1. Why are so many republicons corrupt?

Is corruption one of their republicon 'family values,' like clandestine diaper sex with hookers?

2. Good thing I read the article
I had been thinking "why is it good thing to have cell phone towers on your property?" Around here the phone companies have a hell of a time getting a property owner to agree to put one up on his land and convincing the neighbors that it is a good thing. Probably fucks up your TV reception, gives you cancer and a lot of other things we don't even know about yet.

Then I read that the fair Cindy had actually requested this favor in order to improve cell service to her property and the phone companies complied.

Yep, it smells pretty bad.

4. I think it is because Republicans have a hard time letting go of their money...
while Democrats are more caring, generous and have a conscience. Republicans give if they believe they will get more back in return and believe they are entitled.

If a Republican is offered a "good deal" under the table which isn't going to cost them anything and, in effect, will increase their wealth, they'll grab it. Unfortunately, that becomes a habit and feels good. As they pile on their worth and get by with their white-collar crime, they accept the next good deal, and the next until it becomes a normal part of their life.

Greed will do that.
