Reid shares Senate ideas

Democrat values Lieberman's votes




Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., defended Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman on Wednesday after the former Democratic vice presidential nominee accepted a speaking slot at next month's Republican convention in Minnesota.

"He has a close personal relationship with John McCain. I don't fully understand why he does," said Reid, who said Lieberman called Tuesday from the Republic of Georgia to alert him to the move.

  • "I told him last night, 'You know, Joe, I can't stand John McCain.' He said, 'I know you feel that way,' " Reid said.

    But Reid said he would continue to resist calls from the Democratic Party's base to strip Lieberman, now an independent, of his Senate positions for his disloyalty.

    "All my close votes, he's always with me, whether it's the budget or energy issues," Reid said. "No matter what it is, he's always with us. He just does not vote right on Iraq. ... Why would I want to throw away a good vote?"

    Reid repeated his familiar criticisms of McCain in a discussion with Review-Journal staffers Wednesday, calling the Arizona senator wrong on the issues and saying the Republican, who arrived in Congress the same year Reid did, "does not have the right temperament" to be president.

    Lieberman, who was Al Gore's running mate in 2000, has been mentioned as a possible running mate for McCain.

    Reid said he hoped that wouldn't happen, because "there's a Republican governor in Connecticut," apparently meaning that's who would appoint a replacement if Lieberman resigned from the Senate to campaign.

    Talking about Democratic vice presidential candidates, Reid momentarily had trouble keeping them straight.

    Reid had just been talking up the credentials of Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., whom he called the "odds-on favorite" to be this year's running mate, when he pivoted to take a question about Lieberman.

    "I have a good relationship with Joe Biden. I have great respect for Joe," Reid said. "He was driven into some of the positions he's in because the far left took him on in the primary. ... I've done a lot to protect Joe Biden."

    Asked whether he meant Lieberman, Reid, whose stream-of-consciousness speaking style often leads to such flubs, corrected himself.

    During the hourlong colloquy, Reid also forgot the name of former Virginia Gov. Mark Warner, a Democratic Senate candidate, and the Title IX legislation giving women access to school sports programs.

    Although Reid cautioned that he was not privy to the vice-presidential selection process, he was effusive in his praise of Biden, who took a shot at the Democratic nomination and won praise for his long resume and debate performances even as he attracted few votes.

    Reid said he admired Biden for his devotion to his family. Biden's wife and infant child were killed in a car accident just weeks after he was elected to the Senate in 1972, leaving him to care for two sons. He commuted from Washington, D.C., every day to raise the boys, one of whom is now Delaware's attorney general.

    Reid also praised the international-affairs savvy of Biden, who chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

    "You could take all 100 senators, Democrats and Republicans, and I think they would all agree that the most knowledgeable person on foreign affairs is Joe Biden."

    Reid was less enthusiastic about two others he named as top contenders, Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine, whom he called "an interesting choice," and Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh. Reid noted that Bayh's father, Birch Bayh, was a senator and saved Massachusetts Sen. Ted Kennedy's life in a plane crash.

    But Reid cautioned, "I know the press thinks they've narrowed it down to Kaine, Bayh and Biden, but I think there are other people in the running, and I think we could be surprised."

    Reid said others who might be under consideration are New York Sen. Hillary Clinton and New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson, both former presidential competitors of presumptive nominee Barack Obama's.

    "I really don't know who's going to be the vice president," Reid said. "I have talked to Obama on quite a few occasions, mostly telling him who I didn't want."

    Reid wouldn't specify who might have merited that list of undesirable running mates.

    Ron wrote on June 15, 2009 02:58 AM: Well Molly, I can see why you and Harry Reid have trouble understanding the close personal relationship between Senator's Lieberman and MaCain. Both men put loyalty to the country above loyalty to the party. I'm sure thats difficult for political hacks like you and Harry to comprehend. Both Lieberman and McCain are men of strong character, Harry is a pathetic weasel. Correct me if I'm wrong, didn't Harry vote wrong on the Iraq war also? Staying true to his weasel nature, when the political climate turned on the war, Harry abandoned the young American troops he voted to place in harms way. Harry "the war is lost" Reid, what a great leader. By the way, if Joe Biden is the most knowledgeable person on foreign affairs in the senate, we're all screwed.

