I don't like republicans do in general, but one congressman can affect the whole republican party's polls with an near-sex scandal? That's kinda ridiculous don't you think. Its like implying that all republicans were in on sending sexy emails to minors.

I feel this is another indication that democracy or mobocracy is imperfect. You want to let the majority make big decisions, but you don't make them take time out to learn the issues. Therefore myths, TV campaign soundbytes, and religion take center stage. I think Americans should be required to study for 1 week out of the year on all major issues and reading viewpoints from both sides. That would be a true democracy. Right now, I feel it is a oligarchy struggling to please the whims of a mobocracy.
I love America though.
