about politics is that once you cross the line of decency, the backlash comes sure as dawn. Remember the words spoken to Sen. Joe McCarthy...

"Senator Joseph McCarthy's legacy remains an embarrassing reminder of how high a morally bankrupt and self-serving person can rise before karma steps in. At least we can look to Joseph Welch and his declaration of "Have you no sense of decency?" and hope that there will always be a course correction when politics fly off the rails."
