Are all Democrats for the people...NO. But in comparison to today's Republicans, they're Mother Teressa
That is like saying, "compared to Lucifer Adolf Hitler was a saint."
The parties are not all that different. The players are no different at all. I don't mean that to sound like I believe that people who get into politics are evil people. I simply mean that power leads to corruption and it takes a saint to avoid the corruption. On the other hand, a saint won't have anything to do with politics. Politics is corrupt and everyone of those men and women in Washington have been bit by the power.
Yes, I'm a cynic, but you will never convince me that any Democrat or Republican has the willpower to remain above the corruption that politics brings. That is the reason I am so adamently for term limits.

AGAIN...Ted Kennedy did... he always put people first... if anyone needed a champion, Kennedy was there... he never put profit or property before human beings...
Power is not alluring to pure minds.

A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.
