party platform

The Republican Party is imploding because of corruption. Their corruption has already sent Randy Cunningham to jail and forced the resignation of Tom DeLay and Mark Foley. In Ohio and Missouri and Kentucky their corruption is shocking. And voters are tired of it.

The Republicans try to cover up their corruption, lying for eachother. They even protected a sexual predator for six years! When faced with corruption in their ranks, Republicans lie and cover their tracks. Their final defense is to whine pitifully, "but the Democrats do it too!"

Well, Democrats have indeed been known to be corrupt. But there are differences. Here in Brooklyn, for example, there is a strong movement WITHIN the Democratic Party to reform the local, corrupt party. While Republicans whine and lie to protect their most corrupt members, here in Brooklyn a Democratic DA has sent corrupt Democrats to jail. I have joined many Democrats in calling for the resignation of William Jefferson, a Democratic Congressman caught red handed taking bribes. You don't see Democrats whining that Republicans do it too so it's okay for us to do it, do you? No. We attack Republican corruption and on the rare occasions it comes up we attack Democratic corruption as well. I see no comparable reform movement within the Republican Party. All I see are more lies, more sleaze and more greed. All I see are Republicans and companies like Halliburton and Exxon and Enron in an orgy of greed and profit, looting America and sacrificing American troops for profit.
