Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
Need proof?
Republican control of both the executive and legislative branches of national government—and GOP efforts to influence the judicial branch—has spawned arrogant abuses of power.
How can the Republicans campaign in the future as fiscal conservatives and advocates of limited government after they fuel a monstrous national deficit and sponsor the biggest pork legislation in America’s history?
How can the Republicans maintain their holier-than-thou persona when top GOP congressional leaders and white House advisers allegedly engage in patently illegal activities?
All politicians by nature are hypocritical sons of bitches interested only in getting re-elected.
Voters frequently are forced to support the lesser of two evils.
Is that any way to run a democracy? (23 OCTOBER 2005)