    Larry_W wrote on August 22, 2008 04:00 AM: Knowing that Harry Reid "can't stand John McCain" gives me another reason to vote for John McCain. Although I'm not very happy with John McCain as one of our Presidential choices, I could NEVER vote for the extreme socialist that Obama has shown himself to be. I'm in good company, because it is quite clear that the Founding Fathers of this great nation would agree with me unequivocablly.

    David Hilton wrote on August 22, 2008 03:41 AM: No one in the 220 year history of the US Senate has ever "resigned from the Senate to campaign", for Vice President or President. James Garfield was actually first elected to the Senate WHILE campaigning for President, and never served in that body. What Sen. Reid meant by referring to the Republican Governor of Connecticut was obviously the scenario that would transpire if Sen. Lieberman were sworn in as the next Vice President of the United States.

    Pathetic.


    archie wrote on August 22, 2008 12:46 AM: Lieberman's response should have been "That's OK Harry. Most of America can't stand you either."
    It is also, one thing to be knowledgeable about foreign policy and another thing to know what to do with that knowledge. Albright was the Dem poster child on this.


    marty wrote on August 22, 2008 12:33 AM: Whatever happened to the claims that the Democrats would bring on a new era of bi-partisan cooperation for the good of America? Reid and Pelosi sure don't get it. They seem to truly hate the other side and are willing to cooperate only if moderates and conservatives completely abandon their views. What a crock of bull.


    heyverne wrote on August 22, 2008 12:05 AM: "Can't stand John McCain, (the Republican). Reid must have an earned Doctorate in the subject of "Well,DUH!".
    It isn't McCain the man he doesn't like really. The reason Reid flees to Leiberman is the same reason Pharoh's magicians produced more frogs and flies when the original plagues were frogs and flies. 'You see! WE have a maverick too! We can do the same thing!' I find it hilariously ironic that the icon he trots out is as centrist as McCain, of whom he is terrified. Because he knows, McCain is, like Leiberman, the same as he was yesterday. He doen't have to fake a MOVE to the center like Obama. He lives there, the center, the heart of the American electorate is HOME to both, and the voters know it. Both McCain and Leiberman possess integrity. What terrifies Reid, and people hate what terrifies them, is that this is a Republican.....who.....can......WIN.

    Jim wrote on August 21, 2008 09:27 PM: TIM,
    You are about as full of it as PINKY is. Those 8 years were not so great. A surplus on paper is not a surplus. That C/S slick willy stripped our military to the bone in order to have a surplus then all you D/A people want to blame Bush for sending our troops to war without the proper body armour etc. Well MR TIM where was the Body Armour that Clinton bought??? A lot of people like you are losing their houses because they are so G/D ignorant to think that money in the bank is a good thing, even though their rent/house payment is not paid or way behind. Some LIB DEMOCRAT will come along and blame Bush because their house payments were not paid and tell them "IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT". Stupidity will get you no where, wake up. Money in the bank and bills not paid does not equal a surplus. If you remember the Republicans had majority control of the house and Senate during Clinton. We were doing really good up til about 18 months ago when the DEMS took control of the house and Senate and after raising minimum wage and declaring National Apple Month, things came to screeching halt. Now unemployment continues to climb, but it has nothing to do wit minimum wage increase, B/S.
    I dream of the day Pinkly is in a crosswalk in front of me and my brakes fail. That is what I can do for my country. Pinky hates himself and therefore he can never Love another, just not possible. I hope his insides are being eaten alive with all his hatred of others. Total embarrassment to the nation and Nevada. A youtube phenom.

    Oh, so a Republican forgets or makes a minor mistake, and they are too old or senile to be in office, but Dingy Harry, who looks like the banjo playing boy from Deliverance grew up and went to Washington, just flubs.

    I bet if you were talking about a land deal, Dingy Harry would remember.

Sure, things have been tough the past two years, but to imply that McCain will be a Bush clone and will sink the ship is irresponsible. Electing Obama would be like putting the parking lot attendent in charge of General Motors.


