The following information was sent to me. I have quoted it in the same format as I received it. I post it just to demonstrate how you can effectively "spin" just about any topic that you want to. The majority of our politicians have just perfected the process of "spinning"
"It all depends on how you look at some things....."
"Judy Wallman, a professional genealogy researcher in Southern California, was doing some personal work on own family tree. She discovered that Congressman Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing, train robbery in Montana, and escaping from prison in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor." "Reportedly, Remus Reid was apprehended by the Pinkerton Detectives for prison escape, train robbery, stood trial, convicted, and sentenced to hanging."
"The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory:"
Judy Wallman contacted the Congressional Office of Senator Reid, to share her information with her cousin. The following is a excerpt of the letter that she received from Senator Reid's office:
"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory. His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic fund raiser held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."
Watching Senator Harry Reid (D-Nev) since he became Majority Leader reaffirms my convictions that the "Acorn Does Not Fall Far The Tree". The backroom deals, ("Louisiana Purchase", "Corn Husker Compromise", and others to numerous to list") that he has cut in an attempt to get the medical bill through Congress would indicate that perhaps he has a little "larceny in his heart". But I am not here to judge ~ just to present the facts!
