If you've been keeping up with the election, your faith in humanity is probably long gone by now. And mine is, too. It flew right out the window and told me it's never coming back, so see you never, hopes and dreams. While this batch of politicians is blessed with a unique brand of crazy, political weirdos have been spewing absolute nonsense since humans started governing themselves. In honor of campaign season, let's take a look at some of the most bizarre promises that professional crazy people have ever made. (And you know we'll get to you, Donald.) Queen of Ridiculousness Sarah Palin promised to be "more rogue" the next time she ran for president, presumably in an effort to use her favorite word again. She was so rogue, in fact, that she didn't run at all.

Vermin Supreme might be a mock politician, but his promise to give every American a pony back in 2012 is something that I'm still waiting for this year's candidates to revisit.

Professional Hater of Reading Herman Cain promised to veto any bill longer than 3 pages back in 2011, because if it couldn't be decided over dinner, it had no place in politics. In other news, he probably loves Twitter.
