Democrats and the Culture of Corruption – A Quick Review

The nice folks at Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) has compiled a list (.pdf) of Members of Congress who are under investigation… and it’s quite illuminating.

Here’s the names and party affiliations:

House of Representatives:

  • Sanford Bishop (D-GA)
  • Jesse Jackson, Jr (D-IL)
  • Jerry Lewis (R-CA)
  • Gary Miller (R-CA)
  • Allan Mollohan (D-WV)
  • Timothy Murphy (R-PA)
  • John Murtha (D-PA)
  • Charles Rangel (D-NY)
  • Linda Sanchez (D-CA)
  • Loretta Sanchez (D-CA)
  • Pete Visclosky (D-IN)
  • Don Young (R-AK)

Senate:

  • Roland Burris (D-IL)
  • Kent Conrad (D-ND)
  • Chris Dodd (D-CT)
  • Bob Menendez (D-NJ)

I’ve color-coded them to make it easier to distinguish.

By my count, that’s 12 Democrats, 4 Republicans. Or three Democrats under investigation for every Republican.

As I said before, perhaps those Democrats who really want to clean up the “culture of corruption” (if any truly exist) should start within their own party.

    Gee CW, there is a whole lot of blue in that list. Since the Dems have a powerful (although that power is waning) propaganda wing in leftist media outlets, it is made to appear the other way around. That’s one of the ways those who comprise the uninformed American public have been manipulated into voting for Democrats. Hope and change. Integrity and civility.
