Right. You can't answer the question, so you attack me. It's perfect. You can't defend the fact that this little clubhouse of yours has an entire "hot topic" devoted for insane conspiracy theory screeds ripped from 4Chan, but zero-zilch-nada about the arrested local Republican congressman. The hypocrisy is pure comedy perfection.
The answer, of course, to my rhetorical question is that you NEVER BELIEVED in honesty or integrity or good government or decency or reform. You were ALWAYS about blind tribalism and just parroting whatever idiot talking points got filtered down to you from the likes of, e.g., Chris Grant through his customers, like Mychajliw and Collins, or like, I dunno, absolute cretins like Angela Wozniak or Dino Fudoli. Of the three most recent Republicans to occupy the former NY-26, current NY-27 district, all three left office under some cloud of scandal. Chris Lee was trolling for sex online and quit. Collins is under arrest and should - but won't - quit. Reynolds was caught defending a pedophile.
But yeah, deflect and pretend like you have some sort of monopoly on honorable politicians who really take the "taxpayer" and look out for his or her interests. Thin gruel, that.
