>> politicians are not model citizens. No, and that is too bad. But the single most important characteristic (integrity) seems to be in shorter supply amongst Democrats. At least the Republicans can muster true integrity at times (e.g., during the Bush administration, there were at least no significant scandals; with the Dems in power it seems there is one every month). The biggest issue with the Dems right now, and what is really doing a lot of damage to the party, is Obama's lack of transparency. It is just shameful and any thinking person can see they're trying to hide important things from the public and have been since the earliest days of his administration. Bush didn't do that, wouldn't have tolerated it. Insignificant points, maybe. But these guys are obscuring the facts on important issues, daily, with new ones being added daily. It is pretty terrible in a place where we're supposed to have freedom based on disclosure.
