LBJ used taxpayer money to spy on Barry Goldwater in 1964.
That just proves my age old point regarding such matters. Everyone, of every ideology, from every party...has used your money to spy on the other guy. The difference? When Republicans do it, it's corruption. When Democrats do it, it's redemption.
While we're on that time period, Nixon did sabotage the peace talks right before the 1968 election, and that actually made the difference in that election.
Yeah, let's vote Republican now because Democrats may have been corrupt 42 years ago. Who cares that the Republicans were corrupt then and now?
Yeah, those corrupt bastards made deals with Abramoff, kept thousands of dollars in thier freezers, and tried to spin the whole thing on the other party..........wait...........
