Washington, DC – While Republicans try to provide cover from their culture of corruption, Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid released the following report and statement on Republicans' abuse of power:

“The idea of Republicans reforming themselves is like asking John Gotti to clean up organized crime. I thought I’d seen the last of corruption when I helped clean up Las Vegas thirty years ago. But, while its not quite the mafia of Las Vegas in the 1970s, what is happening today in Washington is every bit as corrupt and the consequences for our country have been just as severe.

“Some problems have no legislative fix, and the Republican culture of corruption is one of them. Today’s announcements by House and Senate Republicans should be taken at face value – minor wrist slapping and good public relation stunts by the same people responsible for this mess. Democrats will lead the tough reforms, because we owe it to the American people to stand up for their interests over special interests. Are we really going to believe that Republicans will stop answering the calls from their friends on K Street? Are they really going to put seniors ahead of drug companies when it comes reforming Medicare? Are they really going to help families over oil companies when it comes to gas prices? The answer to these questions is no, and that’s why the American people trust Democrats to clean up Washington and put their interests first.”

Pot, I'd like you to meet Kettle....

Rock and hard place time.

I don't trust the Republicans at all anymore but I trust the Democrats even less.

Helluva choice.

Was this before or after the $700,000 UNREPORTED land deal was made known........

At least with the Republicans there is a fair chance of shoehorning someone good in during the primaries. I draw your attention to the Alaska Governor primary, as an example.

The Democrats are the avatars of the Seven Deadly Sins and thus, worship Satan.

It's a no-brainer.

corrupt Dims such as Jefferson, Mollohan, REID, Pelosi, Clinton, and Ted Kennedy remain in Congress in contempt of the law and their constituents.

And Murtha !!! (ABSCAM scandal - The investigation ultimately led to the conviction of a United States Senator, six members of the House of Representatives, the Mayor of Camden, New Jersey, members of the Philadelphia City Council, and an inspector for the Immigration and Naturalization Service)

I sent a fax to George V.Voinovich, Senate Chairman of the Select Committee on Ethics,to ask why he has not held a press conference on this.

Hello George,did you see this story on reid?,do you care?,George you out there? George?

[WhiteGuy]

ok so it's sort of hypocritical of reid to call the kettle black....................

but,


the gop, especially here in Ohio, has certainly redefined the meaning of governmental corruption and the looting of tax dollars.

Therefore might it be completely correct that reid is right?

[LibLieSlayer]

I agree with your sentiment, but who has put more money in your pocket? Who has cut your taxes? Who has killed more of your enemies? Who will not put nancy pelosi in charge of the House?

There are significant differences.

He meant, Clean OUT Vegas in sweetheart deals not disclosed to his constituents.

It's like they see the news and pretend no one else can read and say the exact opposite of what is true. Oh, that's called a lie. Libs are used to that word.

He should write a book about the culture of corruption since he is a master of corruption.

Although Judicial watch doesn't have a very good track record.........

Judicial Watch, a public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, filed a formal request with the U.S. Department of Justice, calling for a criminal investigation into the reported activities of Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., and her brother, Anthony D. Rodham; former President Clinton, and Vonna Jo Gregory, former owner of the carnival company United Shows International.

Recently released court documents provided new details concerning a scheme involving Anthony Rodham, who allegedly received $107,000 in fraudulent loans from United Shows International as compensation for securing a presidential pardon for Gregory in 2000 from then-President Clinton.

The October 6, 2006 letter also seeks an investigation into President and Sen. Clinton over any involvement they may have had in the alleged scheme.
