If you didn't think the Republican party represented these things you weren't paying attention.

Or possibly you weren't paying attention to:
unfettered (and illegal) phone tapping--Clinton, Jimmy Carter
pay-for-play lobbyists-- Abramoff-associated entities gave money to 40 of the 44 Democratic senators.
gross incompetence (think Katrina or the prescription medicine plan)--Kathleen Blanco, Ray Nagin.
Congress. and most of politics have been a cesspool for decades. Your sudden interest in scandals from only one party isn't even worthy to be called "spin."
Do you have a suggestion for cleaning up politics that applies to ALL dishonest elected officials, or are you simply proposing to kick out every Republican?
Never mind--I already know the answer.
