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.”

The mormon mafia or the hard rock miner mafia?
I believe you and just posted this on another thread:
If we see Pelosi forced to testify in the Foley case, we'll be certain that we're watching the low rent Arkansas mafia v Vegas and San Francisco crime family vendettas play out.
The Families in the Northeast, and probably in Detroit, Chicago, Kansas City, New Orleans ~ you do understand who owns Reid don't you?
Nah, the Mormon Mafia were loyal to one man: Howard Hughes.
He helped "clean up" in Vegas ~ a far different enterprise, but apparantly very lucrative.
No,we are right,we run them,they don't run us.
Thank God for a forum like this.
It use to be abc,nbc,cbs, when I was a kid.
No more.
"government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem."
Now, now, don' be sayin' nothin' bad about Howie.
Shame the OCD got to him.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's amazing how corrupt so many Democrats are but having the advantage of MSM on their side, it doesn't get reported as it should. They all have their skeletons tightly locked in the closets. I just hope Reid goes down because of this, the little whining hypocrit!
Harry Callahan is a better role model. "OK punk, make my day."
Among other things.
REID: STOP ME BEFORE I CORRUPT AGAIN!
When you point your finger at somebody else there are 4 fingers pointed back at you.

"CLOSE, VERY CLOSE, YOU WOULDN'T BELIEVE HOW CLOSE, mob ties.
People disappear over this kind of stuff."
You are very correct. A little boy was even kidnapped and killed because his father supposedly tried to bribe Reid. The boys' father was represented by Oscar Goodman, lawyer to the mob and good friend of Reid. very nasty stuff.

This really isn't the week Harry should be talking about corruption.
Somebody find that skateboard kid in Searchlight, NV who went up to him in a diner and said he wanted to be 'just like him' when he grows up! He needs to see 'Scared Straight!' ;-)