    ThinkerRay wrote on August 21, 2008 06:05 PM: Mr. Reid reaps what he sows. He hates John McCain and millions of Americans hate Harry Reid. The harvest of hatred is larger than Reid sows. It will cost Mr. Reid his job and respect. Hate is a strong emotion and it drives people to do irrational and stupid things and say mean and unacceptable word. I trust Harry Reid gets what he is sowing into life.


    Tom Chase wrote on August 21, 2008 06:02 PM: "I can't stand John McCain"...what a comment. I have been a rather close observer of the Washington scene for a bit more than twenty years. I say that the problems in our governance boil down to "there are no more statesman". That kind of mean spirited personal opinion added to the public record in an off- hand fashion is just plane wrong. I can not imagine our founding fathers going public with such a comment. Yeah, sure they might have thought that kind of thing... but say it for the public record as an aside... never, they had too much honor, self restraint, manners and love of the United States of America for those kinds of comments to be made public. To what end, to what good can that type of adolescent comment help Congress move forward in this time of national challenge? Mr. Reid, do you suppose that sort of comment will help in any fashion with the number of current issues we face? The economy, the war on terrorism, fuel prices, you name your favorite topic Mr. Reid... how has that comment helped us form a united front to solve our common problems? I call you Mr. Reid in full knowledge that the proper honorific for your station is Senator or Majority Leader. Is this the comment of a leader, I think not. Neither do you deserve to be honored with the title Senator, Mr. Reid. You stain the office and dishonor the people you are in Washington to serve. Shame, shame, shame. You sir, are an uncouth miscreant.

Vote against his conscience just to spite the Dems? This congress is ineffectual because of Republican lock stop interventions and because they don't have a super majority. Also McCain isn't a hero. H's just a guy that did what he had to. Look everyone, Democrats can make a post without typing words in all caps. lol

    Dingy Harry will go down in history as leader of the biggest do nothing Senate in the history of the country with the lowest approval rating in US history! There's a legacy you can be proud of dingy Harry!

    When congress's approval rating was 23% Newt Gingrich did the honorable thing and stepped down.

    When San Fran Nan Stretch Pelosi has a 9% approval rating she calls Bush an utter and complete failure and she writes a book on how to be like she is! LOL Only from the Left is such blind raging narcissism so rampant!

    Now we have Barry the empty suit Oprah candidate tooting his horn. Look at me Germany I'm the Kind of World I've become the symbol of America! I'll heal the earth and cause the oceans to recede! Never mind I have no experience, no qualifications, and no accomplishments look how great I am the affirmative action candidate!

    And the useful idiots get tingles up their legs and faint! I can't even make this stuff up really. It stuns me that 45% of our country can actually be supporting this guy.

    We have $120 trillion dollars worth of shale oil sitting in the ground in Colorado and North Dakota because Democrats say they're afraid of an imaginary temperature rise 100 years from now!

    Exxon Mobile paid 48% in taxes last year so that's $56 TRILLION DOLLARS IN POTENTIAL TAX REVENUE that we can't get because DEMOCRATS continue to block our drilling for it! We could easily pay off our national debt with that!

    Barry says we should all just go inflate our tires and get over it! How can any self-respecting man or woman with half a brain still vote for this party of misfits and miscreants is beyond me!

If Israel wasn't the only truly important issue for Lieberman, he wouldn't be speaking at the Republican convention because, according to Reid, Lieberman regularly sides with the Democrats on issues, but these issues evidently are small potatoes compared to anything that benefits Israel in Lieberman's eyes.


    Nemsud wrote on August 21, 2008 02:57 PM: That comment on the Iraq vote hits the main issue. The Democrats cannot get us out of Iraq. They knew that they could not, but they used the line to get the votes.

Nancy "one more lift my eyebrows are my scalp" pelosi- too bad she will not be around to see just how poorly people think of the evil wench.....

He's a good Mormon who does an outstanding job helping out the unions who then turn around and get him re-elected. I mean really, he cares about the housing crisis, high energy costs, lost jobs, and helping out his son who is a nice lobbyist.

    I'm sure with his years of experience in congress that he's done everything he can to fix all of these problems over the years. Could someone else do a better job?

