John McCormack says that Democrats just can’t help themselves, but I don’t think that’s quite right. They’ve been helping themselves to heaping piles of pork dollars by cutting deals in backroom negotiations, for instance — and they want to keep right on helping themselves with our tax dollars.

I don't think they're stupid, in the classical sense. After all, many of them are academics who have taught and theorized for years. That's probably one of the problems, they have NO actual experience and won't accept the fact the majority of their beliefs don't work for a number of tried and tested reasons. The vast majority of the PhDs I have met have been very impressed with their own knowledge and intelligence. I think a more accurate question would be "Arrogance or Corruption?" The pols tend to develop a sense of entitlement which increases with tenure. They tend to think they know better than the poor, unwashed people they represent. I'm starting to believe political service should be treated like jury duty except there's a ton of room temperature IQ jurors in the country. Maybe "Arrogant AND Corrupt?"
Think i would have to agree some with what Mongo said .
Yep & Not a neither or thing though imo either.
They are a quite bit of both- arrogant & corrupt.
(Its gota count for something to when you can bribe someone with someone elses( the taxpayers) moneys & not yer own?. )
Not that i know a whole lot about poltics( or polticans) myself- maybe thats how its suppose to work?
