This site still seems filled with, "How dare you criticize a Dem?!?!?!"

"Bkkk bkkk bkkawww! Bought and Paid For!"

Randi would consider me a bad boy.

4. total fuckhead!
I hate Harry!

The best he could come up with for why he does not support him is "not electable". FUCK YOU HARRY! Dennis has more integrity and courage in his little toe than you will have in a lifetime! Fuck you!

5. My favorite election scenario
returns Hillary Clinton to the Senate to kick Harry Ried's corporate ass out of the Majority Leader position. She would be pure dynamite in that position and he will be best forgotten.

19. I have no problem with Hillary being returned to the Senate,
but I don't think replacing the DLC corporatist with another DLC corporatist is going to change much.

7. Makes you wonder whether the occasional good rants coming from
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 03:11 PM by higher class
him about Republicans is with their permission.

I wonder if whether someone studing what Harry Reid says in a rant would find that he is only ranting about House procedures and controversies. Not the issues as talk about everyday.

Pelosi and Reid - there must have been some deal cut. We are NOT represented where we need representation.

This one about Kucinich is too much.

10. Yes. Such elitist snobbery coming from Mr. Reid. To me it
further confirms to me the myth that we have bought and how much we are being lied to.

We don't have political parties.

We have wealthy people posing as "Republicans" or "Democrats", when in reality what we have is the Super Mega rich corporateering families versus everyone else.

We don't have political parties we economic parties. The rich versus everyone else.

21. I think you have phrased it precisely. We play around with the reality
of our discoveries and then revert to trying to be Democrats, then we have more proof that the rich are divided in a pretend situation - Dems and Pubs. They are all about controlling us so that they can move forward and up. What a see-saw as we go through this period of discovery.

Look what they have done to our social programs.

They may be more masterful in rhetoric than the Republicans.

Reid and Pelosi are vote brokers - just trying to make it look good - from their smoke and mirror team.

I can never respect him again. And I'm up to here in hearing this 'not electable' crap coming from one of our representatives. We now have a Senator Pundit. Truly disgusting. He has his right to free speech, but he is expected to be for Democrats and he is supposed to know diplomacy and keeping the upbeat.

16. The disconnect from reality is disturbing
Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 03:21 PM by shance
and almost pathological in many ways.

They spin around town in their limos, never reading bills or the laws they pass that destroy lives, jotting off to another cocktail party, winking and waving at each other with their martini glasses from across the room. And after the parties, time to hit the bars!.....

This is so much of what is what is running our country.

DLC, along with those who comply with their marching orders, is also the reason why the party is FUBAR.

I thought the people said who was electable. He influences in a manner that is just like Republican tactics.

18. Why, again, is Kucinich "unelectable"?
Because the media, the corporate puppet-masters and -- now, for all the world to see -- his own party hate and despise everything that is good and decent about America, that is why.

Go to Hell. Or "outer darkness", if you prefer. Just get the fuck out of MY party, and let Chris Dodd, or someone else with a set of balls run the Senate.

Edited on Thu Jan-17-08 03:34 PM by Mr_Jefferson_24
...with an unassailable track record for serving the people. There is no more qualified candidate than Kucinich.

Harry only disgraces himself with these remarks. He can't stand Kucinich because DK is everything Harry wishes he had the courage, honor, and decency to be, but knows he never will.

29. "Hey Harry, Tell Us More About The Land Deal You Don't Want To Talk About"
Hey Harry, Tell Us More About The Land Deal You Don't Want To Talk About
Topics: Political News and commentaries

From the Associated Press via Jawa Report:

Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid collected a $1.1 million windfall on a Las Vegas land sale even though he hadn't personally owned the property for three years, property deeds show.

In the process, Reid did not disclose to Congress an earlier sale in which he transferred his land to a company created by a friend and took a financial stake in that company, according to records and interviews.

Apparently Harry hung up a reporter last week when questioned about the deal.

First it was Foleygate, now we have a Harrygate. Yes folks, politics is a rough and dirty business, but someone has to take advantage of the rest of us poor slobs. Meanwhile, back in the real world, the terrorists are raising hell in Iraq, Iran wants us and Israel to disappear off the map, North Korea is threatening nuclear war, and Islamists all over the world want to kill us.

I wonder what will get the most coverage from the media. My bet is Foleygate, after all, Harry is a Democrat, and terrorism, North Korea, Iran, and the Islamists that want to kill us don't play into the Democratic agenda. If it doesn't have to do with attacking Bush or the Republicans, the Dems are not only not interested, they haven't one iota of anything to offer. And surely neither they nor the media want to talk about the dirty skeletons in the Dem's closet.

32. When Truman was president, people said

"Give 'em Hell, Harry!"

With Reid, we must say "Go to Hell, Harry!"

Dennis Kucinich is one of the few real Democrats in Congress (and I include the Senate as well as the House.)

Our majority leaders are just terrible, House and Senate. They don't lead and now this asshat is dissing a Democratic candidate. Didn't his mother ever tell him "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"?
