Let them laugh! Everyone with any sense knows that they're all vying for access to all the money that flows through Washington. Most probably to enrich themselves, some for the power controlling that money gives them. Or both. There are some decent fellows there. What concerns me is slowing down the excesses, the tearing of the social fabric. Protecting the future for following generations. Not with pie in the sky theories but solid economies that give them a decent life. Anyone who thinks that both parties are really the same aren't paying attention. It's intellectually lazy to say so. But there are certainly people within my party who are more interested in lining their pockets than helping the average person have a better life.
