Being from the UK I have learnt a lot about the US political process that I did not know about previously - the fact that candidates have been buying advertising on tv and the internet etc. is completely alien to me.

I am very uncomfortable with advertisements that have a political or religious basis - using ppc is even more uncomfortable for some reason.

I would not have expected to see these type of ads before so it is an eye-opener that you would get politically charged ads through adsense - that surely needs an opt-out.
