BOTH parties have not been voting for the peoples best interest. Just because you have a D besides your last name doesn't mean you vote the peoples interest. I hold the Dem's just as accountable than the GOP. In fact I hold them to a greater degree. We need more populists and reformists of either stripe running for office. And when they go to vote for a bill, they need to remember who sent them to office, not who bankrolled their campaign.
