Who's Corrupt?

In my opinion, they all are. The US government has been taken over by the "party of government" it doesn't matter if they're marxist-Democrats or "moderate"-Republicans, these people believe that the Federal government is the end-all, be-all and that State's rights is an obsolete concept. Constitutional-Conservatives from both parties must decide whether to vote out the RINO's or seek out a 3rd party.

Politics: Haven't heard much lately about Democrats' plans to make an issue of the GOP's "culture of corruption" in the 2006 elections. Could it be they just don't want to call attention to their own scandals?

Just three weeks ago Democratic Party Chairman Howard Dean inveighed on national TV against the Republicans' "culture of corruption." His remarks were echoed by House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi. The Democratic National Committee has gone so far as to post "The Corruption Files" on its Web site, detailing purported GOP malfeasance.

The strategy isn't looking so hot now that the FBI videotaped Democratic Rep. William Jefferson taking $100,000 from an FBI informant. The FBI later found $90,000 of the cash in Jefferson's freezer. Apparently, Jefferson planned to use the money to bribe a high-ranking Nigerian government official to win business for a U.S. company that, in turn, was bribing Jefferson.

Jefferson, however, is just the latest member of his party to face questions about corrupt or unethical behavior, all but shredding the Dems' "culture of corruption" case against the GOP. Other cases include:
Democrat Rep. Alan B. Mollohan of West Virginia, who is being investigated by the FBI for getting millions of dollars in pork barrel spending for his state, and profiting from it. Mollohan's personal wealth has reportedly grown from $565,000 to $6.3 million in just four years.

Former Sen. Robert Torricelli of New Jersey, who is being investigated by the Senate for meeting with Iraq's U.N. ambassador, Hizar Hamdoun, in the late 1990s and seeking oil-for-food contracts for a Torricelli campaign donor, businessman David Chang.

A handful of Democrats who've been ensnared in the Jack Abramoff scandal, though you likely didn't read about it. They include Michigan Sens. Carl Levin and Debbie Stabenow, and Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid. Just weeks ago, the media were full of stories about how this scandal would sink the GOP. Now, Democrats and their media friends have grown strangely quiet.

An aide to New York Sen. Chuck Schumer at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, who pleaded guilty to fraud after stealing personal data on Maryland Lt. Gov. Michael Steele, a Republican, including his credit report. Schumer heads the DSCC, which helps Democrats run against Republicans nationwide.

Sadly, there's more — including Rep. Cynthia McKinney's outrageous assault on a Capitol Hill security officer and Patrick Kennedy's inebriated car crash.

If the Democrats are counting on corruption to keep their current lead in the polls for this year's midterm elections, they may be in for a very nasty surprise.
