Corrupt Establishment GOP is Crony Capitalism's Bought and Paid for Political Arm

[Cujo0920]

Well said, sir. The OP's point is that voters and taxpayers, regardless of party affiliation, need to hold their elected officials and party leadership accountable, period. As we did with Scott Morse. Power corrupts, as Canter, McCain, and Miss Lindsey Graham demonstrate daily through their fecklessness and contempt for traditional Republican principles. Unfortunately, our political class can count on sheep of the sort who seem to be well represented in here to mindlessly pull the R or D lever every election and parrot the party line, too ignorant or unprincipled to care that their so-called representatives, regardless of R or D labels, have been bought and paid for by K Street lobbyists who draft the bills they sign - giving us gems like Common Core and Obamacare that enrich well-connected special interests and voting blocs at the expense of taxpayers and the public interest. These same sheep then emulate their mainstream media border collies by bleating that anyone who doesn't go along with the status quo is somehow an Alex Jones conspiracy theorist or (shudder) "a Dem." Baaaaah go the good little sheep who have never had an original or independent thought in their entire life. Little do they know that they are every GOP sellouts' wet dream, since their support is automatic and mindless regardless of how badly our political elites are screwing them over or leading the country to ruin.

Do you think bi-partisan support for "immigration reform" (i.e. cheap labor for Big Business, more "entitlement" programs & votes for Democrats, despite public opposition) had anything to do with the mass influx of Central American migrant kids flooding across our southern border? I don't recall voting for this.
