You actually believe the Democrats are saints?

How about the marked bills in the Congressmans freezer?

Why is he not in court?

He was indicted in June. Too bad he's black. White Democrats are protected better - they can drive drunk, run prostitution rings, kill young women.

Harry Reid's shady land deals.

If they are shady, why is he not been sued? Why is the DOJ not investigating? Its a GOP administration.....they are no friend of Reid. If he's guilty of a crime, why is no one doing anything?


I can't say. Looks pretty suspicious to me:

AP Exclusive: Reid Got $1M in Land Sale
Oct 11 01:13 PM US/Eastern
By JOHN SOLOMON and KATHLEEN HENNESSEY
Associated Press Writers
.........
The Nevada Democrat's deal was engineered by Jay Brown, a longtime friend and former casino lawyer whose name surfaced in a major political bribery trial this summer and in other prior organized crime investigations.
.......
The deal began in 1998 when Reid bought undeveloped residential property on Las Vegas' booming outskirts for about $400,000. Reid bought one lot outright, and a second parcel jointly with Brown. One of the sellers was a developer who was benefiting from a government land swap that Reid supported.
.........
After getting local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center, Brown's company sold the land in 2004 to other developers and Reid took $1.1 million of the proceeds, nearly tripling the senator's investment. Reid reported it to Congress as a personal land sale.

The complex dealings allowed Reid to transfer ownership, legal liability and some tax consequences to Brown's company without public knowledge, but still collect a seven-figure payoff nearly three years later.

Reid hung up the phone when questioned about the deal during an AP interview last week.

The senator's aides said no money changed hands in 2001 and that Reid instead got an ownership stake in Brown's company equal to the value of his land. Reid continued to pay taxes on the land and didn't disclose the deal because he considered it a "technical transfer," they said.

They also said they have no documents proving Reid's stake in the company because it was an informal understanding between friends.
...


Is that how land transactions are usually done?

The two full-time jobs her son has, one as a mortgage loan officer and one as a senior VP for a sleazy marketing database company (who has been financing the Clintons for years - $2M in consulting fees to Bill) tied to scams against the elderly?

What does that have to do with Pelosi.


Ha ha. You think Pelosi's position has nothing to do with businessmen eager to give her already fully employed son another fulltime highpaying job?
--------------------------------
Of course, theres nothing funny going on here cause none of these folks have been convicted of anything.

That's right.....it looks like the GOP is trying to find things to divert attention from their own bad deeds. Unfortunately, nothing is sticking.......speaks volumes.


Yeah, your ability to pretend obvious shady dealing is A-OK in the two items discussed just above does indeed speak volumes.

Ted Kennedy was found guilty of killing a woman? When? Do you have a link?

You know he did. It may not have been murder, it may h/b manslaughter, but either way anyone else would've gone to prison for that and we both know it.

I see......so you exaggerated to make the situation appear worse than it is. Be careful......that's how swiftboating starts.


I exaggerated nothing. Kennedy did kill a young woman. I don't know for certain whether it was cold-blooded murder or only manslaughter, he still killed her. And either way, he should have done prison time.

And thanks for showing what "swiftboating" really is - its telling the unpleasant truth about Democrats.
