Has the breaking point been reached?

When we think of corruption, the first thoughts usually are of bribery or other forms of obtaining favors from politicians or officeholders. Think Senator Robert Menendez or the ‘foundations’ of former presidents or public officials. Those are the blatant forms, which are all too common with today’s politicians, some just do a better job of hiding it than others, while some seem to not be required to hide it.

When we look at the Democrat Party of today, can anyone honestly say that they have not been corrupted? In years past, they stood for something; the members of the Party could be believed when they said they love their country. That is no longer the case.

I recall the stories of the friendship between President Reagan and House Speaker Tip O’Neill, complete with strong disagreements by day and beers or cocktails over dinner. Those days have long ago faded into the history books.

In the ugly days of Watergate, the stories revealed about Nixon shocked the country. My Gawd!! He used the F word in to Oval Office? Fast forward to the Clinton years and his behavior in the Oval Office, Democrats shrugged their shoulders at oral sex being received from a 23-year-old intern as being nothing to get upset about. Things change over time and they have only gotten worse.

It is unfortunate in many ways that politics has descended to the level it has. What the nation needs is for the voters who call themselves Democrats to wake up and realize that enough is enough. How long can one remain loyal to a party that is no longer loyal to the country it professes to serve? How can one be loyal to a party that elects or appoints people like this, or this, or this, or this?
