has the republican party become the party of crooks (tom delay, jack abramoff)?

Answer 1

don't forget cheney and rove.

Answer 2

No

Your "become" is polite but in actuality evil un-Godtoward behavior is common on the right wing and nothing new.

Even Abraham Lincoln (a redpublican) had soldiers march into unwinable battles so they would be killed and not have to be paid. Battle of cold creek 20,000 died so the North would not have to make pay-role.

The disposing of non-humans is a common practice with redpublican totalitarian dictatorial party members. Did you ever hear the police use the term NHI (no humans involved) it is used to let ambulance drivers etc know to slow down that the emergence only involved people of color or white trash.

As for hand in the offering basket, isn't that what politicians on both sides of the aisle do.

Answer 3

What about Impeached-Fellon President Bill Clinton? Or the Inventor of the Internet and the preacher of the Hoax of Global Warming Al Gore? Or The Lies of John Kerry?

There are bad apples in both parties. Make your Voice heard by Voting for Your Politician Every November... :)

Bashing Bush and Republican's is getting So Old Don't you Think?

Answer 4

Harry reid took Abramoff Cash and William Cold Hard Cash Jefferson had his offices searched so your party lacks clean hands If the court rules against Delay who is seeking to remove his name from the Ballot I bet you that Delay gets reelected.
Cynthia McKinney in contrast won't debate her fellow Democrats.
There is a culture of Corruption in the Democrat Party.

Answer 5

1) Abramoff is not a politician he was a lobbyist
2) Tom Delay has not been found guilty of any crime
3) There are democrats involved in that scandal also
4) You are innocent until proven guilty in this country

Politicians unfortunately seem to be easily corrupted and this has little to do with political affiliation. If you are truly interested in stopping corruption, vote for term limits and an end to political lobbying.

Answer 6

Not at all. All political parties have their share of corrupt people.

But if you noticed, there were no Republicans defending Abramoff, unlike all the Dems who defend all their own criminals. Look who Dems glorify. Byrd - a KKKer. Kennedy - killer. Hillary - crook. Kerry - traitor. Clinton - perjurer, sexual harasser, suspected rapist.

The GOP tends to boot people like these, not worship them.

And therein lays all the difference.

Answer 7

You have forgotten the Clintons and the Rose Law firm scandal, the White House Travel Office Scandal, and the "suicide" of White House Deputy Council Vince Foster (Hillary's alleged lover).

And the Kennedys...there is not enough room here to detail all of their illegal and corrupt dealings.

Abramoff, by the way, had dealings with as many democrats as republicans, and he is a lobbyist, not a member of either party.

Don't be so one sided...neither party is corrupt, per se, but members of both are. Power corrupts...no one is immune.

Answer 8

Both parties have a good number of crooks in them. The Republicans are less willing to stand up against unethical and illegal behavior among the party members, and have more of that behavior than do the Democrats, but it's fair to say that the problems are common on both sides of the aisle. Neither is "the" party of crooks.

We bear quite a bit of responsibility for the behavior as well. If you respond to televised "attack ads" by voting for the attacker, you've rewarded the use of such ads. That means you've told politicians who try to honestly represent us to get lost and you've insisted on politicians who play political games. Since those games - televised ads - cost considerable money, you've also insisted on politicians who are more interested in campaigning and in campaign contributions than in governing. It is fair to say that the American public brought this down on itself: we demand dishonest politicians, and that's what we get.

Answer 9

No more than the Dems. The media just glosses over when Dems break the law and make it front page news when GOPers do. Politician is pretty much a synonym for crook in this country anymore just like used-car salesman, lawyer, and people who "find" fingers in their chili at Wendy's.

Answer 10

LOL....typical......I think you need to recheck that list of Jack Abramoff. You'll see there are just as many democrats on that list too. If you do your research you will also find there are crooks on both sides of the isle, so I wouldn't be too quick to attack. There is heavy ammunition on both sides.

Answer 11

are you a crack baby? Ok dude jack abramoff is a rino (republican in name only) So whatever he does doesnt fall on everyone.... thats like saying a white guy tripped so all white people are clumsy? come one get a life.
