It appears that the Democrat Party is closer to imploding than the Republican. How else to explain the ongoing attempts by Democrat Party Chairman Howard Dean to destroy Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid?
According to knowledgeable DNC sources, Dean about ten days ago was shown
opposition research documents generated by the Republican National Committee
more than three years ago, which laid out facts regarding Reid and his family's
lobbying and ethical conflicts.
Dean, according to the sources, was fascinated by the details, and asked that his
staff research and independently confirm everything on the documents. "Basically
he oppo'd a member of his own party," says a DNC source loyal to Dean.
"Basically, we were looking at three- or four-page documents that made Jack
Abramoff's lobbying work look like that of a rank amateur," says the DNC source.
"Between the minority leader's past in Nevada and here in Washington, and the
activities of his sons and son-in-law, there probably isn't anyone in this town with
more conflicts. The Reid family is the symbol of what's wrong with Washington; it's
their behavior that enabled the culture that spawned people like Abramoff."
