5. I am thus far surprised, to be honest.

I have personally been riled up when Republicans get away with bad things/get convinced Democrats are idiots who think "playing nice" is always the way to go, but at the end of the day, I don't want corruption in politics - I want a fair fight, and if that means slinging the occassional mud ball at someone playing dirty (what a metaphor! lol!) I expect someone to throw the punch.

But I have seen "my team/their team" used several times (Bush/Obama; Ferguson), and I even asked the question "why aren't the Ferguson Republicans screaming bloody murder?"

I was curious if my views were common (corruption=bad, regardless of party), or whether I am just...naive.
