EVERYY one? Are you willing to admit, IYHO, that EVERY one is
self-serving and insincere?

I won't disagree with your premise when it comes to room-temp I.Qs.
There are three here whom I simply will no longer offer any response.
I've actually done what I never thought I'd do. Use a killfile. So
"S", "FH", and "FI" are non-entities.

But to use these knuckle-draggers as "proof" that no politician can
possibly be sincere due to the stupid mantras so easily gobbled up by
the aforementione morons, on either side of the aisle, is a stretching
it a bit.

I will admit, however, that MOST voters are like this. Sadly ignorant.

My proof, though anecdotal due to the small sampling here, is that I
piss-off ignorant people on both sides, which adds credence to my
premise. It really isn't a bad place to be. <g>
