Harry Reid, the quintessential hypocrite

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was in the news again and not for passing a budget, which the Senate has not done in over 1200 days. Reid made news as the democrat attack dog; making accusations that Presidential candidate Mitt Romney has not paid taxes in 10 years. This information supposedly came from some source, but Reid will leave the burden of proof on the accused; another instance of being guilty until proven innocent. Although if you remember, Harry Reid was the person who claimed that paying taxes was voluntary. Reid, who doesn’t face reelection for another four years, has nothing to lose except his position as Senate Majority Leader. He calls out Romney on taxes, but won’t release any of his records. That might be a good idea for Reid, his shady land deals may come out to the public. Is the IRS really that incompetent? Can a millionaire really just stop paying taxes for a decade and then resume again and not send any up any red flags? One thing is for certain, you cannot believe anything Harry Reid says. He constantly proves he is nothing more than a partisan hack. As I mentioned above, Harry Reid attacks Romney as a tax dodger but claims that paying taxes are voluntary. Harry Reid even supported auditing the Federal Reserve; that is until it became something the conservatives wanted. If those were the only two, it wouldn’t be that bad, but it gets worse. Harry Reid supported interpreting the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution to not allow anchor babies free citizenship, but that was only important until the democrats began pandering to the emerging Latino community. Harry Reid pretends to care about protecting our border, but if he was really for securing borders, would he be pushing for amnesty or the DREAM act? Reid continues to show that his only allegiance is to his party, not Nevada, not the country. Under President Bush, Reid was against raising the debt ceiling but now under President Obama, it’s unpatriotic to not raise it. Harry Reid has flip flopped on his stance on the PATRIOT ACT, transparency in government and continues his hypocrisy with senate recesses. Harry Reid continues to show us the problem with career politicians; they are nothing but partisan hacks that care more about themselves and their party than anything else. One thing is for certain, you cannot trust anything that comes out of his mouth because if you wait long enough, it will change.
