If graft and corruption are going to be the legacy of the Republican Party, it will probably drive most evangelicals out the party.In fact, the Republican Party in Orangeburg South Carolina is so inept and dysfunctional, it is an absolute embarassment.
Let's see...graft, corruption, ineptitude, dysfunctionality, the "Good Old Boy Political System" and more pork barrel political earmarks than any congress in American history.
Let's add more spending than the Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society". Runaway immigration, disfunctional government agencies, over 3,000 dead Americans in Iraq in a situation that is rapidly deteriorating, energy legislation that enriches "Big Oil", prescription drugs that enrich pharmaceutical companies, deplorable oversight of e-voting machines, unfair tax legislation, failed policies and programs all over Washington, DC and influence peddling.
Please give me a break about Nancy Pelosi and Charles Rangel. Let's get beyond political infighting and move to the next level. Our "Republican Leaders" are an absolute political embarrassment and we might as well call a spade a spade.
The primary reason why the press is harder on Republicans than Democrats is because they expect more from Republicans. They expect higher standards of morality, ethics, and higher standards of performance at every level of government. When Republicans succumb to base and vile political standards, they are no better than the Democrats who have been corrupt for years. In other words, Republicans are hypocrits and the press hammers that fact home.
