Another reason NOT to vote Democratic — hypocrisy from Harry Reid

Of course, as the vote shows, he IS leading Senate Democrats

The Democrats’ Senate Minority Leader has again called for stiffer intelligence agency oversight
“All of us as Americans need to review how the Bush Administration cherry-picked and hyped the case for war with Iraq to sell it to Congress and the American people, so we can make sure it never happens again,” Reid said … at the YearlyKos convention.

Of course, this is the same Harry Reid who voted in favor of National Security Agency illegal-telephone-record-and-domestic-phone-call-snooper-in-chief Michael Hayden to be the director of the Central Intelligence Agency.
Shock me that he would be a featured speaker of the “win first, principles later” Markos.

Of course, Reid wasn’t alone. Democrats present and voting favored Hayden by a 25-14 margin. That includes alleged liberals and civil liberties stalwarts such as Byrd, Leahy and Levin.
