Washington (CNN) – National Republicans slammed Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid after the Nevada Democrat acknowledged Tuesday that he held a fundraiser on Wall Street earlier this year.

Snip..........

President Obama made ties to Wall Street a political issue late last week when he personally singled out Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, and Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, for their recent meeting with Wall Street leaders. Cornyn is the chairman of the NRSC, the campaign arm for Senate Republicans.

In his Internet and radio address released Saturday, Obama claimed that McConnell and Cornyn held the meeting in order to talk about how to block progress on financial regulatory reform legislation.


Snip......

Reid walked away and did not respond when asked by CNN for more information about the fundraiser.

After the news conference, Reid spokesman Jim Manley confirmed that the senator held a fundraiser on Wall Street in mid-January. The event took place at a New York City restaurant and attended mostly by executives of Goldman Sachs, the powerful investment bank recently sued with civil fraud. Reid raised approximately $37,000 at the event, Manley also told CNN.

1. What the fuck do the Republicans have to scream about? They were taking cash for 12 goddamn years.

Was it not a Republican Congress that ramrodded the so-called Banking Reform Act of 2005!? All of a sudden, they get the balls to point the finger at the Democrats when they do the same damn thing? They're a bunch of hypocrites. They shouldn't even be taken seriously after they supported that ignorant bastard Sarah Palin after that living corpse McCain picked her.
