Is Patriotism Effective in Political Advertisements

I think patriotism is very effective in political advertisements. I think people naturally have pride in their country and would be proud of a politician who has that same patriotism. Using myself as an example, I am very patriotic and would vote for a politician who is also patriotic over a politician who isn't. People who are patriotic would be able to relate to their politician who is also patriotic and probably have the feeling that they have the same idea of pride for their country so they will probably have the same views as them. I think patriotism has an even more important affect in political advertisements in today's world. We are active in war in two countries and the credibility and perception of the country have changed dramatically in the recent years. People want to have a politician who has same feeling for the country through the good and the bad. I believe patriotism will always be an effective tactic in political advertisements and more so in today's politics.
