You can cite examples of both sides but in doing some reading it seems that the Democrat's 'infractions' tend to be viewed more as sleazy or corrupt then the Republican's 'infractions'.I found the following article rather humorous and figured you'd like it.

Correct. But there is one more element -- Democrats' infractions tend to be more frequent.

This is not amazing to me, as Democrats may not view their actions as inappropriate. For example, in the 2000 election there were reports of senile nursing home patients being "coached" by their Democrat caregivers. Crossing the line, but just "barely". It probably doesn't matter. These people "needed" help voting, as they couldn't do it by themselves.

The NJ situation this year is another example. I can imagine that Democrats actually DON'T see anything wrong with what they did. Republicans DO see it as sleezy, however. The same thing is developing in Minnesota, but it will probably be done in at least a legal way. In NJ, it was totally clear the law was broken.

So I suppose we can argue about whether the Democrats are generally more sleezy (I know that the SLEEZIEST politician ever to walk the earth is a Democrat).
