Of course there's corruption, deception and hypocrisy in all corners in Washington, DC. It's the nature of power and politics, unfortunately, and eternal vigilance is required to keep them honest, no matter the affiliation.
What burns me up is how there's a complete double-standard. Anthony Wiener, for example, is an intolerable narcissist who sent lewd pictures of himself in behavior unbecoming of an elected official. I won't for a moment defend this man, no matter how much he may have fought for progressive causes. Yet, Republican Sen. Vitter is still in office. IOKIYAR seems to be the rule these days.
Whether you support it or not, the GOP and their supporters do flip back and forth on the issue of the investigation of wrongdoing based on which party is in power at that time. The main stream media, contrary to charges of "liberal bias", plays right along with it. When Bush lied us into a war, the word "lie" was suddenly and strictly forbidden. When allegations about Obama's supposed "lie" about Obamacare were bandied about, the media jumped on the bandwagon, saying "Obama lied" without any fact checking or perspective.
I'm just asking for the same rules to apply to both parties.
