General Discussion

The problem with the Republican party is that it's full of Republicans. They seem to have lost whatever integrity they had shortly after Lincoln was assassinated.
Some folks will try to claim the "not all Republicans " gambit, but I would suggest that they go and listen to Rachel Maddow's podcast, "Bagman", where she discusses what her research into the corruption of, mainly Spiro Agnew, but also Richard Nixon, unearthed.
Not punishing Agnew and Nixon, letting them resign instead, is a big part of why our country is in its current fix.
