I would first like to dispel your pessimism by introducing you to a politician that isn't slimy or spineless.

His name is Jim Webb. He's running in 2016 as a Democrat.

He's pro worker (anti-illegal immigration, against outsourcing, supports minimum wage increase), isolationist (except in the case of China, which he is cautious toward), supports gun rights, tamper proof IDs for voting, English as the official language. He's a war hero and stands up for the white working class everyone else ignores.

>In a 2010 Wall Street Journal op-ed titled "Diversity and the Myth of White Privilege," Webb called out the salad-bowl, racial preferences wing of the Democratic Party, writing that a "plethora of government-enforced diversity policies have marginalized many white workers" and declared that "present-day diversity programs work against that notion" of equal opportunity because they have "expanded so far beyond their original purpose that they now favor anyone who does not happen to be white."

More and more conservative websites are writing about him, it would be interesting to see them vote for him en masse.

As if to directly contradict me, the Cromnibus fiasco made me pessimistic again regarding American politics. I have faith we'll deal with the traitors though.

Another keeper:

>Jeff Sessions: Congress Must Deny Funding For Obama’s Illegal Amnesty And Work Authorization

>“The Chairman of the Republican Party made a promise to America on executive amnesty: ‘We can’t allow it to happen and we won’t let it happen… everything we can do to stop it we will.’

>Unfortunately, the plan now being circulated in the House fails to meet that test. The executive amnesty language is substantially weaker than the language the House adopted this summer, and does not reject the central tenets of the President’s plan: work permits, Social Security, and Medicare to 5 million illegal immigrants—reducing wages, jobs, and benefits for Americans.

>Congress considered and rejected these changes to immigration law in 2006, 2007, 2010, 2013, and 2014. The President’s action erases the laws Congress has passed in order to implement laws Congress has refused to pass.

>Now the President demands Congress fund his imperial decree and declare its own irrelevance.

>That is why Congress must respond to the President’s unlawful action by funding the government but not funding illegal amnesty. This is a perfectly sound and routine application of congressional authority. In fact, the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service reports that last year’s omnibus spending bill included 16 such funding restrictions on fee-based programs.

>Such a plan would put the focus where it belongs: on Senate Democrats. They are the ones who should be made to choose sides—save Obama’s amnesty or save Americans’ jobs and borders.

>Polling shows voters believe that Americans should get preference for available jobs by almost a 10-1 margin. Republicans should not be timid or apologetic, but mount a bold defense of struggling Americans.

>Billions of dollars and countless hours have been spent advocating immigration policies that help everyone but the actual citizens of this country. Who will be their voice, if not us?”

Note the senators who voted "No" on Cromnibus.

Luckily, both of mine did. I emailed my senators to thank them. If yours voted yes, be sure to harass them on Twitter for it. They aren't used to getting attention, so a lot of negative attention will make them shit their pants.

I'm starting to like Jim Webb and if he gets the nomination I might just support him (not even a Democrat either).
However, I'll be looking for guys like these in both parties.

>This is why it isn’t really the Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren who should worry the Clinton camp. It’s the former Virginia senator Jim Webb, a Vietnam War hero, former secretary of the Navy in the Reagan administration, novelist and opponent of endless wars in the Middle East. Late last month, Mr. Webb formed an exploratory committee. “He’s a very long shot,” Leslie H. Gelb, president emeritus of the Council on Foreign Relations, told me. “He has to become a serious candidate. At that point she would find him much more complex than dealing with liberals. He’s not a liberal, but a lot of what he says might appeal to liberals. He does not get carried away by humanitarian intervention.”

>Mr. Webb’s attacks on free trade and economic elites, coupled with a call for America to come home again, might well prove a potent combination in the early primaries, attracting antiwar progressives as well as conservative-minded Southern white men whom he believes the party can win back. His credo is as simple as it is persuasive: Rather than squander its power and resources abroad, America should rebuild.
