Either Republican elected officials choose to have some degree of integrity or they don't. Right now, the GOP is a celebration of a lack of integrity.

Voters -- Democrats, but voters -- need to organize around issues like this. Call their Congressmen, etc. This doesn't happen spontaneously. Democrats need to make it happen. Not by "railing," by which I think you mean being interviewed on TV. By organizing. Copy the Tea Party and do it.
