Politicians and statesmen that participate in corruption hurt their friends and help their enemies. Members that are corrupt wound their own party and the nation but provide comfort to the opposition. What really assists the other party is when the guilty claim that they are being singled out because of partisan persecution.

When Jim Wright and Dan Rostenkowski were looting the national treasury, they screwed the nation and the Democrat party and the entire Democrat cause. When they said they were only being persecuted out of partisanship, they hurt any Democrat who really was being targeted for purely partisan reasons. Since these men were associated with Democrat causes they irreparably harmed such causes. It was their corruption that I believe that lead to the Republican takeover. A great many honest Democrats lost their seats because of what these guys did. When Democrats in Congress were being subject to purely partisan attacks, no one believed they were because Rostenkowski and Wright had already cried wolf. Dan and Jim assisted the Republican party and the Republican cause more than almost any Republican during their time by handing the Congress to the Republicans.

On the flip side, these Republicans today that have associated themselves with Abramoff have helped the Democrat party more than any Democrat possibly could. Every time these guys like Delay, who claims that they are being persecuted out of a partisan vendetta, screams persecution, they are providing future cover for all future real partisan vendettas against Republicans. These corrupt Republicans are associating Republican causes, such as limited government, tax cuts, a strong defense, free trade etc, with corruption and therefore are preventing these policies from being implemented. Delay, Pombo, Doolittle etc, are doing what the Democrats could not do themselves, they are hamstringing the Republican revolution. And they may implement what the Democrats could only dream of but could never achieve on their own, Democrat control of the Congress.

Delay, Pombo, Doolittle, Abramoff etc, are the true champions of the Democrat party and of liberal causes.

Thanks guys.

You know, the adjective is "Democratic."

The proper use of grammar in this country has declined considerably over the last few years. It's sad, really.
