won't cross. It appears to be part of being a republican. Occasionally, one will rebel and say "No, I won't do THAT", but they are so few and far between and they are knowingly committing political suicide.

On the other hand, Democrats aren't inclined to support other Democrats who commit corrupt and criminal acts. Principles mean absolutely nothing if they change on a political whim. As others have said, "You can always quit politics and have a good life in another career". Not to mention, that so many have considerable income from other sources. I think politics for some is very addictive.
