Right, absolutely no consequences for her. When they say, "the money was reimbursed", they mean the Obama campaign covered it, not that she paid it out of her pocket. That actually makes it seem even worse - while acting in her official capacity, she was actually campaigning for Obama, which they've admitted by covering the cost; pretending after the fact that she wasn't acting as Secretary of the HHS is a copout. Additionally, the ethics training part is a joke; she's well aware of what the rules are. Everyone that works for the HHS is, as they get spammed with E-mails that are signed by Sebelius regarding the rules of the Hatch act.
I'm not sure what about this story makes you hate a political party though. This is a problem with Sebelius, not with Democrats as a whole.
