Reply #3: All I know is that power can corrupt... [View All]

What party a person belongs to doesn't really mean much in this matter, we are talking about judging a person's CHARACTER, not their political positions. Some people are more corruptible than others, Nixon is an obvious example, and Ford is another, along with Reagan and Bush the Elder and Bush the Lesser. Whether or not them being Republicans affected their individual power grabs is not the point. Always be suspicious of elected officials, for Democracy only works with a wary electorate, the LAST thing we need is partisan complacency.
