Election thoughts

Well it's near over. Almost all the details are out there for everyone to see and ponder. I just wonder what all the politicians who disgraced their party and country with an ugly array of scandals are feeling today. It looks like scandal and corruption had a good deal to do with the Republican parties extensive losses. Some say as much as the Iraq war. Some how I doubt that they lost much sleep over it. The roots of this kind of behavior comes with the package. It was successfully suppressed for a long time but the leopards stripes emerged unchanged in the end. I believe around 15 of these people even had the audacity to run again. One that I'm aware of even incorporated contrition into their campaign . I don't yet know the outcome of these races but I hope few made it. Wouldn't it be great if no politician in the history of the country was ever reelected after being involved in scandal or corruption. Even better would be if we caught them before they could get elected in the first place.
