No, I'm pretty sure he's not.

Go on and name me any of the large scale corruption matters on the Democratic side. I'm pulling a blank.

Of course, most large corporations are de facto Republican supported, so that's not a fair standard I suppose. The banking industry leans Democrat supported. Lots of bad business there, but pretty much all of the corruption cases were on individuals, not corporations.

The Telecom industry is heavily Democrat supported. I can't think of any corruption scandals there. I believe those are the two industries more supported by the Dem party than the Republican.


On the political side, sorry but again all the big corruption scandals seem to be on the Republican side. I've got to be missing something, because I'm sure the Dems are not averse to corruption. But examples??? I'm again drawing a blank.
