Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid's Dirty Dealings Unearthed

"He didn't rape them, he just forced them to have sex with him or he'd ruin their lives."

I know no one has said that but basically that is what is being said. I like that, it's not rape, he just forced them to have sex with him. Good job defending Foley.

And another finance problem for Reid is exposed!

Now it has been revealed that Reid was using campaing contributions to pay bonus for his staff. It iis a definate violation of ethics rules to convert campaign contributions for personal use in this way.

New Reid Article

Senate Democratic leader Harry Reid has been using campaign donations instead of his personal money to pay Christmas bonuses for the support staff at the Ritz-Carlton where he lives in an upscale condominium. Federal election law bars candidates from converting political donations for personal use.
Questioned about the campaign expenditures by The Associated Press, Reid's office said Monday he was personally reimbursing his campaign for $3,300 in donations he had directed to the staff holiday fund at his residence.

...

Federal election law permits campaigns to provide "gifts of nominal value" but prohibits candidates from using political donations for personal expenses, such as mortgage, rent or utilities for "any part of any personal residence."

The law specifically defines prohibited personal use expenses as any "obligation or expense of any person that would exist irrespective of the candidate's campaign or duties as a federal officeholder."

Is this the begininnng of the end for the hypocritical Nevada democrat senator?
