Culture of Corruption

http://www.dispatchpolitics.com/live/content/local_news/stories/2008/05/14/copy/0_BLACK_EYE.ART_ART_05-14-08_B1_1BA6O5F.html?adsec=politics&sid=101

I thought guys like Dann and Traficant were supposed to have an "R" after their names.

Or, could it possibly be that corruption isn't owned by any particular political party?  Wouldn't that be a surprise?

Whack! Whack that straw! Whack it!!"

Obviously, there are crooks in both parties. Obviously, they should be arrested, indicted, convicted and given stiff sentences.

However, just as obviously, what I said in 2006 is just as true today:

There are more national Republican figures being investigated. The GOP boasts more indictments. Rethuglicans account for many more convictions.
Hugely disparate sums of money are involved. The GOP boasts higher-ranking crooks. Republicans wrecked the Ethics Committee and continue fighting against cleanup efforts.

You lost this argument eighteen months ago, and I’m surprised to find you still trying to peddle it. Americans would be much more impressed by a a li’l humility and an effort to clean up your party (yaddayaddayadda, yeah, I know, "I’m not really a Republican, I just consistently defend them and attack Democrats on this board blahblahblah").

Meanwhile, whack that strawman hard as you can.
