They know they can do what ever they wish and Democrats will still vote for them because of our hatred for the GOP. They have the best of both worlds right now. they can pander "big time" to Republicans and not worry one iota about losing any votes. They simply do not have to do anything that is good and decent for America. They can wallow in corporate financing and call the base all the names they wish and suffer no recourse. Is there no solution?

1. You mean like a free toaster?
Sorry...kidding! Even a free toaster wouldn't get them to do what's right.

2. In a word, no.
Politics in this country has devolved into a sport with only two teams. If you want to play, you must pick a team. The team doesn't really care what you think or believe - what, you're going to join the other one? This country needs multiple parties on the right and left, it needs them badly...

4. Odd to think competition might mold their values, but I agree. Also
indicates to me values are lacking, because I always thought you were taught them from mom and pop. Who knew they could change?
