As I pointed out to you, your link was a list of media events, not a list of corrupt practices. I really have no interest in a general Democrat vs. Republican discussion, as I think one is only marginally better than the other. Our system is broken, and it breeds, if not corruption, behavior that is bad for the nation. Specifically, GWB was the most corruption free presidency in my lifetime, and Obama's to date, has been (by a very wide margin) the most corrupt in my lifetime and perhaps in the nation's history. While my long-held view that liberalism breeds political corruption stands, I don't have any interest in pitting one shitty party against another shitty party.

Here you go, CJ. This has to be one of the most ironic lines I've heard in a while: "What's not to like?" said Detroit resident and long time Food Stamp recipient Maureen Maya Pockets, who lost her job when the tool and die company she worked for moved to South Carolina after suffering a protracted strike. "I only make $4 an hour now, under the table with no benefits, working as a hired construction site picketer for the United Brotherhood of Carpenters. Without those EBT payments I couldn't do my part." Yep. Those unions are friends of the working man. http://cei.org/op-eds-articles/federal-judge-rules-food-stamp-recipients-can-unionize
