Gee, that Harry Reid story seems to have vanished from the MSM.
Thanks, Bob, for lending a measure of justification to DUmmies who dismiss every mention of Democrat corruption by saying, "So what? Republicans are no better!"
Is he an Ex-congressman???
I think he's finishing out his current term, which ends this year
Once again the Democrats in the media try to raise another October Surprise to frame a GOP Congressman just three weeks before the election.
Ney has refused to resign.
Fox News is reporting that the GOP will expel him when they return to session next month if Ney hasn't resigned by then.
Republicans take out their trash. Democrats enthrone theirs.
A policy that leads to short-term pain but strength in the long run.
Some of you people really slay me! Ney "PLEADS QUILTY" of the charges. A belated welcome to FReeRepublic, but geez, the place is already over-run by kneepadding party firster hacks, another one was not necessary. Enjoy your stay. Blackbird.
