If every elected official, from the White House, Congress, and State Capitol, to the County Commission and City Council, was forced to resign over ethically challenged and behind-the-scenes suspicious backroom politics, then all of them would be gone — and that's not a bad idea.
The Republicans are as bad as the Democrats who are as bad as the right-wing conservatives and the left-wing liberals. It's always about power no matter what any politician says.
The only thing you can trust about politicians is their ever-present will to feather their own nest and butter their own buns with someone else's feathers and butter.
