Harry Reid's lack of integrity

Red States:

The activist Left has given us ample evidence over the last several months that the narrative is more important than the truth, and Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV)10% all but confirms this in his latest interview. Reid, if you will remember, said the following from the Senate floor prior to the 2012 Presidential election:

“So the word’s out that he hasn’t paid any taxes for ten years,” Reid said. “Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t. We already know from one partial tax return that he gave us, he has money hidden in Bermuda, the Cayman Islands and a Swiss bank account. Not making that up, that’s in the partial year that he gave us.”

In the years that have followed since then, has Reid come to feel any remorse over his lie? After all, once an older Senator announces his retirement, sometimes he decides to be a little more honest in his views, since he doesn’t need to please people to get reelected.

However, Reid still stands by his remarks. Courtesy of the Washington Free Beacon we have this footage of him telling CNN’s Dana Bash that his lie about Romney was justified because “He Didn’t Win, Did He?”

One of the criticism of Ted Cruz is that he is a politician with sharp elbows, but Cruz is a man of integrity who argues based on the facts and he doe snot have to lie to make his case.   Harry Reid has shown that he is willing to lie to win.  That is not an admiral trait, and it explains much of the dysfunction that has plagued government since he became speaker.
