Doc: Well let is not confound issues. You were talking about corruption, not policy.

And that is quite a statement: The GOP has been bribed to not reign in spending. Got any proof for such a sweeping allegation?

I contend that the GOP corruption is pretty lightweight compared to the DEMs. You never hear about Dem corruption. Take the Unions alone. A great deal of Union electioneering support, paid campaign workers, etc. is quite illegal. Or take Clinton and Loral. What about that Billion or so of campaign contributions, contributions gathered in violation of Federal law, that Obama took in last year? Or the Democrats and Fannie and Fredie. What about TARP and all those Money Center Banks and traders (they are almost all democrat you know)? In fact our whole work-a-day federal employment structure is a corrupt democrat racket. You are letting the double standard of our culture color you perceptions.

The GOP does not come within 100 orders of magnitude of Democrat corruption.
