absolute power corrupts absolutely

[Lerkfish]

Just wanted to remind everyone of that.

look at how corrupt republicans are NOW. Just wait until the completely "dissassemble" the apparatus to keep them in check.

1. Wrong.

It only magnifies what is already there.

The repukes were corrupt long before they got any power.

2. It happens all the time...

That's one thing for sure.

3. What's amazing is how silent they are....

The DNC democrats my god.....Where is Senator Lautenberg and everyone else!?!???

Do we have this many DINOs in charge of this ridiculous democratic party who claims to be democrats? Why don't they stand up? Why don't they oppose them? Why is it only Boxer, Conyers, and Reid and so on?

Where is the non-collusion? Absolute corruption corrupts them from the inside out. They are far worse for just sitting by and letting these neocons go along.... :banghead:

What is this? Were they paid off, my god? Were their families threatened? Do they just simply not care?

4. True.

It not only magnifies what is already there. It removes all restraints. The distinction is significant.

5. right. its the removal of checks and balances that is the most troubling.

we always knew republicans were corrupt, but unfettered corruption only becomes more virulent.

what happens when they control the entire judicial branch? can they ever be charge or convicted of a crime?...just as an example.
