Can you believe the corruption?

I like the part where he tried to defend himself saying we haven't heard the full story.  The FBI came back and said he was correct.  They have evidence he collected another $400,000 in a similar scheme, selling "access" to business opportunities in Africa.  Hey, is this the guy sending out those emails from Nigeria?\n\nAnother thing, his name was William Jefferson.  His last name wasn't Clinton was it?

The man presented solid evidence supporting what we all know to be true - the corruption of our government. Why is it that we allow this to continue. Why doesn't somebody pull them down to their knees. Has it always been that way. Is that why?\nWe can be that blink to what is happening now and what has happened in the past. This is frightening to think that we have ALL been had.

I don't think it's anymore corrupt than any other administration, especially the Clinton administration. People refuse to look back and see what Bush has had to deal with, terrorist attacks, many terrible natural disasters. He's had a lot of lack to pick up. I think you have to remember that when you look at what he's done in office.

Everyone is talking about that! Even on the View! I think it was just luck of the draw. If it happens not to be, then just another reason I don't trust our current administration!

Yes it is real, I am very sceptical about my country, South Africa and the corruption that goes on in here, but that bid is for real.

If they are corrupt, they might not need our acceptation. They figure everything among themselves and resolve everything, bribe, pay, buy, in order to make you think they're accepted. But they're not.

The only way for this to happen is for the citizens to stand up and make them accountable for thier crimes. If the people allow this to happen then it will continue. With the level of corruption being so deeply ingrained with these cultures is difficult to change them and can only happen from within.

Sure would clean up a lot of corruption if they followed that now wouldn't it?\n\nMan went away from God. That's where all the corruption comes from.\n\nIf we all followed the Bible correctly there would be a lot of harmony in this world.

Corruption seems to have become part of life EVERY WHERE! It is a shame that greed has taken root in sooo many.

Not sure of the question here, but...\n\nPolitics is corrupt?...well, no. But some POLITICIANS are certainly corrupt...in my personal opinion the current US administration is the most corrupt since the well documented corruption of the Nixon years.\n\nGROWING-UP nation as well?...what does THAT mean?\n\nIf you are implying that the governments of 3rd world countries have a worse reputation for corruption, well...yes.\nBut we are starting to see genuine 'peoples' leaders emerging in some countries. (Venezuela's Chavez is a good example.)\n\nChavez, since being elected, has, in a sense, "decorrupted" his country by returning ownership of the natural resources to the locals, rather than the US corporations that were raping and plundering the economy, sharing with a select few only.\n\nFor putting his people's needs above those of the multi-national (mostly US owned) corporations, Chavez has been subjected to a string of lies and abuse from the White House and its cronies, including the now famous quote from "Christian" Pat Robetson that "someone should assassinate him" (Chavez)\nSo much for "Thou shalt not kill", let alone "Do unto others"...in my opinion anyone who preaches violence toward any living human is NOT a man of God.\n\nHe even managed to survive a US backed coup attempt because the people came onto the streets in the hundreds of thousands and stood up to the army, and bravely persuaded them not to attack their own people to support rich foreigners...and amazingly, the army listened, for they could see themselves that Chavez is a good man, doing good for ALL the people of Venezuela, not just the elite.\n\nAnd THAT, is where I see "dignity implied"...where the 3rd world governments are standing up to the corruption imposed on them by their powerful and VERY corrupt neighbor to the north.\nHere are some links...just a few of the dozens available that tell more than I can here.

in fact, THIS is a seriously brilliant question.\n\nand the answer is: "HELL, NO!"\n\nthat was one of those completely sketchy, *highly* questionable deals. this is something that would not fly even in the most corrupt US court, as of today... \nwhich has got to tell ya somethin', doesn't it...

nearly impossible question to answer accurately unless you defined 'ehtical lapse' and then researched it over the past 200+ years.  I'd tend to say it is about even and there are definitely examples of corruption in both major parties.

This question has been asked before and the answer is still the same.\nWho is gonna objectively say that a government is too corrupt?  Or not enough?  Are tax incentives corrupt?  How about bailouts?  Who is tracking the money that DOESN'T get reported?\nPlease be specific.  Please be VERY specific.
