The scandal that lost him the Speakership went a long way toward gaining the GOP the Congress in 1994. What about Dan Rostenkowski? Is he out of jail yet? The perceived (and in some cases, actual) corruption of the Congress under Democratic leadership was a major impetus in 1994.

Nobody's perfect and there are no white knights. I may feel that the GOP vision of America is a fairy tale, but I also realize it doesn't engender more corruption than Democrats. It only engenders much more obvious and vulgar displays. Corrupt Democrats at least have the good sense not to trumpet what they're doing.
