Culture of Coruption?
http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/10/11/D8KMJ8I00.html
Dirty Harry has really lived up to his name. Looks like Nancy Pelosi needs to be careful who she is talking about when she mentions the "Culture of Coruption".

I hope they vote him out when his election is up. Corruption is unacceptable, regardless of what party it comes from.
Although there DOES seem to be a bit more coming from the Republicans

desperate times requires desperate measures...regardless, I would hardly classify this as an act that harms tax paying citizens....and if so,
and here it is again, Public Campaign Finance Reform....gd't, why can't both sides just accept the fact that this will eliminate all of these "questionable" approaches for campaign funds?!
This will:
- eliminate campaign fraud
- eliminate illegal funding
- eliminate campaign smearing "mud slinging"
- force electoriates to actually do there job instead of campaigning...
This WILL save tax payers money, and piece of mind.

I do agree that we need some form of finance reform but that reform will not eliminate the person deals such as Reids, and will only move the flow of $$ from the lawmakers themselves to special interest groups.

Andy, the same argument can be said about Duke Cunningham, Tom Delay, and Jack Abramof, the Republicans Democrats love to trot out as their "Culture of Corruption". By the standards they use Harry Reid is in the same camp and just as guilty.

I was not trying to justify one's wrong by using another's, just pointing out that corruption goes both ways and if Harry Reid uses the "Culture of corruption" tagline again he is nothing but a hippocrite.
