Sam Graves, a new low!
Submitted by gracie_sykes on October 16, 2008 - 5:34am
During my insomnia kick at about 5:30 A.M i was dreaded to hear another campaign commercial- but just like a car wreck, i couldn't turn away from the t.v. Instead of hearing a politician, an innocent sounding voice from a girl said to be Sam Grave's Daughter comes on. She continues on about how her dad would be the ideal candidate and before you know it she slams Kay Barnes! I was not infuriated at the fact he used his daughter for publicity, but that he used his daughter who cannot even vote, for a one sided comment against an opponent. This is a new low for a campaign commercial and a politician. I did notice it has not played again. I am glad this is my first year to vote because these commercials really show the "lesser of two evils".

Well I don't know how long you have been on the blog, but let me say welcome.
Now, as for the campaign junk I will have to agree that he shouldn't have publicized his own daughter that way and to teach her to downgrade another person is wrong. I saw it last night about 10 or 11 pm and I wanted to contact him and ask him what he was thinking for doing that. MMinnoe and I have been saying for a long time on here that parents don't care anymore of how their children act, the funny thing is when I saw that commercial just proved my point and how the new generation doesn't really have the respect that we were raised with. Parent's sitting back and saying it is okay to treat others like crap is not okay in my book, then they come back and say why are they in jail? Get a clue from the crew you screwed up and now they need to face the music. Unfortunately, this little innocent child got thrown into this and she will hopefully not treat others like this. Smear campaigns just show how immature they really are, welcome to our world of the centuries.
