I don't know when this was written, but the folks at Western Journalism wrote a piece about how corrupt Crybaby Reid is. Even if half the stuff is true, Reid will go down as the most corrupt politician in Nevada and one of the most corrupt in the United States.
While the article was written several years ago, some of the information is pertinent today:
One project Reid obtained $54 million for was for a “Magnetic Levitation Train.” The train would go from Disney Land to Las Vegas, but the project was opposed by the Department of Transportation. Nonetheless, numerous companies and individuals tied to this project gave Reid a total of $28,749.
One taxpayer group denounced the project as:
“[A] train to nowhere….We’re wasting tens of millions of dollars on a project nobody believes will be built except Harry Reid.” (20)

Of course, now, Reid is for the Desert Express high speed train that goes from Las Vegas to Victorville and is pushing for a $6,500,000,000 loan for them.
Also:The Coyote Springs Land Deal Reid accepted donations from a key Chinagate fundraiser: John Huang.Huang was responsible for arranging illegal contributions for the Clintons; in return their administration signed off on hi-tech exports that helped China upgrade its weapons systems.
Indeed, part of it was originally intended for target practice for a defense contractor, part of it was a habitat for the endangered desert tortoise, part of it was for a power line right of way, and much of the property contained a fragile system of streams important to the local ecosystem.
But Whittemore was also a large donor to Reid. Whittemore and his family gave over $50,000 to Reid and his leadership fund over the last decade. Reid’s sons also received contributions for their campaigns. (13)
So they obviously came to an agreement: Whittemore poured money into Reid’s campaigns and Reid cleared the obstacles, allowing Whittemore to develop land for housing that was previously thought impossible to develop.
Reid inserted language in a land management bill that reallocated the power line corridor. Regarding the tortoise issue, he persuaded the Bureau of Land Management to swap that part of the property for land adjacent to the property. Then he persuaded the EPA to lesson their opposition to the project on grounds that it impacted the ecosystem of the area.
This issue is playing out right now as there are lawsuits and investigations going on with Whittemore and others concerning political donations and other money problems.
The article is a good read as it really shows how corrupt Crybaby Harry Reid is and how stupid the GOP and voters are for not throwing this bum out of office in 2010. But my guess, once he loses control in the Senate, he will resign "to take time to care of his wife".who is ill and still recovering from a terrible accident a few years ago. Of course, the Senate is now more important than his wife now because he has the power, but once he loses it, he will leave the Senate.
And one more thing, why is Crybaby Reid and his staff so afraid of me and not respond to my questions on his views on different subjects?

I've been appalled by Harry Reid and thought I'd look to see something about his background. He sounds like a wonderful guy on a biography page I read but have now come across some items like this one. Why won't he pass a budget? He is blocking getting anything done. I thought he was just misguided,but perhaps he truly is corrupt and living his political life as a self interested person rather than doing the right thing. So sad. Mainstream media never has anything about him, nor have I heard it anywhere else.