And who the hell does Harry Reid think he is tell anyone that they don't vote right on anything.

    To nooneyouknow:
    If Bush had actually committed an impeachable crime he'd have been impeached by now. You and the other moveon types don't have a shred of evidence to prove that Bush waged the Iraq war for profit therefore he remains in office. Let it go! It's a dead horse. Stop beating it unless you've got something new to say. You guys are like a broken record forever whining about evil neo-cons and war profiteers as if that's who and what the actual troops on the ground in Iraq are fighting for. As for McCain if he had actually had anything less than strong reservations against advocating for Charles Keating he would have been removed from the Senate along with the other 4 Senators (all Democrats I might add) all of whom denied any wrong doing on the part of John McCain.

Nothing, he has been absent for a majority of his voting. Wow, voting by proxy... That means he is not in the loop, nor does he know what his state needs. I tell you, all you people that want him in are going to be shocked. Oh, and who the heck cares how many houses McCain has. It is his wifes money. Did anyone care when Terrrresssa Heinz Kerry was funding John Kerry 4 years ago? NO. He is a democrat. That would make you look within your messed up imbred families for answers and have to admit wealth is on both sides of the isle.. So get a grip and vote for a real person. Someone who fought for his country, not the racist preacher who hates America.

    He's corrupt and his only job as Senate Majority leader has been to promote the Bush agenda and help the military industrial complex strip Americans of their rights and their economic security.
    We should recall that the removal of Nixon from office began in the Senate with the Watergate hearings.
    You haven't heard so much as a whimper from Reid who, together with his sons, is too busy raking in big bucks from shady real estate deals to bother about crimes in high places.
    If the Democrats were a real political party Reid would never have been given leadership of anything, let alone the Senate.

    By the way Harry you promised in 2006 to get the troops home if you won the Senate. What happened? Guess you wanted the issue to run on again, eh? McCain got the surge to happen because he had the guts to stand for it and deliver on it. Same with George W. Bush who has more guts in his pinkie than Read and his whole crew have put together.

    Bush = McCain = Realness, victory, and awesomeness. Harry Reid = Cruddy. That's the name of that tune.

They'll find the true quote bears little resemblance to what you posted.

    Unfortunately, many today are more than willing to simply voraciously consume what they read on the Internet, which has become nearly devoid of fact. What we need is some healthy skepticism.

    As far as Harry Reid, he's unfortunately a more typical politician than most.

    It is pretty telling about how much you care about advancing the Democratic Party Line more than the good of the country, when the best reason for Lieberman to stay in the Senate is if he left, a Republican would be appointed to replace him.

I would like to know how much money he gave Pickins to invest in nat gas and the other fuels. Polosi has a lot of money invested in Pickins plan but no one talks about it. This was on Drudge about two weeks ago. harry reid has block every bill that would allow drilling in Alaska and off shore, he would rather keep the prices high so the poor of this state suffers. harry reid is the cause of our high energy prices and no one else. Every time I hear on the news that food prices are going up cause of the cost of distribution and fuel sur-charges, I blame harry reid.

And, I really think we should all feel safer now that it is done. As far a gas prices go, if prices are cheap alternative fuels are too expensive. So prices have to be higher. It is better for us that way. We won't get sick. Mr Reid promises that. And I really think he believes it. Of course he is a sickly man all the time anyway. So maybe he is just HOPING for a CHANGE.

    This guy is Senate Majority Leader for one reason. None of the real Democrat movers and shakers wants one of their real rivals to have the job. Harry Reid is just their javelin catcher and water boy.

    He is truly the worst Senate Majority Leader in my lifetime and a complete joke and embarrassment to Nevada.

    Funny...two years ago, when the hollow-eyed hippie and her tuna boat bunch took control of congress; gas was $1.59 a gallon...and Barry Houssain keeps saying how screwed up everything is...his dimwit pals have been in control for TWO YEARS and have accomplished NOTHING meaningful...except Pelosi penned a book she can't sell and needs a bigger jet to ferry her mooching family from coast to coast on the taxpayers dime.

