i think the opposite is true.
anyone that wants to get elected is forced to say anything to appeal to a broad enough base to be electable.
we hold politicians to impossible standards, pick apart ever syllable of every word and twist it against them, demand the impossible and have basically created a position that attracts nothing but narcissistic, sociopathic weirdos.
obama is just as full of shit as anyone else is. he's changed his position on almost anything he's ever talked about once he realized his position wasn't the most popular or wasn't resonating with those voters who need to be swayed to his side
mccain is just a creepy looking weirdo... that can't stop talking about how he can't get along with either party (i.e. "maverick") and who can't stop talking about vietnam. sorry... i don't give a fuck if some guy 600 years ago flew a plane a war or got shot down and captured while doing it. doesn't make him a great president or competent leader.
