Given the Republican corruption scandals of the last couple of years...

It's just one republican scandal after another. Is it something genetic? Are the right wing nuts just predestined to continuously lie every step of the way merely for their own personal gain at the expense of the American people? ... duhhhh!!! Sure does look like they're doing everything they can to prove it.. and cover it up.

Here is one more corrupt republican scandalous story to add to our collection.

"Given the Republican corruption scandals of the last couple of years it’s easy to get inured to the seriousness of the controversies.
