I wonder if there has ever been an elected government with political parties that was not filled with corruption?

That's a good question. I guess it's one thing to have one rotten egg. (nixon?), but that whole city is corrupt from stem to stern. I suppose a third party would be nice, but it seems like that just guarantees one party rule, because it splits the opposing party. (see Perot, Nader) Any whoo, I think this trial will expose what absolute one party rule gives us. IMO, some of the principles behind the Constitution were to prevent absolute rule by one group.
