GOP "Culture of Corruption"
Howard Dean's new meme for Democrats is referring to a rethug "Culture of Corruption.

I like it.

Use Culture of Corruption in a sentence or DU post!

As in: B*sh fell off his bike again due to the Republican "Culture of Corruption."

5. Lotta states have caught it.
The only vaccine against a culture of corruption is fair, and honest paper voting, and tranparent, witnessed, vote counts.

6. Obviously
the Culture of Corruption needs to be countered with an "Oath of Good Government."

8. We need some catch phrases
The right are so good at inventing them. If I hear "culture of life" one more time, I'm gonna hurl.

9. Try these on
From a post I made the other day...

Changing the dialogue

Tax-relief vs. Intelligent Taxation: “Use our taxes to help our neighbors, not hurt them.”

War on Terror vs. Criminal Prosecution: “Target terrorists, not innocent people.”

War on Drugs vs. Harm Reduction: “Save our police and prisons for killers, rapists, and thugs.”

Pro-Choice vs. Personal Liberty: “REAL Americans don’t surrender their bodies to their government.”

Liberal Media vs. Corporate Media: “A press that supports Corporate America over Citizen America is NOT a liberal media.”

Patriotism vs. Nationalism: "Nationalism argues that America can do no wrong. Patriotism is pointing out where it IS doing wrong."

Gun control vs. Firearm Safety: "Ensure safe and responsible gun ownership."

Outsourcing vs. Slave Labor. “Stealing jobs from Americans to exploit foreign workers is NOT a moral value.”

11. No, "Oath of Good Government." sounds Canadian
It'll never work in America. Not snazzy enough.

Culture of Corruption perched on the shoulders of an ethical dilemma

13. And most Americans know this?
Uh-uh. Not at all.

Most Americans are barely able to grasp their OWN politics--forget about somewhere else.

They understand the words "Oath" and "Good Government." That's good enough.
