And what's going to happen when there's a retaliatory round of raids and arrests on Republican offices and politicians? Are you going to blame it on some secret plan of Obama's to destroy the country? Neither party holds any kind of moral high ground because ALL the politicians are corrupt. Every. Last. Fucking. One.
Funny.
I believe Power corrupts.
And absolute power corrupts absolutely.
We had dimocrats ruling - virtually uninteruppted house, senate whitehouse from 1945 till 1980. With most of the beauracracy being created and staffed by democrats.
So since power corrupts, and there were more dims in power for longer. It seems to reason that for now we would expect more dimocrat corruption.
I mean really. California, New York, Illinois are entirely democratic fiefdoms. Not to mention chicago, Philadelphia, New York. Trenton. Washington DC city government.
I mean really - are there any republican machines currently like that .. anywhere? Maybe texas.
In the 1930s, James A. Farley was the chief dispenser of the Democratic Party's patronage system through the Postal Department and the Works Progress Administration
Smaller communities such as Parma, Ohio, in the post–Cold War Era under Prosecutor Bill Mason's "Good Old Boys" and especially communities in the Deep South, where small-town machine politics are relatively common, also feature what might be classified as political machines, although these organizations do not have the power and influence of the larger boss networks listed in this article. For example, the "Cracker Party" was a Democratic Party political machine that dominated city politics in Augusta, Georgia, for over half of the 20th century.[12][13][14][15] [16]
Tammany Hall
Cook County?
Huey Long
The Byrd organization
Boss Crump
Hell. If you look at the history of political machines in the US .. aren't they almost always dimocrat?
