“It is beyond ironic that in an attempt to smear the 
    ethics of others, the Democrat ‘war room’ chose to use 
    taxpayer-funded staff and equipment to compile a 
    blatantly political attack on Republican Senators. 
    Researching, compiling and distributing what amounts to 
    nothing more than a campaign ad on the taxpayer’s dime 
    raises serious ethical questions. Sen. Reid once chaired 
    the Ethics Committee, he should know better.

    “At a time when the Congress should be working together 
    toward reform and safeguards against ethics violations, 
    the Democrat leadership has instead chosen to run a 
    political campaign out of the U.S. Capitol.

    “If the Democrat leadership spent as much time working 
    for America, and toward an agenda, they might actually 
    stand for something other than personal attacks. And it 
    would be a far wiser—and ethical—use of the taxpayer’s 
    dollar.”
