<p>On my drive to work this morning, I was confronted with all of the <a title="Jeopardy Themed Negative Ad against Hutchison" href="http://trailblazersblog.dallasnews.com/RP-11-19-09_November%20Radio_No%20Slate.mp3" target="_blank">terrible things</a>Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison has done in Washington. Was it investigative reporting? No, an ad by the campaign to re-elect our current Texas governor Rick Perry.</p>
<p>On a station that promotes such positivity in all aspects of the way it conducts business, does it have a policy about negative political ads? Does the parent company <a href="http://www.salem.cc/index.aspx" target="_blank">Salem Communications</a>? Wouldn&#8217;t the world be a better place if media outlets could refuse such ads and force the politicians to promote their own positive agendas instead of just focusing on the negative aspects of their rivals. Is this censorship or a higher calling?</p>
<p>Gov Perry and Sen. Hutichison&#8230;Please focus on what YOU can do for Texas as you have in <a title="Rick Perry's &quot;Texas Values&quot; Ad" href="http://www.rickperry.org/blog/texans-rick-perry-debut-new-radio-ad-%E2%80%93-%E2%80%9Ctexas-values%E2%80%9D" target="_blank">other positive ads</a>!</p>