    CHANGE...WHAT FROM WHAT INTO WHAT?

    Less than 200 days on the job and it's ALL above his "pay grade."

They believe the ticket to gaining power and popularity, and retaining it, is creating class envy and taking from the haves to give to the have-nots.

    Does he mean by that that Biden would agree, too. Knowing Biden's ego, he would. Or maybe Reid thinks there are 101 Senators. I think this Majority Leader of the Senate is about to go the way of the last one, Tom Daschle, who was voted out for behavior very similar to Reid's.

Recently these two have learned from some of the people who vote that they are against the desires of our Citizens. It is not correct for two democratic people to restrain the workings of congress to the detriment of our Citizens. We must elect more republicans to once more balance the congress and thereby get our fuel back up to what we can pay. These two democrats have shown us that we can not allow the democrats to legislate when they do so with out the necessary understanding of what we as citizens want. Lets all vote until we have the legislature in a better alignment with the needs of the citizens. It is completely incorrect for only two people to unbalance our economy whether they be republican or democratic. AND, we need to replace these two with people with a better understanding of the needs and requirements of our economy...

He's an embarassment to the nation. He personifies the very definition of the word "TRAITOR." He committed an act of TREASON when he stood on the Senate Floor and proudly procliaimed "The War In Iraq Is Lost!" while our young men and women were over there fighting and, as it turns out, WINNING the war against terrorists. Yet Harry Reid would have you believe we lost merely to support HIS PERSONAL AGENDA of being against the war and wanting to bring home the troops.

    What Reid did was to use HIS position in the Senate to bring Aid and Comfort to the enemy. And that's an act of TREASON in ANYONE'S book. I hope some returning vet has the courage to spit in your face for the way you have disrespected our troops.

    There are very few life forms lower than a coward who uses his stature in the Senate to utter such treasonous words from the Senate Floor, but that's about all Reid is capable of. So if he says he can't stand John McCain, that just SOLIDIFIES my support for John McCain. As for Harry Reid, I'm just wondering how it is that nobody has declared him brain-dead!

    Funny how our economy was ticking along nicely at a growth rate of over 4% annually for the first 6.5 years of the Bush administration with a Republican congress and it took our wonderful do nothing democrat congress just over a year to trash the whole thing.

    Harry Reid has no character, no personal convictions, no backbone. Even during the controversy over Mitt Romney's religion during the primaries, when it would have been a fine upstanding thing for Harry Reid to step up and speak up to tell people that he too is a member of the Mormon church, and that it shouldn't matter, Reid instead chose to stay silent.
    Harry Reid is almost a cartoon for what an immoral politician is supposed to act like.

Why don't you try something totally different than anything you've ever done in your political career and try like the rest of the country to get along with each other. Us 'working class' folks interact with each other every day regardless of our politics and for some strange reason unbeknownst to the likes of you, WE GET ALONG! Get a clue politicians---its YOU who are dividing our country!!!


    Glenn Bratcher wrote on August 21, 2008 09:55 AM: Harry Reid is such a dunderhead. Who cares what he thinks, if that's even what he does, which is questionable. Not being liked by Reid will be a positive attribute for the vast majority of Americans and the ones who like and respect him are so far left that they're probably treading water somewhere in the Pacific.


    wiiiam wrote on August 21, 2008 09:54 AM: A man as shallow as Reid, could not be expected to like or understand a man like John M. as he stands for things that a wimp like Reid will never understand. Harry Reid is not only a self-serving person, he is in my opinion, a coward, that hides behind the office he holds. Never will forget, THE WAR IS LOST. How in the H, does the stae of Nevada, put up with such a wuzz.


    Nona wrote on August 21, 2008 09:54 AM: Aren't the Democrats being rather childish? Reid's comments makes me think of "My Daddy can beat your Daddy". The GOP seems to be focused on issues and Dems on childish name calling.

    Hey you sniveling little rat, who cares whether you like McCain or not. You are nothing more than political lackey for the democratic / socialist party - in all your years name something you have done for this country other than get your name of the short list for mortgage breaks.

