It's Not the System, it's the Republicans

Commenting on another blogger, Donzelion's post Paperwight neatly sums up what distinguishes the Republicans currently running things in Washington,

"The Republicans of the last 15 years or so are remarkable in that they don't actually believe in government, and so feel no compunction about stripmining it in a spectacular show of nepotism, pork, corruption, and destruction, all personified in Tom DeLay."

Although all Republicans in Washington may (!) not be as corrupt as DeLay, until very recently, and even then not very convincingly, an exceptional few have dared speak out agaist him and all who have remained silent have been complicit in his corruption.
