Congress: Can’t live with Harry Reid, can’t live without him

The Washington Post profiles the vulnerable Senate majority leader. “Gritty and stoic, Reid embodies Nevada's paradoxical relationship with the federal government, a can't-live-with-him, can't-live without-him dilemma that has turned his quest for a fifth Senate term into the fight of his long career. Win or lose, most of Reid's elections have been decided by whisker-thin margins and his battle against tea party star Sharron Angle figures to be another. But the dynamics of this one are different. Never before has Nevada been so tired of Reid - and yet so dependent on him.”

The Dems are more corrupt than the Republicans. Even though I'm a Repub, I know for a fact that the Dems are so corrupt that they keep it hidden for years until someone or something collapses. Eg. Rangel and the Housing Collapse. The 5th Horseman never broke a word about those. Wall Street financed his rise and Presidency and you never hear of it. In the meantime, how I know this, is simple. The Dems, when you hear them accusing others of corruption and being in cahoots with big oil and other such schemes, you must know that is exactly what they are doing.
