As soon as Bush took office, they gave the tax rebate (which I have mixed feelings over) and continued to piss money away on an endless war and corporate hand-outs.
A big reason why I've never voted Republican in my life is because of the distance between their platform and their behavior. If for no other reason, I at least respect Democrats for telling the truth about their policy initiatives.

I can't help but think, if it weren't for lobbying, we wouldn't have supply-side economics, the military industrial complex, the prison industrial complex, the militarization of the police and we would probably have single payer healthcare and reasonable gun control.
Anyone who thinks money doesn't buy access to the corridors of power is either a crook himself, or a naif.
