The Democratic Party is battling scandals from New York to San Diego and from city hall to Capitol Hill, as the party finds itself on the defensive over embarrassing lapses ranging from sexual misconduct to multiple scandals ensnaring the Obama administration.
President Obama on Wednesday denounced what he called “phony scandals” and “an endless parade of distractions” blocking progress on the economy and other issues, but critics say the controversies underscore the missed opportunities for the president and his party to live up to pledges to clean up politics and break traditional patterns of money, influence and privilege in government.
What this tells us is simple: Democrats feel perfectly entitled to be low-life weasel scoundrels when they're in power, and hypocritically accuse Republicans of the same when they're not.
Too bad so many people who vote for them also excuse their bad behavior and illegal deeds... the end result is a corrupted system that descends further down into the miasma of ruination.
