Imagine the POTUS involved in a scheme to send federal money to Texas where that money is given to contractors for the sole reason to kick it back into the Republican party coffers to help get Tom Delay elected.
What do you think would happen next in the USA?
Republicans might become a footnote in history. The whole party would be tainted, and political poison for some time at the very minimum.
If it were the GOP committing the crime, as DG said they would be gone. But if it were the Dems accepting, even soliciting, money from ChiComs and Indonesian corporate interests then selling out American security and business, well that's a different story. The Left is frightening to behold, whether Communist, Fascist, "progressive" or "liberal" it is a philosophy of tyranny.
