Republicans sinking in Sleaze
Just as long no1 is getting a BJ while being a democrat, then everythings is fine...Right
A decade ago Newt Gingrich's republican revolutionaries seized control of CONgress after 40yrs of democrat rule by promising to end the culture of graft and corruption on capitol hill.
Today, after a string of indictment, scandals and criminal investigation that threaten to implicate dozens of politicians next year, the tables have turned full circle, it is now Bu*h's republicans who are seen as the party of sleaze.

Since the summer, leading republicans have been hit by a steady stream of scandals.
In September Tom Delay, one of the the most power politicians in america, had to step down as leader of the House Of Repersentatives after being indicted for violating election finance laws
Bill Frist, the republican leader of the senate, is also under investigation over insider trading allegations involving the sale of his stock in a healthcare company(Correct me if im wrong but wasnt this the same charge that landed Martha Stewart in prison- insider trading).

Meanwhile, Randy Cunningham resigned from the House Of Repersentatives 2 weeks ago in one of the most spectacular cases of political corruption in recent years..
