Comments about ‘Letter: Local negative ads leave lasting scars on community’

Well said. I am not a constituent of Moss but had to wonder while listening to "said commercial" if Moss' opponent does not understand that our state representatives did not have a vote in Obamacare. I, also, wonder if her opponent is unaware of the fact that "we, the people of Utah" voted down vouchers and merit pay because "as a people" we support public education. The spin words her opponent is using in "said commercial" only prove her lack of understanding of the public school referendum. As for the $65,000 housing reimbursement given to ALL legislators and not just Moss - maybe this is a matter for the people to look into - but to single out just one candidate (amongst them all) and then buy air time to blast the fact seems harsh and unfair. I agree. Enough of the negative campaigning. Your money could be better spent.

Great letter. These are people we see in the grocery store and at the park with their children. These are our neighbors.

This stands true on a national level as well. If we stick to facts and solutions we would be informed instead of being inflamed.

Unfortunately, we let negative campaign ads work! If they didn't work so well no one would be doin them.

Just look at how well Mia Love is doing. Yet, she hasn't explained to us anything! Visit her website and you'll see. She doesn't need to provide us with any of her plans or ideas because the negative campaigning and smearing of Matheson is working so well.

Amen, Brother. Amen.

But as long as big MONEY is at stake, there's little chance of it.

It isn't money they are fighting over. It is POWER. Who has it and who wants it.

I have to agree with the Rifle -- to a degree.

What's the old saying, "He who has the money has the power." Perhaps the two go hand in hand.

I guess plain ol' humility is obsolete.
