You don't have to look any further then the likes of Charles Rangel to see this effect. And yes he's just one guy but IMO he's a classic example of "whatever my side does is acceptable." And you can find limitless examples on both the right and left. But Rangel's a guy who even though he's the Chairman of the House Committee on Ways and Means couldn't figure out out to pay his taxes and was somehow living in several rent controlled apartments at once. Even he admits he failed to report income on a rental property.... but it was an accident. He didn't mean to... bull shit. Isn't it odd these guys never accidentally over pay their fair share? If you're in a leadership role regarding taxes I think you should make damn sure you're not involved with anything that even looks like it might be wrong.

To me he's one of many that leaving me shaking my head and thinking how bad to you have to be before your own side says no more, you're fired. But I think the US voters have become so much like a sports fan, as Wes points out, that as long as you're on my team I'll vote for you.
