I think I've pinned down the difference between Republicans and Democrats:
Democrats identify real problems and make completely ineffectual laws to "fix" them.
Republicans refuse to admit real problems exist, make up their own bullshit problems, then make completely ineffectual laws to "fix" those.
Empathetic but ineffectual, or self-absorbed and ineffectual, those are your choices...

With our representatives calling themselves our leaders and the revolving door they have with Big Everything (Trillion and Billion dollar incorporations) between being a politician or a lobbyist it really does not matter what flavor you are. They are all politicians, hence they are all less than desirable human beings. Though I will continue to treat them as human beings even though they refuse to behave like one. I do not due this because I feel they have earned it or are entitled to it. I do it because I will not compromise my own ethics due to their lack of any.
