Do you think a Tea Party candidate would magically be free from such potential ethical issues? Politicians are politicians. Just because someone labels themselves a member of the Tea Party doesn’t mean they don’t have the potential for skimming from the till.
True enough. My point is that the GOP-e has such disdain for Wacko-birds aka conservatives, yet they might be in the market for some true conservatives in order to refresh their GOP brand. It was mostly a snarky comment though, as they're thick as thieves -- protecting their power and privilege.
What you say is true.
How to find truly ethical people is certainly a challenge and historically has always been a challenge. This is universal, we in the USA assume our corrupt politicians are unique. In comparison our’s are mostly little Angels.
