GOP doesn’t want you to know where political ads come from

Agreed a law saying that candidates have to tell the truth wouldn't be very effective because candidates are very adept at telling partial truths.

My favorite is "so and so voted against pay raises for our troops" or something like that.

Reality that person voted against a bill that gave the troops a penny a month raise but also had like 300 billion dollars for the other party's pet political project.

That is why there should be line item voting in Congress.

That is one way of doing it, the problem is that it becomes easy to vote for bills to spend the money but not the methods to pay for them.

I would argue that bills need to be focused on one topic. Pay raises for the troops shouldn't be treated as a poison pill in your pet political project.
