There are "good" liberals out there. Those who really do want to do what is best for us all. The problem is distinguishing between those who want what is best for us and those that "know" what is best for us.

Ditto Conservatives, ditto moderates, hell, ditto everything!

All politicians fall into one of two categories: they either deserve the public trust, or they don't, no matter which political stance they take. And as UnderseaLcpl said, the insolvable problem is to separate the honest ones from the bad ones. Politics involves power, and power can corrupt even the most honest of them all.
