One of the unfortunate facts of American politics, is that too many people vote party over the individual, and many do so, only because it is what they grew up with. Also, people have a tendancy to vote on emotion, rather than logic. The Dems and Reps of 1950 are not the Dems and Reps of 2006. To vote one party over the other, simply because of what they once were is rather foolish, in my opinion.
Another unfortunate fact of American politics is that once in power, politicans are reluctant to give up that power. That is a large part of all the "loophole" legislation that gets proposed, and too often passed. Be it the tax code, minimum wage, insurance, ad nasueaum.
The third unfortunate, in this sad trilogy, is that because of the above, it isn't going to get fixed.
