Define for profit.  In my eyes getting elected and raking in 3x what the job pays in pay backs is the exact same thing.  The Dems do an outstanding job of this in regards to my original post.  I agree the fear mongering from both sides is atrocious.  I think and believe the true patriots of this great nation will come to realize this and we will shed these labels.  It is also my opinion that the conservatives are a bit ahead of the liberals in this regard, which is why you see more conservatives (much like myself) abandoning the republican party and going Libertarian.  I see my liberal friends coming to the same realization more and more every day; not as fast as I would like but they are coming along.   It will only be a matter of time, well that is my hope.
