As someone who believes both the Dem & Rep parties are utterly worthless and corrupt to their cores,,,,,
At this point in time, the dem talking heads etc have the luxury of being able to deal in facts far more than the reps.
That said, 98% (or more) of elected officials - regardless of party - are nothing more than whores to their big money paymasters.

I don't watch much TV, but Joe Scarborough sure ain't no liberal and he's on MSNBC every morning.
I get that you hate both parties. Who doesn't? But one IS better than the other, and positive change DOES happen when the people demand it. The problem is apathy. When citizens can't be bothered to learn the names of their lawmakers - let alone contact them - the lobbyists cum in their pants. Then they've got Mr. and Mrs. Senator all to themselves.
The people can demand clean elections, but don't. The people can insist on a fairer system of taxation, but don't. The people can insist on renewable sources of energy, but don't. Sure there's tons of dirty money polluting the system - but the people still have the vote - and the lawmakers know it.
I'm not saying ANY significant change is easy. It's always been a struggle. But positive changes have taken place over America's history, even with our fucked up system. Tons of them.
And I stand by what I said regarding Faux vs. MSNBC; Faux gets away with shit that MSNBC never could.
