Organized criminals simply take power whereas elected governments are granted power by the people. We are often therefore offended by people who paint politicians with the same brush as crooks. Surely we are better judges of personality - we wouldn't ELECT crooks. Who would?

The US isn't above voting for crooks like CEOs of bribe giving corporations. The idea that people voting for crooks legitimizes them is laughable. Get involved in any organization with elected offices (and a pot of money under their control) and watch how the vipers maneuver into position and watch how the majority of members don't know the issues and just show up for voting.
