You know, what saddens me is that some people think this is a conspiracy theory. And yet if you look at the actual results rather than the intentions of the Democrats it's not hard to see that they don't rock the boat. They do the absolute minimum and try to pass it as "good" because it's "not as bad as the GOP would be". This is far from unique to the US and in fact you gave me the push to write about the very similar (in some respects) situation in Greece.
