Harry Harry, Show Us Yours?

http://frontporchpolitics.com/2012/0...crisy-exposed/

I've been living in Nevada 36 years and I've always wondered how Harry Reid became a millionaire on a Senator's salary. I could surmise though since there have been several questionable BLM land deals where BLM land has been rezoned for condos and the tortoises could just move if they didn't like it.

What are you suggesting?

That Harry is just like Mitt?

So both shouldn't be elected, right?

tjdave, i've heard whispers about Harry's ethics ever since i've been in Nv.
Mitt, has created jobs. Harry creates chaos.
We know Mitt made a fortune with shrewd investments but nobody knows
how Harry got ahold of his dough. . I'm just sayin' what a hypocrite he is
in case you're not able to cipher that for yourself.

Funny, have been hearing the same rumors for quite some time. They say that Oil Can Harry at one time was very cozy with, shall we say, a few of The Boys.

I'm sure he's as big a crook as any other politician but since he entered the Senate over 25 years ago his average salary has been in excess of $140K/yr. Add the perks like the 72% federal employee subsidy on health care insurance and other benefits the average citizen doesn't have and I think you'll find his overall non-discretionary expenses are lower on a percentage basis than most. If you can't generate a net worth over a million dollars after an annual salary of $141K for 26 years (that's over $3.6 million) then you're doing something wrong with your spending and/or investments.

steve, his net worth is well over a million bucks and he maintains one of the most expensive and lavish residences in Wash. This hypocrite demands Romney's tax returns and makes unfounded allegations, while he refuses to release his own tax returns. That's the point.

I understand he's as slimy and corrupt as most politicians but the point was that you questioned whether someone in his salary range (and for so long) would be able to become a millionaire. I think the answer is clearly yes. Whatever he has accumulated beyond what seems reasonable is a separate issue, but basically I agree with you - he's a crook.


BTW, www.therichest.org lists his net worth at $2.6 million. OTOH they list Paul Ryan's net worth at $7.8 million. Where did a guy his age who has never had a real job get that kind of money?

No, but he's the Senate Majority Leader. He once said 'anyone in public office should be willing to show their tax returns.'

All you have to do is listen to Dingy Harry and it will be obvious he has no ethics.
They don't come much lower than this dirt bag.
A true American Traitor.

Dug up a thread to inform NJStinks that Senator Reid was apparently involved in a wreck today and sent to the hospital.

http://news.yahoo.com/sen-reid-taken...-election.html
LAS VEGAS (AP) — Troopers say Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been taken to the hospital in an ambulance after what appears to be a rear-end crash on an interstate through Las Vegas.

Nevada Highway Patrol Office spokesman Jeremie Elliott says he doesn't know Reid's condition after the crash, which happened about 1:10 p.m. Friday on Interstate 15.

The freeway runs parallel to the Las Vegas Strip.

Elliott says six vehicles were involved in the apparent chain-reaction crash, including two Las Vegas police vehicles, two civilian vehicle and two Capitol Police vehicles.
Hopefully he's okay and luckily, he apparently has more security to look after him and keep him safe than our ambassadors in Libya do.

(gratuitous cheap shot was irresistable)

He married a very wealthy girl.
