McCain was a troll too. The whole damn 2008 election was one long, painful, troll thread. And McCain finally got zotted on Tuesday.
Why wouldn't voters have picked the politician they felt was most honest in his stated positions?
Professional politicians lie all the time, it is an integral part of their “profession”.

As we are already doomed to repeat history, the only solice I can take, is that perhaps the people who just recently became involved with politics, will stay involved, and soon come to understand that voting for “our elected leaders” requires a great deal of thought, as the consequences are much more pervasive than “voting” for the next American Idol.
