31. Look at the past Republican administrations. Everyone, except the senior Bush, was crooked.

I was glad to see this aired on CNN this morning. They showed each administration from Nixon to the present. With the exception of 41 everyone had numerous people in their administrations that were convicted and many sent to prison. In comparison only a handful of Democrats administration officials were indicted. Clinton had two and Obama one for a misdemeanor. Reagan had 24 who were indicted and many served jail time. Nixon's vice president was indicted and resigned for fraud and Nixon was so crooked he had to resign while many went to prison.


I have made the charge over and over that the Republican Party is a criminal enterprise that has harbored criminals. Just like gangsters if someone threatens to expose them the retaliate with vengeance. Cheney, in addition to lying us into the Iraq war is so damn evil that he outed an undercover CIA officer who job was to protect us from nuclear threat. That in my estimation is outright treason and he should have been dancing on the end of a rope. But, no he is an honored member of this pack of cutthroats. This list could go on for pages. The Republican party, along with their powerful propaganda machine that dominate hate radio has poisoned our nation to the point that its recovery is in serious doubt.
