A Western Journalism Exclusive By Steve Baldwin
Tips to Socialism is Not the Answer
This partisan dirt bag is beyond redemption, he has virtually no chance of keeping his job, he can barely fog a mirror, the people in Nevada think he is a scumbag. But he will so his best to screw us over and America trying to bring his Marxist agenda to our country. News Flash Harry, sure you have the fix in with the nuclear option, but the rest of your party is going down in flames, next November. If most of your wing nut ideas pass they are clearly Unconstitutional, the key will be finding a judge or court that still believes in the Constitution. Random thoughts while observing the passing parade, J.C.
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. (4)
The bulk of the donation money came from Indian tribes who were Abramoff’s clients, most of whom owned casinos in the region. Reid’s letters were meant to influence the Interior Department to reject applications that would allow certain Indian tribes to open up new casinos. Reid was not acting in opposition to gambling, but was rather protecting the existing Indian casinos (Abramoff’s Clients) from having new competition in their regions. (5)
