I see. Well I guess it's safe to say then that you think party loyality should come before any of the other following? Upholding their oath of office, upholding & defending the constitution, Upholding the laws of this nation. Just three simple things is not too much to ask. Washington expected it, as did Madison, Jefferson, Adams, and others. Their differences aside they expected no less than this standard be upheld and warned of the dangers of not doing so. Give this nation one third sitting congressman and senators who uphold the constitution and forget parties. Of course they would be both the Dems and GOP's worse nightmare as it would mean accountability to the people again and actual fear of loss of office.
