"Which wouldn't be good." Why not? I think you'd love that.

Probably. But, given the number of Republicans caught toe-tapping, cheating on their wives and other such behavior, you are talking about eliminating a lot of the Republicans. The numbers are very small. It isn't a good thing, but this kind of behavior goes with the power that politicians thrive on. The problem of cheating on spouses is an embarrassment to both sides. They shouldn't do it, but politicians have done it forever, and I don't see that changing. What the public SHOULD be very concerned about, of course, is corruption -- which runs rampant within the Democrat party. Worse, the Democrat leadership seems to be fine with it. Just look at the corruption within the Democrat party. Today, you have Rangel -- the most important single person in the writing of our tax legislation -- cheating like hell on his taxes. We've got money in freezers. Baby-mamas. The continuing Blago saga in Chicago. Spitzer in NY. A literal parade of cabinet candidates who can't win approval because of tax and other problems. Both sides have plenty to complain about. But the Ds just runaway with the corruption prize. And this isn't a transitory situation -- it has been as long as I can remember. Years ago Rottenkowski and Jim Wright were doing the same kinds of shit. I mean, really. Can't we get A LITTLE BIT OF INTEGRITY out of you guys?
