text: once all the republican politicans are out of office? and inditied and jailed will the crime rate drop nah.  we asked the same question in 1994 when it was democrats at the helm.  the jails are a bit more red these days and in ten years, when power returns to corrupt the democrats, we'll be voting republican while the dem's go to jail.  it's like watching a clock pendulum...  power corrupts.  absolute power corrupts absolutely.
