From the Democratic Party Platform of 1928: Republican Corruption Unblushingly the Republican Party offers as its record agriculture prostrate, industry depressed, American shipping destroyed, workmen without employment; everywhere disgust and suspicion, and corruption unpunished and unafraid. Never in the entire history of the country has there occurred in any given period of time or, indeed, in all time put together, such a spectacle of sordid corruption and unabashed rascality as that which has characterized the administration of federal affairs under eight blighting years of Republican rule. Not the revels of reconstruction, nor all the compounded frauds succeeding that evil era, have approached in sheer audacity the shocking thieveries and startling depravities of officials high and low in the public service at Washington. From cabinet ministers, with their treasonable crimes, to the cheap vendors of official patronage, from the purchasers of seats in the United States Senate to the vulgar grafters upon alien trust funds, and upon the hospital resources of the disabled veterans of the World War; from the givers and receivers of stolen funds for Republican campaign purposes to the public men who sat by silently consenting and never revealing a fact or uttering a word in condemnation, the whole official organization under Republican rule has become saturated with dishonesty defiant of public opinion and actuated only by a partisan desire to perpetuate its control of the government. As in the time of Samuel J. Tilden, from whom the presidency was stolen, the watchword of the day should be: "Turn the rascals out." This is the appeal of the Democratic Party to the people of the country. To this fixed purpose should be devoted every effort and applied every resource of the party; to this end every minor difference on non-essential issues should be put aside and a determined and a united fight be made to rescue the government from those who have betrayed their trust by disgracing it. |

Reading what Democrats had to say about Republican corruption in 1928 leaves few differences to what we see now in 2007. There has been an astonishing amount of scandal, corruption and cronyism in the Bush Administration, with the last 7 years being the worst in our Nation's history. Things may have been this bad before, as was written in 1928. A simple saying is important to remember right about now, that it's always darkest before dawn. -

Enjoyed reading your BLOG today. I have spent many years now questioning the corruptions in Washington...By mere accident while researching this topic and it led me to Samuel Tilden's 1876 Presidential race...where the media discovered through their newspapers the power of their headlines...and used it to overthrow a Presidency...The book, "Samuel Tilden the Real 19th President" explains in detail exactly how it was accomplished. Tilden's biggest fear was that this corruption would spread nationwide...but he also stated,"When the People Rise the System Gets Cleansed"...
Thank you for blogging on this topic...I am hoping many others will do the same.

I agree with you in toto. One of the greatest threat to the survivability of America is the free press that distorts news and excel in brainwashing and inciting Americans so as to generate publicity which is how they make money with their evil news.
