Freep rumors: Howard Dean has compiled a solid file on corruption of Reid

True or False? This is all the party needs, more Swiftboating. What can be done?

Dems

Redstate ( http://www.redstate.com/story/2006/2/16/10100/6135 )is well-connected on Capitol Hill and reports the Democratic party is heading toward a civil war:

Howard Dean has compiled a solid file on the corruption of Harry Reid. For years Reid has operated as the quintessential back room politician, trading favors and legislation for money and choice positions for his children at top firms with high salaries. Reid’s ties to Jack Abramoff are more extensive than some of the Republicans allegedly tied to Abramoff. Dean himself said that any Democrat doing favors for Abramoff’s clients would be a “big problem.” He knew before he said it that Reid had done so.

Nancy Pelosi’s husband is rumored to be living large off her name and power. Individuals out to bring down Pelosi, viewing her as a threat to potential Democrat gains, are, as I write, digging through records around Washington trying to pull a Harry Reid on Nancy Pelosi—they’ll try to tie her to legislation and lobbyists via her husband’s connections and clients.

Don't you know that's just all a lie? :eyes: Please, get real.

believe a word of it.

the country. They are scared. What are we doing about it? Reacting in a defensive manner is not the solution.

them for full exposure as a course of action. This shit always goes mainstream because that is how the GOP has set up the media filtration system they control.

For starters, maybe not posting scurrilous unsubstantiated rumors from rightwing sources? Just a thought...

from the repuke swiftboat machines. Thanks for the advice. I like being uninformed. That's why I come to DU. To learn nothing. :sarcasm: And be a mushroom.

Just don't track their shit in here.

...Redstate? Yeah, well connected to Tom DeLay's anus.

:rofl:

Another classic case of projection by Repubs. :eyes:

We need to replace him with someone with more balls.

Welcome to DU, litton51 :hi:

Reid flaps his lips- talks big- and then backs down and/or gets made a fool of every time.

There's a word for that- and it's not "tough."

The word is "pathetic."

Harry Reid is the quintessential deal-maker. I don't trust him...and I live in Nevada.

in this state that don't win.

If he would help them. Or he could stop hand-picking inferior candidates. But of course, he doesn't want any competition in Nevada...he wants to be in charge.

If there was any 'there', there, it would have been fully vetted on every Sunday news show since day 1 of the Abramoff scandal. They got nothing.

There IS evidence against Reid...but Howard Dean is hiding it all! (chortle)

Now it just got it. No, it is not true.

Was Reid's problem caused by a pellet from being shot by the VP? Guess I missed that story.
I would say that is a big difference.

:hi:

They are utterly and completely delusional. I hope some "librul" journalist asks Dean about this so he can laugh at them.

Then I'd applaud Dean for having the balls to bring it to light. Corruption has no place in our party.

That said I think it's all garbage.

Aren't these the same people who had it on good authority that Fitzgerald was goign to indict Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame?

And does this sound like Dean's style? Would he defend someone who's corrupt?

And how does a man like Reid, who has battled the mob, turn out to be so corrupt. Why would he bother fighting the mob then? Wouldn't he just go along with them?

It's a smear. I call bullshit.

Sounds like they're drawing alot of conclusions over the Hackett issue.

Since Dean's very loudly denounced any attempt by the Republicans to tie Reid or any Democrat to Abramoff this seems pretty bogus.

It would be foolish to say that there's no tension there, but of course these right wingers are blowing a disagreement over Hackett totally out of proportion.

And since when has Kos joined the establishment?

BUT -- if there's anything dirty about Harry, I want him out. Yesterday.

typical right wing assholes trying to divide us. that's what they always do.

Whatever his warts, Reid has shown some skill in dealing with one of the shitsandwichiest situations.

There's a lot I don't like about him, being a Deaniac lefty.

Sorry but this is just agent provocateur action that means nothing. We have enough to do to get the party into shape.
