Congress is a criminal enterprise.
To treat them as anything else is naive.
Republicanism has become a religion. It doesn't matter what they say or what they do, they still have their true believers. John Boehner said to not judge them by how many bills they passed but by how many they have repealed. They have repealed zero laws and passed about the same number.
They don't even try to hide their intent anymore. If it is not for the benefit of the top 1%, they are against it. They are willing to throw the elderly and the needy out on the street if that benefits the wealthy in any way.
They are in the game, not for public service, but to stuff their own pockets. Almost every single Congressperson is more wealthy now than when they took office. Many of them are millionaires. They use insider trading to enrich themselves.
They ignore or vote against anything that might benefit the people at large. The only time they leave Congress is when they get a better offer from some lobbyist group. They are criminal in every sense of the word.

criminal for it encompasses virtually every element of a multi-faceted heinous obscenity.
