HARRY REID:"They have absolute power, and it has corrupted their Party"

[kpete]

"What Is The State Of Our Union In 2006?"...

From Harry Reid's Radio Address:
...........

Republicans today control the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House. They have absolute power, and it has corrupted their Party and led to the culture of corruption that we now have in Washington, DC.

There's the former Republican leader of the House of Representatives, admonished three times for ethics violations and under indictment for money laundering.

There's the White House, where for the first time in 135 years a White House employee has been indicted.

There's Karl Rove, who is under investigation. There's also the man appointed by President Bush to be charge in charge of hundreds of billions of dollars in government contracts who was led away in handcuffs because of his dealings with Jack Abramoff and others.

And then, there's the Republican "K-Street Project," which grants special interests the ability to "play" in Republican controlled Washington -- - as long as they are willing to "pay."

There is a price to pay for this Republican abuse or power, and it can be seen in the present state of our union. Special interests and the well-connected have been rewarded by Republicans... while everyone else has been left behind.

5. Why do they need to announce it?

actions speak louder than words, in fact it is better not to show your hand to catch them buy surprise

If the democrats do not fight this nomination with everything they have, then they are part of the problem also

6. they were already corrupt, that is how they gained absolute power

just a little clarification
