I was 8 , I want to be president of the United States. I should be the President" That would probably be the honest thing to say. Attacking the other candidate is really like other adverting. " Joe's Fords has more Fords at better prices than Jim's Fords". They both are selling Fords but Joe's wants you to come to them and makes Jim's not look that good. Human Emotion is what you play with. What if , campaign has not figured out away to get rid of attacks , many candidates have tried to play the positive person , but at many a time they have to go negative. But a nice way to be negative : "I might like the other candidate they seem very nice , but if they were president they might cause (insert something bad here) ." See an honest opinion but still kind of negative.
Endorse me ,would you? Let's say there was a candidate let's him Ed , he's running for President , and for now he's going through a primary in his party, then there's a former president (ooh lucky) , named John (they don't have last names) he is well loved by his party and voters in that party. That's great! So maybe Ed thinks that if he got John's endorsement it would help in his party. It's like a famous person endorsing a credit card ( since when to famous people use credit cards?). The company thinks "Hey, we got this big celebrity endorsing our product will have millions getting our high interest card." Many times this works on some people. (Think Oprah endorsed stuff) So let's say Ed and John have a slight difference in a political issue such as, Ed thinks that yellow lights on traffic lights should be done away with , just read and green (Merry Christmas) , John thinks that yellow should stay. Although this difference ( that would be a great hot-button issue) could affect John giving Ed a much needed endorsement they find a common agreement : They both want traffic lights. Unlike the other candidate in the party running against John who thinks traffic lights need to go. ( Maybe he had to many tickets?) In my what if campaign there's not much I would change on that.
