With less than a month to go before the Elections, Watching TV has become something only a MASOCHIST can enjoy. On many shows ALL of the Commercial Breaks are Political Ads. As I have feared would happen, since the number of Ads showen during a show have increased over the last few years, so have the number of Political Ads. Some of them are over two minutes long! THIS IS DISGUSTING! With all the Problems we are having in this Country right now Candidates are spending BILLIONS of OUR DOLLARS to SLANDER each other in an attempt to get people to vote for them. I decided I had enough. I have DISCONNECTED my Antenna from my TV. The only thing my Set has attached to it is my VCR/DVD Player. For the next four weeks if I am watching anything on TV it will be from my Library of DVDs and VHS Tapes. Yes, on Election Day I will vote for the Candidates of my Choice. I am just not going to Watch this Garbage they are putting out.

Re: How can you stand watching this?!
Pretty much the only thing I don't use the DVR to watch is baseball, so it's not a big deal.
