You Want Reid to Control the Senate?

Here's another question for voters about to elect a Senator this fall: Do you want Senator Harry Reid, the current MINORITY Leader to take over as the Leader of the Senate with the power to decide which legislation get's advanced and which gets ignored?

With all the focus in the media on accountability in the Mark Foley scandal, we're wondering if there will be the same accountability for Reid, who just accidentally? failed to include a real estate transaction in Nevada that netted him a $700,000 profit on required Senate Ethics Reports. Reid and his wife bought property for $400,000 in 1998 and sold it for $1.1 million. The sale amounts to a 270% profit for Reid.

With such evident business skill, we think Reid would be proud to include the deal on his required Senate filings. But in addition to forgetting to disclose the deal, it appears that Reid took steps to conceal his role.

This is the same man who last year constantly lectured Republicans on the "culture of corruption."

And Reid's latest trick isn't anything new. Here's a reminder of Democrat ethics:

It makes the Jack Abramoff scandal (reminds me, Reid took buckets of cash from Abramoff too) look like small potatoes.

A vote for any Democrat for Senate this fall is a vote for Harry Reid and business as usual in Washington (but only if you are a Democrat).
