32. Two-faced
In front of the cameras, federal politicians talk like there is a big conflict between parties. There isn't.

When leaders like Reid and Pelosi march to the White House, there's backslapping like you'd see in a locker room. "Principle" is just an inside joke. They're members of an exclusive club and - once on the inside - the players take turn helping their pals stay inside. Funded by corporate cash.

This is our system. It is completely understandable; that is, if you approach it as an adult instead of a starry-eyed idealist. Frankly, it's not going to change in the near future, no matter the rhetoric.
