Ensign's parents contribute to Harry Reid????

LOSERS WITH MONEY ENSIGN’S PARENTS GIVING MONEY TO MISTRESSES AGAIN: Looks like Nevada’s two biggest money people, John Ensign’s mommy and daddy, are yet again dipping into their retirements for their son’s protection: “Mike and Sharon Ensign, who made waves in July after admitting to giving $96,000 to Ensign’s mistress and her family, each gave the maximum $4,800 in contributions to Reid’s campaign committee in the September, the Senate Majority Leader’s campaign disclosed in its third quarter fundraising report.” So how long have John Ensign and Harry Reid been sleeping together?

4. Why is Harry the Senate MAJORITY leader? He is a member of the
minority party.

15. He's a DINO for the most part. I often wonder if he is secretly a dedicated
Reublican "Ivan".

7. I've long suspected Reid & Ensign had a non-aggression pact.
Edited on Mon Oct-19-09 07:15 PM by burning rain
Suspicious that a high-profile GOP challenger to Reid hasn't emerged, given his lousy poll numbers. Collusion of some sort between Reid and Ensign, between Nevada's Democratic and Republican Parties, could explain it. Nevada's frequently a closely contested state, with pretty volatile senate seats, so you can see a motive for that kind of shadiness. Definitely something worth investigating.

10. The really rich people give to both Dems and Pubs.
That way, no matter who wins they still own them.

12. They're also making sure Harry keeps treating their son like the golden boy from Nevada.
But have you ever seen Harry say anything about Ensign?

14. Covering all bets, I imagine
And not a risky bet these days, considering how far the Republican party has fallen.

I think the focus should now be on Reid to explain why he TOOK those donations.

This whole "affair" doesn't make sense, if you get my meaning.
