Culture of Corruption: Bush & Cheney the Enron Republica
Why any decent American will not affiliate with republicans:
Voter fraud, election rigging and high crimes and misdemeanors all come to mind at first.
The Republican party is entrenched with corporate interest and special interest lobbyists who are selling off public lands, polluting our lands and waters and forfeiting our Bill of Rights in the name of 'security'. They have already sold off the Clean Water Act and STILL propose drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. While the Democrats are not much better, we have the Repubs ruling the White House, the Senate, AND Congress
$300 BILLION dollars and three years later, we have more bodybags coming home from IRAQ and Afghanistan and our troops are left as referees in a Civil War in a Muslim country. Thanks to genius Repub leadership, Iraq remains a war without a purpose nor plan. "Stay the course" is pure insanity and blind faith in a clueless leader who opened the Pandora's box of wars.
Republicans SAY they are the party of lesser government, yet the Republican regime in power has created the biggest beaurocratic entity in the history of the U.S.
The republican party is currently deeply ensconced with multiple horrific scandals involving breaches of public trust too ghastly to name in a paragraph.
Does the name Tom DeLay mean anything to you?
Does Karl Rove ring a bell. There are many examples of top republican leaders who have been forced from their offices due to being caught lieing to Grand Jurys and scamming tax payers.
How about Charlie Wilson's war? Want to know how we got into so much trouble with fundamentalist Islam? Read up on how we trained the Mujahideen and incited a holy war that has backfired in our faces.
Are you familiar with Jack Abramoff and the multple scandals he is involved in with multiple congressional and senate republicans?
Think before you vote. Do your homework. Be willing to listen to all sides.
The republican party in the old days was known as the party of lesser government and fiscal responsibility.
Times have changed.
The republican party is now known as the culture of corruption and greed.
(addendum)
- I have to agree with blutzski that the Dems have trouble too, but rather than giving up voting due to frustration, I'm looking harder for a good libertarian or democratic candidate.
Someone not corrupted by the deep pocketed lobbying groups.
