Politics is a simple matter of "who gets what" by any means necessary. It doesn't matter what the party affiliation is. It is all about who has the power. And we all know that information is power. Remember also that money can buy you alot of information.
Power is simply "getting someone/something to do what they wouldn't ordinarily do." So, if the democrats revealed the fact that George W. had a cocaine habit, then they may get someone to vote for Al Gore who may not have ordinarily done so. If the republicans put out word of a grand jury investigation, then that information my cause someone to vote against the democratic candidate, who may not have ordinarily done so.
The information that the parties have is used to gain more power than the other.
I agree with Discogoddess, politics is indeed a dirty game where the rule remains - He who has the most information (power) wins!
