The effect of political humor on US elections

Political humor can have a great impact on the U.S. elections.The reason is these politicians are so full of themselves sometimes they actually slip up and say what they mean.The media is ruthless and they love to expose a dumb quote.Everybody knows no politicians are ever completely honest.And they think we are stupid and believe every word they say.I love it when President George W. Bush says we must stay the course in Iraq.America's future depends on defeating our enemies.That might be true but if we are in that much danger, why are our borders wide open?If my house was in danger,I would lock the doors and windows.It's funny how stupid politicians are.Say 1 thing and do another.Hillary Clinton got blasted a few weeks ago in that debate where she wavered on the question of giving driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.I was glad to see it,because if your the leader of America your just that a leader.I love it when these clowns stumble it really shows their intentions and intelligence.When your so full of crap you can't even remember what you said or promised the week before the media sure as hell does.No politician is running to make America a better country it's for self gain and to benefit either the Democratic or Republican party's.Hillary Clinton is so stupid the best thing she can do is shut her mouth.She's a chameleon whatever group she speaks to she tells them what they want to hear.The closer it gets to the election the funnier it gets.They attack each other on things they have said and they are all doing the same thing.Politicians are trying to win a popularity contest.It would be great to see 1 candidate tell the truth but that's not going to happen.So the humor will continue,the dumb one's will destroy themselves and the best liar will win.At least the loser's have future's in used car sales.What will it take to put me into office today?
