The main difference is that Democrats don't seem to get indited when they commit crimes such as Chris Dodd, or Charlie Rangle but even if they do, they don't resign. Then, even if they are indited and convicted, they come out, run again and get re-elected anyway. Besides, there is much less tolerance for malfeasance in the Republican Party. Democrats get clean away with behavior that the Republicans would never stand for.
So it is really not a fair question.
