The politics is just a cover

also from the comments, damien (whose name i occasionally mis-spell, apologies) notes:
"Yep, criminal, criminal, criminal. Going way back and prepared to start wars, sell nuclear weapons, betray state secrets, all for their own gain. The politics is just a cover."
brilliant insight and frame.

someone (digby? josh?) recently made an observation (iirc, from one of their own commentors) that repugs dont believe in govt, as per their mission statement, and therefore any repug politician is only in politics for their own personal gain. otoh, Dems at least believe in govt and so there's at least the chance that a Dem politician (D-Probably Corrupt) isnt as corrupt as a repug (R-Corrupt).

If one doesn't believe in gov't, he can still be part of it for ideological reasons too.

You cant sink the huge dreadnought that the gov't is by swinging your clenched fists and throwing rocks at it. The dogs bark, but the caravan moves on.

However, if you're the captain, you can take the ship's wheel and ram the thing against nearest iceberg or rock.
