Personally, I've always had the mentality that both sides are corrupt. Like I told masta, I'm declared independent because neither side is for me. They decide things based on special interest groups and the lobbyists that throw $$$ to influence votes. There is no such thing as fair government. It is what it is.

A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-one percent of the people may take away the rights of the other forty-nine. - Thomas Jefferson
