*yawn*
This is just parsing by MM. Even MM admits that Reid took a bunch of cash from Abramoff's PAC and his clients; and that's how Abramoff funneled cash to politicians he dealt with!

**double yawn **
Once again, Shoes slithers in here, post some nonsensical crap about one little insignificant part of the story that's supposed to make MMFA look bad and her side look good (which it doesn't), and slithered back out before anyone saw her.
I wish you had the courage to stick around and discuss the crap you post here, Shoes. You might actually learn something in the process...

Shoes doesn't really want to come back, then she'd have to defend the criminal scumbag Ralph Reed, and his fundraising buddy John McCain (who actually knew what Abramoff was up to)

"Psychotic" is the key word to describe that quote. We don't need to worry about the planet because Jesus died on a cross almost 2,000 years ago. What strikes me about that is that even if one believes in Christ, believes that he died for our sins, saved mankind, whatever, that has absolutely nothing to do with global climate change. By that line of thinking a potential nuclear holocaust is nothing to fret over, since Jesus already saved the planet.
The fact that this sort of person got elected into any position anywhere is highly disturbing.

According to Wikipedia, Harry reid was re-elected in 2004, meaning he still has two years to go on his current term. GOP spokesperson Katie Wright was simply resorting to the old "change-the-subject-when-you-have-no-defense" ploy, which the Repugs do quite frequently nowadays.....
