Hillary Isn't Unique- Democrats are the Most Corrupt Politicians

Crooks tend to fall in with other crooks. Corrupt democrats know that if felons have a political party, it's going to be Democrat, because birds of a feather flock together.

I would always prefer to extend the right to vote to more people living in the U.S. than attempt to take away the right the vote from anyone. A ploy of the right for decades has been to round up African Americans and throw them in jail on bull**** charges to get them off the street. I bet if we passed a law that put 30% of white christian men in jail you'd change your tune about whether they should be allowed to vote.

Yes, criminal law is yet another vast right wing conspiracy. No wonder why you came here to suport Hillary.

For 2010- 2015, these are the numbers for politicians who were busted for corruption related offenses on the state and local level, while serving in government.

Democrats- 77
Republicans- 30

*For the purpose of this thread, I only counted elected politicians who were busted on corruption related offenses, such as bribery, extortion, embezzlement, voter fraud, and corruption charges.
Politicians busted for DUI, sexual crimes, and physical assault were not counted. This list I'm including has some interesting entries, one woman was even sentenced to a year in jail for entering into marriage to try to gain citizenship! And yep, she's a Democrat, State Assemblywoman Gabriela Rosa.

Some people on this list were also excluded, such as 4 Philadelphia Traffic Court judges (all democrats) who were busted for corruption charges, but aren't really considered elected politicians.

Yes, Republicans just take larger, legalized bribery. It's why Jeb "Please clap for me" Bush got hundreds and hundreds of millions of donations from the largest corporations and Big Oil just a few months into the primary.

Comparing Democrats and Republicans on corruption isn't really that interesting. They both get an "F." Depending on the issue or manner, one may be more corrupt than the other, but the exact taxonomy isn't that interesting, nor does it change the fact that they're both full of crooks and liars.

If Jeb Bush is the subject of your interest, you'll find me in complete agreeance with what you've iterated. They can flush Jeb, Curious George, and George Sr down the toilet with the rest of the human waste.

Both parties practice forms of legalized bribery, as you called it. Politics wouldn't be so competitive if it wasn't so lucrative a business.
Hillary has raised $314,000,000 in her quest to be President.
Jeb Bush raised $160,000,000 in his quest to be President.

Just imagine if that money was used for something more meaningful than making already rich people even richer.

Would you like me to create a special thread just for you, where I attack Republicans, so you feel better?

"Attack" is the operative word here. A pathological tendency for the paranoid, like anger and bitterness. Just guessing, but the other common denominator here likely is big city states with political machines which themselves are prone to corruption. Red states excel in poor education, obesity, sexual deviates and, of course, paranoia.

Get serious. Trying to pick the most dishonest politician is like trying to pick the worst stink. The worst isn't the issue but not a one would qualify as perfume.

Politicians lie. Some are worse than others. Democrats like Clinton, Reid, and Trump not only lie but they're proud of it.

This is the worst spin attempt I've ever seen. Full of the very paranoia, anger, and bitterness that you're accusing red states of having.

Don't know if the poster's statistics are accurate but assuming they are why is it spin to suggest the explanation might lie in the machine nature of politics in big city states rather than in some latent personality defect in Democrats?

And it is factually true, sad to say, that red states do have the poorest public education, the highest obesity rates, the most militia organizations. If it is fair to extrapolate on a per capita basis, Red states also win on sexual deviates based on the comparative number of exposed Republican politicians. As for paranoia, with its attendant conspiracy theories, this is a known characteristic of the Right, most at home in red states.

Would yankintx like to start his own thread or is he tasked with derailing a thread about Hillary and the Democrats. I realize some liberals have an obsession with sex so yankintx could start a thread with President Clinton.
