Monahan asks the $64K question

Blogger Monahan asked the $64K Question, wikilink, this morning.

He was writing about, "... a ceaseless stream of political ads that are simply false."

Many of the heavy hitters in the blogosphere have pointed to dishonest and misleading campaign ads. None (I will bow to controverting fact) save me has asked; what can we, the people, do to stop them?

Monahan writes;

"... the ads will stay up and continue to mislead voters. They (Heinrich and Barela) won't even revise them. Ultimately, it is the candidates who must be held responsible for the bad ads.

Exactly! the candidates must be held responsible for their efforts to manipulate an election by deliberately misleading and deceiving voters.

But how? That's the question.

Monahan points to the "impunity of the political class" and how it is "igniting voter anger and cynicism."

Monahan concludes; "There must be a better way to run a railroad."

There must be; but what is it?

How do you vote against candidates who will deliberately
deceive you, if they all do?
