GOP hits Reid and others for raising money in Canada

Republicans spent Monday hitting several Democratic Senate candidates for raising money at a convention of trial lawyers in Canada.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (Nev.) and at least eight other Democratic Senate candidates were at a reception for the Committee for a Better Future on Sunday in Vancouver, British Columbia.

I don't think anyone should be in a foreign country raising money for their own election or anyone's election.  It seems the job now of every elected official in this country is to raise money to stay elected instead of representing the people who voted them in.

I wonder if anyone has ever done a comparison of time spent actually doing the work of a Senator or Representative vs how much time they spend fund raising?

Is that your excuse for everything in life? It's ok as long as someone else did it first? God I hope you don't have kids.

It seems obvious that it's 100% fundraising.
