Why didn't Dingy Harry Reid resign from the Senate following the disclosure of his massive corruption?

Harry Reid is a perfect example of the Democrat "Culture of Corruption"\n\nHe has been taking "Bribe Money" for years and engaged in numerous illicit land deals.\n\nHe owns the largest lobbying organization in Nevada and his four sons are paid lobbyists.\n\nHe has even stooped to using campaign money for tipping which is contrary to the Senate Ethic rules.\n\nHe will not resign as he is totally aware of the Double Standard that permits Democrats from being punished for Corruption and punishes Republicans for similar illicit actions.\n\nHis is probably invulnerable as the people of Nevada not only condone criminal acts on the part of their legislative representatives and their legislatures  but also seemingly applaud them.

He is a consumate politician and is doing what he has to do.\nRummys resignation, one he refused to accept untill now was a bone he tossed to them hoping it would quiet the voices that want impeachment hearings.\nHe is saying what he thinks we want to hear and what his advisors tell him he must.

Oh, you know he did it. That's why he resigned. An innocent man would stay in and fight the good fight. Watch out for gay bashers, because they are usually gay bashing for a reason - ie, to keep people from looking at what they do.

Refer to Article 2, Section 4 of the Constitution of the United States.\n\n“The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”\n\nNo he cannot be fired and as far as is in the public arena, there is no evidence of such crimes.

John Howard has the smell of corruption all over him.\n\nAussie liberals should have known a lot better than to make him their leader.

I have actually thought about this sort of thing.  I always wondered why people were so ready to excuse Bill Clinton when he had an affair and lied under oath.  People said, "Oh, it's just sex."  Or, "It's his personal life."  Well, we wouldn't want that happening to us in our own homes, so I don't know why we would accept it from the leader of our country.  I think we need to hold people in power to an even higher expectation.

You can always tell when he is lying, his lips are moving. He is as corupt as any leader I have ever seen in my 60 years on earth. He has surrounded himself with more corruption. He should go directly from the white house to jail. He shouldn't pass go and he should not collect $200

He conceded!  \n\nDidn't have a small enough margin to call for a recount. And Allen is due to concede, as well, so it's officially a Democratic majority in the Senate!

Let's see, Rummy ran away, (not sure why he resigned,) Cheney has become nearly invisible (have you seen him lately ?) It would have to be a tie between those two. I almost feel sorry for Bush at this point. It LOOKS like he's left holding the bag, so to speak. \np.s. - I don't recall "you" being an option. People on here are testy today.

Because W doesn't care about homeland security. He's done nothing but lie, cheat, and steal from the American people since the day he took office. This is gonna blow up in his face tho, i bet now they are gonna wish that that guy that Chenay shot would have died so this wouldn't have come into light. P.S. i've been talking about this for almost a week now but nobody seems to care.

He was charged with leaving the scene of an accident ---- the popular belief at the time was that he and his friend, Mary Jo, were drunk and driving home together - he lost his way and plunged into the water ---he was able to swim to safety - Mary Jo could not-  The scandal lingered because (1) he left the scene and did not appear in public until the next day (when any alcohol, if any, would have been gone from his system); and (2) he was a US Senator and married, and he was coming home late with a co-worker, a single female, presumably from a party.  I think only the Senator knows what truly happened that night - it was a tragic accident - whether or not there was addtitional wrongdoing (e.g. driving under the influence and involuntary manslaughter) will be taken to the grave by the Senator --- The accident certainly took a toll on his family life and certainly his presidential ambitions. Given the many many years of faithful and extremely productive service he has given this country, I believe the scales of history will tip in his favor when history looks at him. Remember to err is human ..to forgive ....certainly not Republican.

There is no law that says he has to step down as a senator for any reason; if found guilty of an offense he can be publicly censured, but the Senate has no limitations as far as how many terms one senator can serve.  There have been many that have served for over 40 and 50 years...not a bad accomplishment, considering Senate terms are six years each.

yeah go toot that horn somewhere else. Do you not know all the lies that Bush told to send our young men to war? What I say is why don't they stay out of peoples bedrooms and take care of the boardroom. Who gives a shit if Clinton got a little on the side and lied. do you know a man who has cheated who admitted it from the start? Not! Maybe if Bush would get a little on the side his mind wouldn't be so full of shit he might be able to speak in complete intelligible sentences. I would much rather have a lie about sex than a lie about lives.

I totally agree with you it does not make sense to me either. I can only assume he was more of a figure-head than a real treasurer. Although there were some reports that he was sick and in hospital for a time. Even then there should have been a deputy to brief him, so this should not be an excuse for not being fully informed when he got back into his job. Unless of course he was sidelined by other executives who knew he did not do the job properly!

I question all politicians integrity.It's unfair to single out Cheney or Hillary.Assume all of them are slimy until they prove different.

Let's get one thing straight.  He did not "resign".  Bush asked him to leave.  In all of the previous calls for his resignation, he had said that he serves at the pleasure of the President.  That said, it's not a cut-and-run.  It gives the American people and the American government a fresh start-someone who can lead the war effort without having to worry about what the American people will think.  Rummy will always be blamed for anything that goes wrong with the war, so now it's time for someone who can honestly say, "I wasn't the one who was running it from the beginning, I just want to get the job done, and as quickly as possible.  I don't want to dwell on any possible mistakes; the past is the past, and this is what we have to get through."

he can be impeached for high crimes and mistemeaners. So there would have to be a specific charge.  If he was given erroneous information and he thought it to be true, then it is not a lie.
