Just Simply Harry Reid.
Hey folks,
If you really want to know who it is that could be leading you in 21 days, you have to look no farther than Harry Reid. Talk about a "Culture of Corruption" From the deals he made with the Native Americans, boxing tickets, land deals, and now using campaign contributions to give Christmas bonuses? According to the AP,
"Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid paid cash for a $750,000 condo at the Ritz-Carlton where he lives. But when it comes to giving the doorman and other support staff Christmas bonuses, he's been using campaign donations instead of his own money.
Federal election law bars candidates from converting political donations for personal use.
Questioned about the campaign expenditures by The Associated Press, Reid's office said Monday his lawyers had approved them but he nonetheless was personally reimbursing his campaign for the $3,300 he had directed to the staff holiday fund at his residence."
Folks, lets look at Reid, Shall we?
"Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada began receiving campaign contributions from at least four American Indian tribes only after they hired Jack Abramoff, Republicans charged this week in an effort to tie the Senate Democratic leader to the disgraced lobbyist.
On Thursday, Reid shrugged off questions about money he received from tribal clients of Abramoff, who pleaded guilty last month to three felonies after being accused of exchanging meals, travel and gifts for political favors.
"I've said that I received money from Indians in the past and will continue to do so," Reid said."
AS I reported to you on June first,
"Now Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid, who DID receive free boxing tickets from a Nevada agency trying to influence him on federal boxing legislation, is trying to change his mind. Just Tuesday he vowed to keep taking such gifts. He said he "Deserves them". He then "mis-stated" the ethics rules attempting to justify this.
But today is a new day folks, the Senate leader will NOT be keeping the tickets and has also decided not to take free boxing seats in the future even though he still believes it was ethical to do so in 2004 and 2005."
Then,
"Now it seems that Harry Reid, Senate Democratic leader has some questions to answer. Seems that he has made some money in a questionable real-estate deal. Back in 1998, Reid bought undeveloped residential property on the outskirts of Las Vegas for about $400,000. He bought one lot outright, and a second parcel jointly with long time friend Jay Brown. One of the sellers was a developer who was benefitting from a government land swap that Reid supported. Then he sold the land for the same price to a limited liability corporation created by Brown. The senator didn't disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress he had any stake in Brown's company. He continued to report to Congress that he personally owned the land.
After getting local officials to re-zone the property for a shopping center, Brown's company sold the land in 2004 to other developers and Reid took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling the senator's investment. Reid reported it to Congress as a personal land sale."
Oh, by the way. his son was on the Zoning Committee.
Now it seems than Reid announced yesterday he is amending his ethics reports to Congress to more fully account for a land deal that allowed him to collect $1.1 million for property he hadn't personally owned for three years.
LOL, TRANSLATION time, he is going to do what the LWL do every time they get caught, "he is amending his ethics reports." He is rewriting history to make it fit his actions.
Just his point of view with this whole thing,
"I've said that I received money from Indians in the past and will continue to do so,"
He said he "Deserves them". He then "mis-stated" the ethics rules attempting to justify this.
Reid's office said Monday his lawyers had approved them but he nonetheless was personally reimbursing his campaign,,,
His attitude is simple. He deserves whatever he can get. Screw ethics. Screw the rules. Screw you. When he gets caught? He rewrites history. Why not? He has the media on his side.
Why is the Mass Media so silent about all this? Why is Reid NOT on the front page of every news outlet in the country. He is CLEARLY corrupt. Why is noone calling for his head? No folks, the Mass media has all but hid Reid, and Pelosi. They will most likely do so until the election. Possibly bring them out RIGHT before to give a face to the voters. Why? They WANT THEM IN POWER. They do not care about Reid’s corruption. In the LWL that seems to be something to be praised.
You want HIM leading you? 21 days to go folks.

we can all stick our heads in the sand and only see what we want to see. Thats easy. it takes courage to seek out the truth and take responsibility for our actions. anyone who votes to keep the republican party in power should take a good hard look at the direction they are taking the country and think hard before deciding to vote to keep going down the trail we are on. do you really think your children will thank you for it down the road? You are responsible for your vote.
Hey, welcome to the OPN
Sorry, I just caught your comment under the spam. Let me ask you this, are YOU? Are you comfortable with your kids growing up with these people leading the country? Day after day, more and more evidence comes out that these people are corrupt. From land deals, bribes, and yes ACTUAL sex. But the Mass Media drones ignore them if there is a D in front of their name. Yet, I could say R anyone from anywhere USA took a bribe. True or not, someone reading this would go to someone else who would turn it into front page news. If it turns out to be false, they will retract it later. But for now, everyone sees how “corrupt” this Republican is. But a Democrat?
The MMD Guru says “SHHhh. Wait until after the election. If they lose, print whatever you want. But if they win, we want them to stay in power. But for right now, Shhhh.”
It’s too bad that the Democrats have been taken over by the looneys. I urged the Left for years to come up with as plan to win, and bring back balance to Government. But NOW? Now that the looneys are running it. I want NOTHING to do with them getting power.
Your one hundred percent right, “You are responsible for your vote.” Not the LWL, not the media, YOU. This election more important than any other in recent history matters.
