at the State or Local Levels : Corrupt state and local Republican politicos: Gay sex scandal rocks Spokane By Chris McGann and Kathy Mulady Seattle Post-Intelligencer reporters Friday, May 6, 2005 Spokane Mayor Jim West, who championed an anti-gay agenda during his tenure as one of the most powerful Republicans in the Legislature, admitted to using the trappings of his current office to entice what he thought was a young adult man, but denied allegations that he molested two young boys more than 20 years ago. West confirmed to The Spokesman-Review of Spokane that he offered gifts, favors and a City Hall internship during Internet chats with a man he believed was 18. The online pen pal was actually a forensic computer expert working for the newspaper. After the story hit the newsstands yesterday, West sent city staffers a remorseful e-mail. . . In more than 20 years in the Legislature, West had initiated legislation to outlaw sexual contact between consenting teenagers; supported a bill that would have barred gays and lesbians from working for schools, day care centers and some state agencies; voted to define marriage as a union between a man and a woman; and, as Senate majority leader, allowed a bill that would ban discrimination against gays and lesbians to die in committee without a hearing. As Spokane mayor, West threatened to veto a measure extending benefits to domestic partners of city employees." will face a minimum of 10 years in state prison"

"West Virginia state mining officials concluded Thursday that a fatal mine accident in January could have been prevented, placing blame on a huge coal company run by one of the country's biggest Republican donors, Don Blankenship, the chairman, CEO and president of the Massey Energy Company of Richmond, Va. |
The outstanding reporter and web-publisher, Wayne Masden, took the novel approach of covering the nationwide Republican scandals state by state in this excellent table : |

Instead of going to prison, Republican politicians become conservative gurus on Radio or TV:
The New York Times published an article, Friendship and Business Blur in the World of a Media Baron about the Englishman (Canadian?) Lord Conrad Black, who has paid huge sums of money to "consultants" for one or two day attendance at annual conferences he has hosted for years. "Mr. Will could not recall how many meetings he attended; an aide later confirmed that the per diem for each meeting was $25,000. . . Mr. Buckley estimated that he had earned perhaps $200,000 or more. " Yet "honest Abe" Buckley wrote, in a letter to the New York Times defending Black : "You are entitled to ask how I presume to write with ostensible authority. I write because I have known Conrad Black for 15 years." And Buckley concludes: "Since your mind inclines in that direction, hear this: he (Lord Black) has never donated a nickel to any of my enterprises." In contrast to the vast majority of African American leaders who view today's Republican Party as inimical to the interests of the the vast majority of African Americans, there are a few exceptions. Some of these may be sincere, but here are others who have turned out to be shameful black Republican leaders. |

See a whole page of the LATEST Republican corruption (2007)|. For much, much more about the connections of the whole Republican Party with the Nazis of Europe before, during and after World War II, to this day, see www.spiritone.com/~gdy52150/noon.html. For the residence of particular states, there are some excellent blogs which document the corruption of Republicans within their own state, such as the outstanding Connecticut's Worst Republican legislators. In response to an ignorant defender of Republicans, who wrote to criticize my support of Democrats over Republicans on the morality front, I did a little research and sent her this response based on what I found : You are so uninformed, that it is scary! You say that "Judging by the low morals of Democrats (as demonstrated by the devotion to libs shown by the degenerate Hollywood crowd), I'm sure there is plenty of dirt to dig up on Democrats." Which party thinks so highly of "the degenerate Hollywood crowd" that it selects them to run for and to fill high offices on its behalf? In contrast to the Greedy Old Party, the only Hollywood actors the Democratic Party has tapped to run for high office on their behalf, have been: |
( Coulter would obviously like to be among those doing the killing of college liberals. But she is totally oblivious of the fact that the Taliban which Walker joined are ultra-conservatives who hate the United States for being such a symbol of liberalism! I trust that she is likewise ignorant of the fact that John (whose last name is Lindh, and whose middle name is the same as George W. Bush's), joined the Taliban at the very time the the U. S. A. had given the Taliban government of Afghanistan 43 million dollars. If John Lindh was an enemy of the U.S. for helping the Taliban at that time, then so was George W. Bush. Thank Mammon for "Christians" like Coulter! When asked where she worshipped, Coulter answered "Redeemer Presbyterian Church", in Manhattan. Funny, but the membership secretary of that church has no knowledge of Ann Coulter EVER having attended her church! conservative "Christians", however, view Ms. Coulter as an authority on Christianity.) Here's the best exposé on David Horowitz that I know of. and Answers to Republican propagandists like Sean Hannity's and Bill O'Reilly : http://www.americanprogress.org/site/pp.asp?c=biJRJ8OVF&b=91585 & SeanHannityEvildoer.com & BillOReillyConman.com When Republicans say they aren't truly trying to get rid of Social Security, along with the rest of the New Deal, ask them what their flamboyant spokeswoman meant when she said, "I think we had enough laws about the turn-of-the-century (1901). We don't need any more." Asked how far back would she go to repeal laws, she replied, "Well, before the New Deal. . . would be a good start." – Politically Incorrect May 7, 1997 [ F.D.R.'s fascist enemies surely didn't have Jesus in mind when they referred to his "New Deal" as "the Jew Deal", but perhaps there was more truth in that name than they knew, since the "New Testament" is just another way of saying "New Deal"]. and "It would be a much better country if women did not vote". "Should any political party attempt to abolish Social Security, Unemployment Insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history. There is a tiny splinter group, of course, that believes you can do these things. Among them are [a] few other Texas oil millionaires, and an occasional politician or business man from other areas. Their number is negligible and they are stupid." - President Dwight D. Eisenhower, 11/8/54 [ a "quote of the year" dug up by David Sirota, Air America talk show host. ]. |
| Nations with the least corrupt governments: Funny how the world's more liberal countries tend to be the ones with the least corruption !
and the more "holier than thou" they are
(conservative, and Catholic, for example),
On the world scene here's the breakdown on which countries have more and which have less corruption: nationmaster.com/graph/gov_cor-government-corruption/AFR. Notice how much better less religious "socialist" countries rate as opposed to pious, conservative ones do.
