Harry Reid a Hypocrite Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has taken to the floor of the Senate to denounce Republican benefactors Charles and David Koch as shadowy billionaires who rig the system with massive political contributions. Its a charge that this pundit terms an act of hypocrisy. There are some billionaires out there whom he likes very much, as long as they are willing to spend their money to help him hang on to his present position. Some people call this smart politics, while others simply see it for what it is: hypocrisy. Reid needs Democrats to hold onto the Senate in November if he is to remain majority leader. This means Reid needs to find deep-pocketed friends of his own, such as Tom and Jim Steyer, billionaires who stand to lose if the Keystone XL pipeline ever actually gets built. Tom Steyer made a fortune as a hedge fund manager and advocates for alternative energy sources. He funded the creation of the TomKat Center for Sustainable Energy at Stanford University. Jim Steyer is an author and environmentalist who teaches at Stanford. The conservative group American Commitment said in a release that the Steyers have pledged $100 million to liberals if they will promote [Reids] lockstep anti-American energy agenda. Roff observes: Its easy to tell the billionaires backing Harry Reid and other liberals are the bad guys — because theyre the ones trying to impose massive new energy taxes on you, kill the Keystone pipeline, and enrich themselves by directing your tax dollars to their green energy Ripp-Off schemes. He adds that Reid and other liberals rhetoric makes them sound like they hate the rich but really they love them — as long as they are writing checks to the right people and the right groups.
