Do they see characteristics they associate with power but cannot pursue, themselves? Or looking merely for someone, anyone, willing to relieve them of personal responsibility? Or are they truly seduced, or merely gullible? Locally and globally we have at least three prominent leaders proven liars, playing pea-and-thimble politics (and economics). All have been re-elected, even after clearly revealed.

A reporter once caught George H.W. Bush in a lie in a debate and he confronted the president's press secretary. The press secretary replied you can say anything in a debate. Eight million people will hear you. If some reporter contradicts you, how many people will read it? Twenty? Two hundred? Twenty thousand?

Why do they vote for liars and womanizers?
Usually to lazy to know candidates, it is easier to vote party line.
A local elections elected a registered Communist Party member
who was a registered democrat. He campaigned on be communist but no one listened until he was a County Commissioner & laughed at everyone. Still we vote party lines.
I have never voted a straight party line.

Because they usually have more money to pay for the slickest ads. As Mark Twain said: "A lie will travel halfway around the world, while the truth is putting on it's shoes.".

i think you should have to take an IQ test to vote, or go into politics. maybe that would cut down on America's stupidity?
