ya see... the issue is that democrats don't elect anyone. The people, from across the entire political spectrum elect folks. Don't like who represents you, vote for the other guy, or run for the seat yourself. Beyond that, just stfu.

So when a liberal claims that "Republicans" elected Nixon, Bush etc., you'll be right there in their faces telling them to STFU, Meximan?
If I happen to see such a post, I will certainly comment on it. Republicans NOMINATED Nixon, Bush, et.al., but the electorate in total voted them into office. And these threads about corrupt politicians are nearly always slices of partisan fluff without any real merit. There are crooked politicians on both sides of the spectrum and there always been. TO attempt to claim some moral high ground for one party or the other vis a vis corruption is patently ridiculous.

"ya see... the issue is that democrats don't elect anyone. The people, from across the entire political spectrum elect folks." ~ I'm pretty sure you don't know what a Democrat is and you certainly don't know the difference between a Democrat and a Liberal. This talk is basically childs talk.
