UG...I suggest you start here:

A report on corruption investigations of members of the 109th Congress..the last Republican majority Congress:
Quote:
Below is a rundown of all 21 lawmakers, current and former. Ten of them are no longer in office. Investigations of seven are part of the Abramoff investigation. Seventeen are Republicans, four are Democrats.

You might also want to read about the K Street project.

The Grover Norquist/Tom DeLay/Karl Rove plan of influence peddling with the hope of creating a permanent Republican majority.

Kinda backfired on them after Abramoff's arrest and Tom DeLay's resignation from Congress under an ethical cloud.

The Washington Post had an article in 2005 on the growth of lobbyists during the years 2001-2004 when the Republicans controlled both the White House and Congress.
The Road to Riches is Called K Street

We can disagree on policy issues....but integrity? I think not!

Power corrupts...not party affiliation.

Please, show a little more objectivity.
