Recent revelations regarding Herschel Walker and Mehmet Oz are disturbing, but by no means do mean the contests are won. The GOP does not care about anything but power

I wish old-fashioned conservatism would get its share of the blame for all this. Start with the idea that government mostly shouldn't do anything at all, and then what's a Senator for, except to push the "NO" button every time some Democrat gets an idea we should actually do something to help people? Mehmet Oz or Herschel Walker are perfectly capable of doing that, more capable than the average person, because they've now proven they have no conscience to trouble them.
And if you start with the idea that it's wrong to expect anything from the government (unless you're rich) because getting help from the government makes you a lazy moocher, then what motivates you to get to the polls? Nothing but hate, politics can serve no positive purpose, because we've already established that government can serve no positive purpose.
