just caught harry reid on my local news. it looks like someone

[catmother]

accussed him of taking money from abramoff. harry says he never even met the man.

[FloridaPat]

1. He got contributions from the Indian reservations. The repubs

are trying to tie legal contributions givien to the Democrats to the repub illegal contributions given by Abramoff.

[tsuki]

7. I thought it was the libr'ul media that was trying to tie contributions

given to the Democrats by Indians to the Repub illegal contributions given by Abramoff.

[snowbear]

2. Geez catmom...

You weren't watching your local FAUX affiliate I hope? :o :o :o

I can't even imagine NBC, ABC, or CBS saying there are direct ties to Abramoff by Harry Reid.

Remember.. there's a MASSIVE difference between accepting donations from Indian Tribes, and having direct dealings with Abramoff for political favors. Apples and oranges!

Republicans will do anything right now to make the public think that Democrats are involved the same way they are in their dirty, filthy scandal.

They are DESPERATE !!! http://eliteleague.co.uk/forum/images/smilies/lol!.gif

By the way, good Phoenix poll on ABC re: wiretapping --> http://www.phoenix360.com/

[catmother]

10. actually it was NBC just caught it as i was getting ready for

bed. didn't get the whole thing. just heard harry say he never did and never met the man.

on edit: don't shoot the messenger

[catmother]

12. i wonder if harry was still in phoenix -- i know he was here the day

before and had a press conference. i was kinda surprised to see him on my local news.

[Raster]

3. Not ONE Democrat took a dime from abramoff. Not one.

There is not one shred of evidence that proves otherwise. This is a rethuglican scandal through and through.

[wiley]

4. CORRUPT REPUBLICANS

No Democrats involved.

[snowbear]

5. Sweet, Sweet Catmom..

Your hubby needs to see the light and flee from that damned Rethug party..

Is he considering it???

I sure hope so!!!

You should have him log on here sometime and let us talk him into it! :hug: :grouphug:

[catmother]

11. actually i saw him looking at some of the posts last night. he

does say that he will vote for mark warner. so there's hope.

did you catch my post yesterday when i hung up the phone on him. he was listening to right wing radio on his way home from work and started bashing the dems. when he got home he came and put his arm around me laughing -- i said "35 years all we've been through together" -- "are we gonna get divorced because of politics?"

by the way don't you guys ever sleep? your post was 11:22pm don't know what part of the country you're in but here in phoenix it's past bed time. we get our local news at 10:00 p.m. and i watch while i'm brushing my teeth, flossing, etc. i do try to catch a little of letterman but i'm usually asleep by 11:00 p.m.

8. Now if we could put all of those in jail, we might have a chance to

get our country back.

9. Someone needs to notify the media

cuz just the night before last, I heard Nora O'Donald saying that the Democrats were just as much involved. Tweety just shook his head and slobbered....
