woes. You picked them. Same with husbands/wives who emote about their spouses. You picked them, and these days, after dating and shacking up with them for at least a couple years. You knew everything beforehand. Any sensible American also begins with the assumption that their state or national politician is a scoundrel. Don't come crying to the rest of us when they make their duplicity obvious after the election. If you're that thick, you really shouldn't be voting, and I mean that you should make that executive decision yourself: I'm really a gullible, ill-informed sap, and therefore I should respect everyone else enough to sit out this ritual.
