Corruption claimed in Harry Reid deal 
Senate Minority Leader hung up phone when queried about $1 million windfall

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid hung up the phone when questioned by the Associated Press about a $1.1 million windfall on land he had not owned for three years, the wire service is reporting.

Reid collected on the Las Vegas land sale in a deal engineered by a longtime friend and former casino lawyer, Jay Brown, whose name has surfaced in organized crime investigations, the AP said.

According to records and interviews obtained by the AP, the senator did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in the company.

Defending the senator, his aides argued the deal was not disclosed because it was considered a "technical transfer."

No money changed hands, they insisted, and Reid's ownership stake in Brown's company was equal to the value of his land. The senator, they contended, also continued to pay taxes on the land.

The aides also explained there were no documents to prove Reid's stake in the company, because it was an informal agreement between friends.

The AP said Reid bought the undeveloped residential property on the outskirts of Las Vegas for about $400,000 and sold it in 2001 for the same price to Brown's limited liability corporation.

Reid did not disclose the sale on his annual public ethics report or tell Congress he had any stake in Brown's company, the AP notes, but continued to report to Congress that he personally owned the land.

Brown then convinced local officials to rezone the property for a shopping center before his company sold the land in 2004 to other developers.

Reid nearly tripled his investment, taking $1.1 million of the proceeds. He then reported it to Congress as a personal land sale.

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

Reid spokesman Jim Manley told the wire service the 1998 purchase "was a normal business transaction at market prices."

"There were several legal steps associated with the investment during those years that did not alter Senator Reid's actual ownership interest in the land," he said.

But Senate ethics rules require lawmakers to disclose on their annual ethics report all transactions involving investment properties, regardless of profit or loss, the wire service points out, and to report any ownership stake in companies.

A former Federal Election Commission official affirmed Reid's failure to report the sale and his ties to Brown's company violated Senate rules.

"This is very, very clear," said Kent Cooper, who oversaw government disclosure reports for federal candidates for two decades. "Whether you make a profit or a loss you've got to put that transaction down so the public, voters, can see exactly what kind of money is moving to or from a member of Congress.

"It is especially disconcerting when you have a member of the leadership, of either party, not putting in the effort to make sure this is a complete and accurate report," said Cooper. "That says something to other members. It says something to the Ethics Committee."

How Democrats and Republicans React to Sex Crimes


(AgapePress) - The Washington Post has reported that five years ago Congressman Jim Kolbe (AZ) knew of former Congressman Mark Foley's e-mails. According to the Post, Kolbe, a homosexual, confronted Foley in 2000 concerning his e-mails to 16-year-old pages. But the Post doesn't say that Kolbe ever brought the situation to the attention of the Republican leadership. Evidently this is a case of one homosexual congressman covering up for another homosexual congressman.

It is interesting to see how the two parties differ in their approach of dealing with sex offenses. The Wall Street Journal recently ran a story concerning sexual misbehavior by six congressmen over the past three decades: three Democrats and three Republicans.

The three Republicans were: Daniel Crane (Il) who had sex with a17-year-old female page; Donald Lukens (OH) who had sex with 16-year-old girl; and Jon Hinson (MS) who was convicted of sodomy with a federal male employee.

All three Republicans were thrown out by the Republican party or by Republican voters.

The three Democrats were: Gerry Studds (MA) who had sex with a 17-year-old male page and made sexual advances against two others; Melvyn Reynolds (Il) who had sex with a 16-year-old female campaign worker; and Barney Frank (MA) who paid a male prostitute for sex. In addition, Frank's apartment was used as headquarters for a male prostitution ring.

How were the Democrats treated? Melvyn Reynolds went to jail, but was pardoned by President Clinton. Gerry Studds and Barney Frank, both homosexuals, were "reprimanded" by Congress, but both were re-nominated by the Democratic Party and re-elected again and again for 14 years by Democratic voters and given positions of high influence by the Democratic leadership.

Why, then, do the Democrats now treat homosexuality as a dirty subject? Because this is an election year. What we have is a well-planned political episode designed to bring down the Republicans. The sexual activity of homosexual congressmen is of little concern to the Democrats, who have been pushing the homosexual agenda for years. Seizing control of the House and Senate, however, is of great interest.

Former Representative Foley's activities were known by Democrats for years. But they kept silent until the opportune time came. Now they are playing it for all it is worth.

About the only people upset with Foley's actions are the Values Voters. The Democrats knew that this issue would strike at the heart of the Values Voters movement. And therein lies the purpose.

Cause the Values Voters to become so disgusted and discouraged that they will not bother to vote; give them reason to stay at home. That is the engine driving this whole episode.

And if Values Voters do that, the pro-homosexual Democrats will have won -- and the House and the Senate will both be in their hands, waiting for Hillary to take command of the ship in 2008.

I'm glad to see that there are some other good Christians out there with good Godly discernment.

If Hilarious Clinton is elected in 2008 and Bill becomes the first lady, I think I would look for a more Christian country to move to.

By the way, I think all of the current games are going to completely backfire. I don't know any Christians who are remotely thinking about not voting. All of my friends will most definitely vote, and we're smart enough to see through all of the smoke screens.

I think there will be much more revealed before the 2006 elections, and the anything BUT innocent speakers for the democratic party will be exposed. There is some definite need to clean house, but only the guilty. One side does that pretty well, and the other side promotes and keeps the dirt.

There's a lot of things that I could mention, but I think for now that I'll only mention one or two.

Do we really want a speaker of the house who is also the leader of the annual gay pride parade in San Francisco?

Do we really want a political party in power with a stated platform of pro-abortion and for same-sex marriage - just to mention a small part of a GODLESS platform?

It isn't just the stated platform that anyone can read for themselves, rather a record and history of GODLESS actions and votes with many more on the way if they take power. The records, actions, and votes indicate that the far, extreme left runs this party, and that's why the stated platform is extreme, far left.

CHRISTIANS - get the facts, pray about everything, AND GO VOTE!

Love In Christ,
Tom

Romans 5:17-18 NASB  For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ.  So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

  You call her Hilarious too??

Amen. Christians are the ones who have the upper hand now if ALL Christians went out there and registered and voted, this nonsense would would have to stop

ANY Democrat who has any Christian values or morals at all should get out of that party NOW!!!

Personally as a Christian I've had ENOUGH of the hypocrisy the filth and the slander of the Democrat party, collectively they do all the things that were done in Sodom and Gomorrah and worse.!!!!!!!!

CHRISTIANS WE NEED TO GET OUT THERE AND VOTE. IF WE DON'T VOTE FOR THE RIGHT PERSON WE WILL END UP WITH EVIL RUNNING OUR COUNTRY !!!

   YES Sister Maria, I do call her Hilarious Clinton. I've watched her try to make the far left happy and still try to appeal to some of the moderates and conservatives. In fact, she switches back and forth for the occasion. I would say that she isn't very good at switching back and forth, and it makes it pretty difficult to determine what she really believes. I suspect that the Hollywood far left will be the backbone of her campaign in terms of money, so she will have to make them happy first. It is pretty Hilarious to watch.   

[airIam2worship]

Hilarious Clinton should be an expert with the flip floping by now. I'm sure she can get a lot of advice from John Kerry if she needs any 

Hilarious' flip-flops she even has them worn out on the toes a little

There are already a total of 51 registered political parties. Not all of these have fielded candidates of their own and some participate only on a local level only with no candidates on a federal level.

These third party political parties take votes away from the primary parties, Democrats and Republicans. Many of those parties that do not have a candidate at the federal level do not vote on the federal level either.
