Not sure what is meant here by "corrupt". Since Watergate is mentioned and correlation with the current scandals is implied, I presume we are talking about the corruption/abuse of executive power. Which is a perfectly bipartisan failing. One can object that the more libertarian Republicans attempt to reduce this corruption by shrinking the field of executive power, but they were not numerous or influential enough to make a lot of difference, not in the recent decades.
If "corruption" means the old good graft, the Dems are ahead, but that has more to do with political demographics than any ideological differences. Democratic pols are more likely to lord over vulnerable communities, to be in touch with less savory elements of the unions, etc.

With the recent focus on data mining of Americans, many are making comparisons to the Nixon era Watergate scandal. In fact, it seems any political scandal involving the White House typically gets the suffix "-gate" added to the name often by whichever political party is the opposition to the White House at the time in order to associate the scandal with Watergate. I'm listening to a talk radio show right now chronicling the details of Watergate and its making me think, which of the two major parties has a greater level of corrupt tendencies in its culture, DNA and history?
I hope this doesn't come across as implying either party overwhelmed by a lack of integrity but simply on the thankfully rare instances when corrupt behavior and tendencies do occur, is it more likely to be democrat or Republican.

I would define it as something that could get an elected official impeached or sent to jail at worse or is unethical at the least.
Interesting I've noticed a few replies that seem to define corruption as non-compliance with their political ideology.

Leftism is by it's very nature a corruption of human nature and corrupting of human societies.
What a blatant and biased pile of horse feces. Good lord man....could you be any more blinded by ideological ignorance?
Unlikely. Even I wouldn't say conservative tendencies are intrinsically evil, or even intrinsically anti-productive.
They have, however, become monstrous in the post-80s United States.
"Even I wouldn't say they are bad. I'm just saying, they're bad. That's all."
I think the very nature of being a politician is synonomous with corruption. Neither party holds a monopoly on it. There have been politicians outed from both sides.
I do not necessarily think the GOP politicians are any more corrupt than their democrat counter-parts. I do think, however, the democrats are better at keeping it hidden. I mean, a day/week doesn't seem to go by without some GOP politician getting their tit in a wringer.
