Joe Hill

Seems almost pathetic to report any more GOP corruption. To think so many Americans used to fanatically defend Republicanism. Not many will fess up to it now, claiming they were Libertarians all along.

Actually, this is good - it weeds out the curruption from within. Eventually, we will be back to the original party we started with. The ideals and philosophies have not changed, only the leaders that need adjustments.

Their time is coming.

Yeah and there is no such thing as left wing corruption.

To be fair, many of these Republicans that are jumping ship to Libertarianism are nothing but Authoritarian Conservatives that wont vote for McCain and believe the Constitution Party is too far right wing. Granted some have Libertarian leanings most are not.

This is the problem with American politics. A party's 'goodness' is not derived from its behavior. It is derived from how bad the other party is. With that kind of attitude, it's no wonder why our parties suck.

But of course, only Republicans embezzle and steal right? Is that what you are saying? If you would like, I can send you a long list of Democrat crooks starting with John Murtha's attempt to extract bribes from Federal agents.

There is a HUGE difference, however, between Republican Criminals and Democrat Criminals; Republican criminals are castigated from the party, sent to jail and lose their political positions; Democrats are hailed as heroes and given Committee Chairmanships.

Gotta love the hypocrisy and denial we constantly see from the left these days.

Except that the GOP is moving that direction as well. Vitter still has his job. Furthermore, the Democrats have at least some form of loyalty to their members. The GOP covers up the crimes and behaviors of its members for years only to throw them out when there is some evidence of pulling in other members, such as the Hastert cover up of Foley's behavior for YEARS.

Both parties are cancers. But you seem to refuse to acknowledge that your party is one of them.

Truth Detector

In order to make your statements correct, you need to state them such:

"IN MY OPINION, the GOP is moving that direction as well. Vitter still has his job. "

Again, the FACTS are not your friend if you want to debate criminality and attempt to make the pathetic argument that Republicans are corrupt.

Vitter still has his job because he has not been criminally prosecuted and found guilty. I am sure you still believe in the same constitutional protections one wants to give terrorists and enemy combatants apply to Vitter don't you? Or is this another DOUBLE standard that matches your political philosophy?
