Corruption creep in GOP
By Bruce Bartlett
November 30, 2005
One of the most important political developments in America is the creeping corruption of the Republican Party. Increasingly, there is little meaningful difference between Republicans in Congress and the Democrats they replaced a little more than 10 years ago. Unless they clean up their act fast, Republicans will suffer major losses in next year's congressional elections.
There is no question Democrats became deeply corrupt in the 40 years after 1954 when they controlled the House of Representatives continuously. Everyone knew it, just as everyone knows the truth of Lord Acton's famous maxim: "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely." That is why the House bank scandal involving bounced checks was so politically potent: Average people could relate to how it exemplified petty Democratic corruption.
