All men having power ought to be mistrusted.

The executive has no right, in any case, to decide the question, whether there is or is not cause for declaring war.
~James Madison

If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.
~James Madison

    The stance that both Republicans and Democrats are corrupt is a right wing frame. Yes, both parties have problems, and both parties have corrupt members. However, in the republican party corruption is a core party value, embraced by the leadership, and found everywhere you look. far fewer democrats are under investigation for corruption.

    Furthermore, YOU DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANYTHING IN THIS POST. where’s the goddamn content? the first quote says that we should make sure that there isn’t corruption, not that corruption is guaranteed. it argues only that we should keep a watchful eye… and if you’re going to watch, watch the guys who are more frequently corrupt.

    the second quote says that 1) bush is out of line 2) that the repubs are out of line for supporting him 3) that the democrats should have known better than to believe bushes lies. that doesn’t make them corrupt, only gullible.

    third is an indictment of bush and the repubs only.

    if you’re going to parrot right wing memes, at least have the decency to provide some support instaed of mindlessly quoting.

    Both are corrupt. They bow to the 40,000+ lobbyist sitting outside on their doorstep. We are a nation where elections are won by the highest bidder. Get rid of the lobbyist and quit putting the interest of corporations above that of the people. As I say, both are corrupt but agree the neo-cons are more corrupt.

    [...] Also worthwhile to check out: 7 Insane Soviet Projects, Colin Powell’s top aide says Neocon almost provoked nuclear war with China, Web Sites like Wikipedia are Promoting a “Dictatorship of Idiots”, check out this map of the USA where states are renamed with countries with similar GDP levels, and in the obvious world, Republicans and Democrats are both corrupt.

    Certainly both parties have corrupt people, but the democrats simply by the values they stand for are more corrupt as a party. That’s pretty clear. Why do you think the people with high values and standards, such as christians, overwhelmingly vote republican. Dems claims to care about the poor Main St. people but have a record of charitable donations far less than the reps. Hmmm. Maybe they don’t walk the talk.
