Corruption and politics
Corruption is the greatest threat to republicanism, and is a red flag for both parties in the U.S., even though both parties have been guilty.
In December 2008, the Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat, was arrested on corruption charges. He had attempted to sell Barack Obama's vacant senate seat to the highest bidder, and threatened to withhold funding from a children's hospital.[1]
