DU Homework: Form a sentence including the phrase "Culture of Corruption."
I'll go first:

Bill Frist epitomizes members of Republican leadership spreading a dangerous culture of corruption throughout Washington and this country.

:)

(I'll send the best ones to my Senators Durbin and Obama.)

1. With the DeLay indictment, the Frist probe, and Abramoff,
it looks like the Republican "Culture of Corruption" may finally get exposed to the American public.

2. I had a sore throat...
and my doctor took a culture of corruption to see if I had strep.

3. Republican culture of corruption
The culture of corruption
was corrupted irrevocably
in to a chaotic ruin,
elevated in mathematical
accounting to appear substantial;
a vapourous accounting sum
underwritten by nothing but lies.

5. Here's mine
The indictment of Tom Delay is just the latest in an ongoing series of indictments and convictions that serves as a confirmation of the culture of corruption sponsored by the republican party.

6. Republican leaders introduced and expanded the culture of corruption.
The financial interests of corporations are persistently favored over the interests of the American people.

8. Its a meta-culture of corruption
Not only is it a culture of corruption, but the institutions
themselves breed the continuation of that corruption, genetically,
like termites rotting out a great house.

9. NO MORE CHAMPAGNE AND OYSTERS ON THE POTOMAC!
the arrogant washington republicans have become drunk with power, are out of touch with the needs of struggling americans and have maliciously spread a dangerous culture of corruption and cronyism where we need honesty, integrity and now accountability.

bit wordy i know...lots to get in there.

12. No, the republican culture of corruption is endemic...
and will cause them to lose power, dwindling in to irrelevance.

15. Wall Street was the petri dish for that greedy culture of corruption
and dumping that worthless stock, was just what the doctor ordered.

16. Sung to tune of "If I only had a brain"
Oh The Culture of Corruption
Was founded in Construction
That's where big money reigns.

KBR, Halliburton,
The Bin Ladens,
Yes It's certain
They are huge financial drains.

Oh, I
Can't tell you why
They steal and loot and cheat.
It's something they historically repeat!
On every dime,
The public treats!

Blow it up
To just rebuild it
Big money if' you're skilled, it
Is our biggest pain.

KBR, Halliburton,
The Bin Ladens,
Yes It's certain
They are huge financial drains.

21. I posted this on a Colorado thread. It was in the middle of the paragraph
Fawcett could do quite well. He may not win. But for now, he just needs to follow in Hackett's footsteps. He WILL get votes.

The more the Republican culture of corruption is revealed the more that works against any Republican in office.

Hefley is not invincible. And he may not even run. He understands that DeLay has all but ruined the Republican party. His party, as it once was, is long gone.

22. That's great!
It's wonderful to see how we all are incorporating this into our every-day discussion.

Very soon, it will be mainstream!

23. Let's see how much I can pack in...
Drunk with imperial hubris, the ruling party willingly failed to restrain its intelligently designed culture of corruption from escaping the inadequate containment of a social laboratory swimming in toxic soup and, like the sorcerer's apprentice, now finds itself woefully short of buckets with which to bail itself out.

24. A culture of corruption surrounded the lie...
that we are going to live forever,
when the truth that temporal experience is but a short blur
on the tail of the dragon of ruinous death
haunts the inevitable silence of judgement day.

Edited on Fri Sep-30-05 09:31 AM by SuffragetteSal

P.S. I don't attend that church any longer

30. g.w. bush made possible what is contemporaneously referred to as...
the "culture of corruption"; an adjunct expression predicated upon his other such ad hoc notions as his: 'culture of life', what is in reality a 'culture of death', 'cultural of perpetual war', 'culture of cronyism', 'culture of utter american failure & ruin @ the hands of the bfee' and so on...
