You know sh!t indeed. If you get to actually know the Muslim Brotherhood you will realize that they are more than willing to be U.S's b!tch and get in return power and authority in the region. Muslim Brotherhood is a pure political party, a sh!tty one that is. They just use religious speech to influence dumb masses.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

So just because we elect them we are responsible for them? What happened to people being responsible for their own actions? We don't prosecute the voters when one of their representatives are indicted for a crime. How is this any different?

The difference is this.. This wasn't some random crime, this was typical US policy that really hasn't changed for 40 years.. Hell yes you can blame the voter for this because this has been going on for so long.. This isn't just some random event that took every one by surprise, this is long standing policy..

Same principle. US voters cannot be held accountable for what elected politicians do. An individual is responsible for their own actions.

Isn't that the whole point of a representative democracy? We can't have all people involved in decision making so we let them elect few people to represent them in governance and policy making. Being indicted for a crime is irrelevant to one's political career, its only relevant to his/her personal life. Another point is I'd buy into your "voters are not responsible for the actions of the representatives they elected" argument if those voters where somehow deceived to elect them once. But these people keep getting reelected over and over and you'd expect voters to have enough responsibility/maturity to elect some decent people.married to the one and only kawaii Lebanese FMAB-GTO

Yes, it is. So how can a voter be responsible for their representative if they are not responsible for the crimes of those representatives? It makes no sense. You can't cherry pick just because it suits you. It's either all, or nothing.
