^^ ie: Federal Prosecutors scandal that led to the the resignation of the AG of the US
Ensign Scandal (which is just developing really)
Blackwater - executives have been formally charged at this point
Financial Deregulation by Republicans that led to the financial crisis
Show me a single Democratic scandal that is even close to any of these... I can only think of a couple of a blowjob, some bribery cases, hookers and closet gay congressmen and the Republicans had all of those too.

If you notice, most of those are bolded, because your facts aren't actually facts. LOL@Republicans causing financial crisis. Oh no not Abramoff! How could I raise my kids knowing what he did. I guess he represents the whole REpublican party. By your logic, Democrats are wife cheating pimps. Just when I think you're intelligent, you come up with all of this nonsense, MOST of which could be debated, and others can be disqualified as inaccurate. I really don't need to find each Democratic scandal because I'll be searching for hours, and I'd be ignorant to say "I don't follow this party because one guy cheated on his wife and one guy cheated the citizens!" Next thing you're going to tell me, you can't raise your kids properly because the government lies and cheats.
Furthermore, you haven't exactly clarified why you were a Democrat or a liberal. If you want to maintain a serious debate, you don't start throwing out reasons why you're not something.
