Can we infer, then, that you have NOT voted for these "criminals" in the past?  Which of "these people" are the criminals?  As I mentioned in another posting to another article, the D's and R's keep nominating either the same people, or their clones ... and most voters, in my opinion, do their civic duty by holding their noses and choosing the lesser of two evils.  Now, if we ALL banded together and voted for candidates NOT belonging to either of the main political parties, perhaps we could elect someone who would not be a "criminal."  But then, what party would that be, and would we be any better off electing them, instead of D's and R's?
