Dude, all politicians are criminals and suck, your implication that republicans are any worse than the criminals that you support just shows that you're experience with the US political scene is limited. They're all crooks, they all have their hands in the cookie jar, and every 4 years we elect or re-elect 1 of them to run the country because someone has to have the job.
Let me ask you this... what have your hero Democrats that you voted in last year done for you so far? And I'm being serious, what has changed so dramatically that they're living up to your hopes and dreams and expectations that you had when you pulled the lever last November?

100%. I think it's naive to think that it's any different. Democrats aren't anointed with some saintly ability to not want power, influence, and money. They want it just the same and are not above anything. It's sort of like that old saying "when you point a finger you have four pointing at yourself". I also agree that they won last November on a "vote for us because we're not them" platform back with no substance.
