Senator Harry Reid claims to be an ethical politician and he often employs his Mormon religion in order to demonstrate his alleged immaculacy. However, the reality is that he is, in fact, one of the most ethically challenged politicians in office today. This report will review his alliances with corrupt individuals, his support of ACORN, his ties with organized crime figures and his chronic failure to comply with campaign finance laws.

Harry Reid’s Alliance with Jack Abramoff Soon after the Jack Abramoff scandal broke, Reid took the lead in attacking Republicans for fostering a “culture of corruption.” (1)

But shortly after making these comments, it was reported that Reid took almost $68,000 from Abramoff’s firm, its PAC and its Indian casino clients. (2)

Reid then tried to distance himself from Abramoff, stating, “[D]on’t lump me in with Jack Abramoff. This is a Republican scandal. Don’t try to give any of it to me.” (3)

Here’s the key passage: Harry Reid wrote at least four letters helpful in Indian tribes represented by Jack Abramoff, and Reid’s staff had frequent contact with the disgraced lobbyist’s team about legislation….Reid collected nearly $68,000 in political donations from Abramoff’s firm, lobbying partners and clients…Abramoff’s firm also hired one of Reid’s top legislative aides as a lobbyist.

What does everyone think about this post regarding the King of the Senate Harry Reid. Also discussed in the article, are Reid's relationship with George Soros, his Nepotism, his shielding of Acorn, his mob connections, and his stances on the issues. If you know anyone in Neveade tell them to defeat Harry Reid in next years election.

Do you mean to tell me that Harry Reid is a crook?

I’ve yet to meet a Mormon who will defend Old Harry or even accept him as one of their own. Orin Hatch they will at least say he is a good man and once was a decent Senator, but he’d been in Washington too long.

We were in Nevada last weekend. Everywhere you looked
there were signs that said “Anybody But Harry Reid”.

[Western Journalism]

I would say the article does a good job of exposing his lies, and corruption. So yes, I think he qualifies as a crook.

I married into a family of Mormons (Some practicing, some not) (I’m a Methodist). Harry Reid would be the most HATEFUL Mormon I have ever met. (Matter of fact, he’s the ONLY hateful Mormon I’ve ever met.) Hard to believe.

How is Harry Reid being a mormon not a threat but Mitt Romney being a mormon is. Hypocritical a##es.
