Reply #27: That's a cop out

Politicians often succumb to the temptations of power that their positions give them - as everyone does.

This is the standard line that people use to justify their ignorance - that all politicians are crooks and it's this sort of thinking that keeps republicans in power.

I assure you that we wouldn't be worrying about Roe being dismantled, minimum wage laws being overturned, and environmental laws being gutted, if Kerry or Gore were in power instead of Bush.
