Do you think the Dems are astute enough to notice? They are very busy fighting among themselves and playing government.

I think the problem is,
like anything else, the individuals are pretty good people, or failing that, are good at gaining voter confidence. They have to be, otherwise they wouldn't be there.
The problem comes when they finally get the key to the clubhouse. Then they start behaving like club members instead of like statesmen.

Re:
Arcadio: You're right. Many people condemn Congress as an institution but like their Congressman or Senators.

We expect politicians to walk the crooked mile, so most of us with a working brain have a clue that they're likely to spin any situation and hide the truth. But some of us used to think the ink rats and vid kids were obligated to report the facts.

It's funny that we all hate congress yet approval ratings for senators and congressmen individually are very high. It's always the other congressmen we have a problem with. I'd say the whole institution should be turned over, but I like a few of them very much.
