Another Scummy Democrat Caught
Hmmmm... I thought only Republicans were the scummy, sleazy, unethical sort.

It's not the party, it is the set up of our government. Most of the senators and house members are influenced by lobbyists, Big Oil, Tobacco, Alcohol, and Auto groups. They take payoffs to vote the way these groups want. The way it is set up these elected officals are just looking to the next situation they can make a buck off of. The only time they change this tune is when their seat is threatened. Fighting about which party is the scummiest is not the answer. Most of both are. Fighting to do away with the lobbyists, and to get runoff voting instilled, is.

Does that apply to Republicans too? Or have they developed a "Culture of Corruption"?