    Remember your ratings in the public opinion polls is still far less than George W. Bush's Ratings - that's why when your name comes up in conversation you are referred to as "Worm"

We need to vote out these people who do not follow the will of the people. Pelosi is the biggest offender, she refuses to allow a vote on the energy bill, a new House Leader is needed badly.

I am sure that Osama has his ear bent in Reid's thunder storm Fay like directions as to who to select for VP. Both the thunder storm Fay and Reid are lost and destructive in any direction they go.

McCain was up to his neck in the Keating Five scandal and some other little adventures, including his coverup of the existence of American POWs being held in Vietnam after the war (don't believe me? Google it); Reid has abdicated his responsibility to his office and the American people to enforce the Constitution against the crimes of Bushco. Both are prime examples of how devolved American national politics has become; neither should be in any kind of public office.

    joenz wrote on August 21, 2008 09:21 AM: I had not heard much out of Reid lately. As a new voter (19 years of age) I am trying to become active and knowledgable in the political environment. From reading this article as well as a few others, Reid can't help but come off as an elitist. Saying that "He just does not vote right on Iraq" makes him come off as very arrogant. Who would say of a friend "his beliefs are wrong, mine are right." Wouldn't most people say "I disagree with his stance on Iraq" which would respect the other person's opinion?

    I'm looking forward to voting for McCain/Romney this winter. See ya at the polls!

I am still waiting for the good Senator to apologize to our military and their families for his "the war is lost" comments. He is a "handwringer" who needs to be replaced.

Since they are not willing to bargain in good faith on anything at all, the work of the people is simply not getting done.

    No one has to "like" one another, but they have to represent the people of the country. I do not think Harry Reid has any idea about what that actually means.

How in the world could a young college student or high school student interested in politics ever look up and respect him with his ineffectiveness, weakness, and lack of social graces whenever it comes to interviews. He gives his State a bad reflection because of his lack of graces and appropriateness.

Why can't the politicians allow the warfighters to do what they do best - which is to fight wars? We have the best technology, but ever since Vietnam, we have tried to fight wars via politcs - that does NOT work.

    Also, the talking points about oil drilling taking "10 years" to benefit us - how long do they think it'll take to reap the benefits of alternative fuels? There's a WHOLE infrastructure that needs to be built (hydrogen fueling stations, etc) - that's going to take as long as they say the oil benefits are going to take.

    It's so frustrating when our elected officials do NOT work for our best interests - they are supposed to be "of the people, for the people, and by the people."

    a President Who Hunts or Fishes

    John McCain is the preferred Presidential candidate among sportsmen,
    as well as the preferred sporting partner

    WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sportsmen have a solid history of voting, with 9 in 10 currently registered to vote and of those 83 percent say they will vote in the November election, according to a new survey by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. Overall, there are an estimated 40 million sportsmen of voting age in the United States.

    "Sportsmen are active voters and prefer candidates who align with them on hunting and fishing issues," said Jeff Crane, president of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. "The attention presidential candidates give to sportsmen's issues is well-aimed."

    Among sportsmen, Republican John McCain holds a significant lead over White House opponent Barack Obama, with a 14-point margin according to the survey.

    Asked who they planned to vote for in November, 45 percent said McCain and 31 percent said Obama.

In 2006, when Lieberman was forced to run as an Independent to remain in the Senate, the Connecticut dems all abandoned him at light speed, instead supporting Ned Lamont, an unknown hard left winger. Lieberman was a Connecticut senator for years, pressing the interests of the constitution state in D.C., before being abandoned by his constituents and colleagues. Lieberman should not feel any sense of loyalty to the party that abandoned him, and all because he supports the Iraq War. Harry Reid is a another example of the creeping socialism that might just destroy our great nation. Give em hell Joe.

    a President Who Hunts or Fishes

    John McCain is the preferred Presidential candidate among sportsmen,
    as well as the preferred sporting partner

    WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Sportsmen have a solid history of voting, with 9 in 10 currently registered to vote and of those 83 percent say they will vote in the November election, according to a new survey by the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. Overall, there are an estimated 40 million sportsmen of voting age in the United States.

