The corruption of an individual member of Congress isn't either common or rare and it's sad to hear. Usually the party of that person suffers a bit and they are jettisoned quickly, with little concern for their personal lives. But, when an entire party or (indeed) all the political class is seen as bought & paid for it damages all of America. The image of a party leader handing out money to members of the House to ensure passage of a bill is pretty disgusting. There is also the idea that the rich can simply buy the legislation they want. It corrupts individuals, a party and everything.
This alone is a good reason to prevent the Keystone XL pipeline from ever being built.
