Corruption and Democrats

Blogger Joe Monahan reports on a survey of Democrats, link.

A poll of 400 registered Democrats conducted last week ranked jobs as far and away the #1 issue on their minds. 41% said that was their primary concern. Government corruption ranked third with only 8% citing it as their top issue. Education came in second with 27% and the environment was fourth with 8% calling that their number one issue.


Normally I try not to use global terms to argue specific issues. But it does seem to me that Democrats are more likely to enable corruption than Republicans are. Democrats seem more willing to accept "that's the way it's done in New Mexico" as justification for doing unethical, and even illegal things.

Democrats are prepared apparently, to re-elect the same people who have presided over what could be the most corrupt and incompetent administration in state history.

Complicit, complacent, or what, exactly?
