13. Why do they advertise if it does not make a difference?
Why would they spend so much money on their advertising budgets? Why all the television and radio ads for a candidate, if it does not change peoples minds? Why is an hour of television filled with so many breaks from the program for ads, if it does not influence people? To the thinking people, it does not, but to those who have not studied the issues, it does work! And, sad to say, most people have not studied the issues!

But, no matter how many advertisements you do, if the "NEWS" is saying negative things about you.....that counts for more. Most people believe that the media is "fair and balanced" and has to tell the truth.

There are two court cases, one out of NY and one out of Florida which states, that there is no law, rule or regulation which says they have to tell the truth.....they CAN LEGALLY LIE!
