Host,

The problem with your thesis is that this is a case of Democrats finding and exposing corruption among Republicans, their nominal opponents. Back during the Clinton Regime, the Republicans were finding and exposing tonnes of similar corruption by Democrats (campeign fundraising, tech sales to China either directly or via Israel, etc). When the Dems start rooting out the corruption and abuse of power in their own ranks, I'll believe there's some difference between the parties.

Meantime, both parties continue to wage aggressive wars abroad and tighten restrictions on Civil Liberties in the US. Both parties advance the agenda of Victim Disarmament. Both parties borrow titanic sums of money which they leave it to future generations to repay. Both parties have stood by silent (or even cheering encouragement) as a debt-driven real-estate market has bubbled...and burst.

When one of the major parties disavows and works to change the above, I will believe there is a difference between the two. Until then, no sale.
