The Democrats are guilty too...


I don't want my readers to think that I am so biased in my liberal philosophy that I won't point out when the Democrats are guilty of indiscretion too.

I support the Democrats because they are the alternative that best suits my political beliefs and also have any actual political clout.

Am I a Libertarian?

Maybe.

Green party?

Not so much.

I believe in the Constitution of the United States of America.

I believe in the vision of American set up by our founders.

I believe in this country and its citizens.

I believe that our nation was meant to be ruled free from Religious pre-text.

I am a Democrat because there is no other viable option.

Harry Reid (D-NV) has apparently also made some mistakes.

Story.

He apparently used $3,300 of unused campaign funding to provide Christmas Bonuses to his staff and the people who work in and around his condo at the Ritz-Carlton.

No doubt this is a problem.

Federal Campaign Finance Law strictly prohibits campaign money being used for personal benefit.

The irony is, as the Republicans desperately spend the next two weeks trying to flood the media with reports of Democratic misdeeds, this particular misdeed was actually to the benefit of everyday working Americans.

There were members of the support staff for Mr. Reid that got the bonuses they probably needed to buy gifts for their family, pay bills, and take care of other such necessities.

Its unfortunate that Mr. Reid used campaign money, but at least this instance wasn't a Senator providing no-bid construction contracts to business associates.

It wasn't a Senator using his power to get his daughter and her friend a position with Washington Lobbying firms.

Shame on you Mr. Reid.

At least its not sexual misconduct with a 15-year-old boy.

Maybe that is still to come.

Stay Tuned...
