Default Why Do the Anti-Obama Trolls, Troll?

There seems to be a lot more of it this year... the trolls who have nothing good to say about their OWN candidate, but hope to benefit him by smearing the OTHER candidate with half-truths and outright lies.

We all know who these trolls are. But why do they do it?

Vote, then comment. And thanks.

I think a better poll would be:

"Why do Obama Trolls Make Bad Polls"

Come on, let's keep the polls at least mildly useful.

This is VERY useful. It will help us get to the bottom of this phenomenon. Why do trolls troll? This question has plagued mankind since the invention of the Internet.

If your going to make a thread to make a point, it doesn't need to have a useless poll attached.

However... if this offends anyone's sensibilities (just trying to have a little fun), the mods can delete it with my blessings.

I'm offended and I want to sue you for offending me. I expect monetary compensation, and cake or pie.

Cake OR pie. Not both. NEVER both.
