I can't believe I'm supporting a bunch of Liberals! :D

It's no longer about doing good for the people. It's about doing what's best to keep the party in power. For what? I don't know since once they are in power, they still don't accomplish anything of merit.

Some people simply enjoy being in charge, and will do anything to get there. Where I live, the Democrats have been in power since the 1930s. In fact, during the last city/county election, they actually blamed the *Republicans* because they couldn't come up with better candidates. Think about it--are you going to vote for the Democrat, whose family has been in office for decades and has name recognition (and usually gets backed by a certain big newspaper), or the Republican, who has just entered into the arena?

So they stay in power, and post their stooges into positions that they really shouldn't be in. Getting the city into financial shit while they play their games.
