Another unethical policitian....no way?

Democratic Congressional candidate with suspect expense account

Democrat congressional candidate Mike Arcuri, while serving as district attorney of Oneida County, N.Y., has billed taxpayers for several questionable expenses, including a call to a phone-sex hotline, according to records obtained by HumanEvents.com.Arcuri, running in New York’s 24th District against Republican Ray Meier, has spent the past 12 years as Oneida County’s district attorney. During that period, his annual expense reimbursements have skyrocketed. From 1998 to 2005, they increased nearly 7,000%....click link for more

Hmmm...seems like we have a recurring theme. Yet, it's the Republicans who have ethical issues.

There are certainly sinners in both camps. I don't think you want to start defending Republicans based on one bad Dem. I could be wrong, but I'd bet there have been more big name Republicans facing legal problems this last couple of years than Dems (Fletcher, Ney, Alaska's Governor, Foley, Abramoff, Delay, Frist, Cunningham, Noe... am I missing others?).

The Dems have their problems and it's still true that power corrupts, but it seems that the Republicans have an especially bad culture of corruption problem. They ARE having troubles with ethical issues.
