Degrees of Corruption

I think we should tag certain Republicans with their degree of corruption. The special notation would be determined by the amount of money/trips they've taken from lobbyists, and if they've adjusted their votes to satisfy lobbyists instead of constituents.

Rep. Tom DeLay******
Rep. Duke Cunningham*****
Rep. Bob Ney*****
Gov. Bob Taft****
Rep. Roy Blunt *****
Rep. John $ Boehner *****
Sen. Conrad Burns*****
Rep. Pombo****
Sen. Rick Santorum****
Rep. Jim Gerlach****
Sen. Bill Frist****

Notation:
***** over the top corrupt
****very corrupt
***corrupt
**corrupt tendencies
*slightly corrupt

Unfortunately, at this time, my list of corrupt elected officials is short, but I may add more in the future. If you aren't sure what they've done to be corrupt, Google their name with the word corrupt. This Googling activity should keep you busy for a couple of hours. Also, just in case you think that the Republicans are actually reforming, let me direct you here. You'll note that they are STILL bringing in the money from PACs and lobbyists.
