The newly release tapes of President Richard Nixon proves that key Republicans and majority of their base is paranoid and self-centered. What are they scared of?

I agree with Carl Bernstein that there should be a new field of study to deal with the psycho-biography of our leaders. Maybe this will help the public see if a person is stable enough to become our leader before they are elected.

Evil usually is. Think about it, How many times have we heard all these fire and brim stones preachers call for everybody but themselves to repent, only to later catch them with some whore, boy, or their hand in the offering basket?

It never changes...ever.

Evil, corruption etc is random, ubiquitous. It has no party, religious, non-religious or ideological boundaries.

^^ Exactly!

Power corrupts....and absolute Power, corrupts absolutely. This is neither a Democratic or Republican issue.

Because after the 2000 and 2004 elections, Democrats weren't trying to think of ways to carelessly get our armed forces into an ill-advised war with Iraq. Most Republicans since Nixon have always thought of ways of starting or continuing a war, especially wars that has no interest to the United States other than the small group of companies that would profit from these wars.

I referenced the 2002 mid-term elections because that's when the Republicans gained full control of the Senate, thereby consolidating their power in all 3 branches of gov't.
