Reply #14: Reid is corrupt and a slimeball

[beachmom]

Sorry, one too many scandals have come out involving him. He puts himself before the people's business. I'll still never forget every single time he screwed over Kerry in the last Congressional session. At the time I thought it was a power play with him being threatened by the former presidential nominee, and propping up Hillary. But I'm wrong -- Kerry is fighting for the people while Reid wants the elite status quo. Kerry is fighting for what's right, and Reid is trying to do the least possible without looking bad. Well, it's now caught up to him. The Republicans are corrupt scumbags, but . . . this is what a 2 party system is for. And Coburn has been well known for trying to eliminate pork and corrupt inside deals (as well as being a religious right looney, but I digress).

Earmarks are fine (or rather federal spending for one's own state), but they need to be TRANSPARENT. They need to see the light of day, and who's doing them. And they're the first on the chopping block when we're in a fiscal crisis -- like now.

And this family stuff is ridiculous.