    "Sportsmen are active voters and prefer candidates who align with them on hunting and fishing issues," said Jeff Crane, president of the Congressional Sportsmen's Foundation. "The attention presidential candidates give to sportsmen's issues is well-aimed."

    Among sportsmen, Republican John McCain holds a significant lead over White House opponent Barack Obama, with a 14-point margin according to the survey.

    Asked who they planned to vote for in November, 45 percent said McCain and 31 percent said Obama.

When the Dim's recognize that the gig is up and they can no longer demonize the other party, maybe the ratings of Congress will rise. Leadership is what we want. First party to show it will win. Dim's only want to fight, fight, fight. Just listen to a few Hillary/Obama speeches. That's all they say. What are they fighting for?

    Good for Mr. Lieberman. He is once again proving he is a good and loyal man that wants to support and stand by his friends regardless of what a bunch of pointless elected individuals who have done NOTHING to unit our country. Who have done NOTHING to improve relations. Who have done NOTHING in the time they have been elected except fight the opposing party. Good or bad, makes no difference just as long as they don't agree with the opposing party. They don't even know what they are suppose to do in Washington.

    Gene wrote on August 21, 2008 08:15 AM: Ok Political Science, I will tell you what I do not like about Reid or Pelosi's ideas, everything. The federal government is to regulate interstate commerce and provide for a common defense. That is the only power granted by the constitution. Reid and Pelosi are socialists. They believe the federal government should manage every aspect of life in the United States. They believe in redistribution of wealth from doers to the lazy do nothings. They believe in turning healthcare into a program like social security. These types of programs can not be contained and will not be sustainable as we are now seeing with social security. A free society that realizes it can vote itself unlimited benefits and then does so is a society that can not be sustained. It will default at some point and become a centrally controlled society to control the chaos. Reid says we should take food and oil off of the free markets. WOW!! Doesn't this bother anybody but me? Who sets the price? Washington? Remember what I said about central control? Don't talk to me about progressives. You have to be communist, stupid, or both to be a progressive.

    If Bush is an ignoramus for his inability to put his thoughts into words, then so is Reid. What a polite way to excuse Reid for his inability to understand what he is talking about.


    MarkD wrote on August 21, 2008 08:15 AM: So is Harry Reid saying that he can't find another democrat who sees eye to eye with him to take Liebermans place? Just a giant club of protecting each others asses. C'mon Harry Reid grow a pair.


    T.H. Almond wrote on August 21, 2008 08:15 AM: (Regarding Molly Ball's excellent report)-- Harry Reid is a spineless, whispery voiced, vacuous, shadow of a man.

    Reid, along with that moron Pelosi - represent everything that is wrong with the US Congress. The alleged 'defenders' of free speech claimed they were going to usher in a new era of bipartisanship and openess in Congress. What they've really done is make Congress even more divisive, secretive, and they're accountable for the most useless Congress in history.

    If Reid had any honor at all, and he doesn't, he'd take his own life!

Now we are looking at McCain, who has to have everything written down in front of him or whispered in his ear. When he wings it, everything sounds like Bush is talking. That's why he won't allow reporters on the "Bus" anymore. They print all of his blunders. Once again the US will have the dumbest sounding leader on the planet.

    Really, you guys need to find a progressive to proofread your posts before submitting them here.

    Ad Hominem: 1 : appealing to feelings or prejudices rather than intellect (e.g. "Hapless Harry" or "Peelosi"). 2 : an attempt to argue against an opponent's idea by discrediting the opponent himself. 3: a personal attack.

    Rather than engaging in a bunch of ad hominem name-calling, tell us SPECIFICALLY what you don't like about the people's ideas with whom you disagree. Ad hominems tell us nothing and are just lazy attacks.

Senator Reid is of similar political quality as that author, albeit, of politically opposite polarity. Citizens of Nevada, clearly you can do better and choose more wisely.

Had he been a Republican he would have been hounded to death with a million false accusations in as many fairy tale stories about his private business dealings.

Bush has done a terrible job as President and I'm trying to figure out who Obama really is since he flip-flops on so many issues. last thing we need is Reid two cents. He should have been jailed for making false charges against the Marines for murder. They were all freed because it was bogus... and Reid helped with his false comments to the news media.
