Yup. It's a movie that gets played here several times a year, and the ending's always the same. Buyer's remorse and severe disappointment.
It's why public records matter, and campaign blather is just that - blather. If they've got a public service record, then dammit, vet it. If it's their first attempt at being elected, then look for any sort of record we can find to establish their real credentials.
This stuff shouldn't be rocket science, but I'll be damned if some Freepers don't fall for a RINO with a couple of decent campaign speeches every time.
It's embarrassing.
