Reid snaps back at Cheney on Senate floor
RAW STORY

Washington, DC – Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid gave the following speech on the Senate Floor tonight.

Remarks as prepared for delivery:

“Tonight the Vice President has come out of his bunker and is speaking at a gathering of Washington DC insiders, which is closed to the press.

“Unfortunately, he brought his bunker mentality with him. He is repeating the same tired attacks we’ve heard from administration officials over the last two weeks.

“In the last 24 hours, 10 of our brave soldiers have been killed in far off Iraq. On such a night, you would think Cheney would give a speech that honors the fallen and those still fighting by laying out a strategy for success.

“Instead we have the Vice President of the United States playing politics like he’s in the middle of a presidential campaign.

1. yeah and CNN devoted a whole 30 seconds to it. n/t

:banghead:

[mourningdove92]

2. Wow, tough words.

Loved the line about Chalabi.

Looks like its on!

[Sanity Claws]

3. Great!

These repugs are not used to dealing with Dems with spines. They have no idea of what to do but the same old shit that doesn't sell anymore.

[FreedomAngel82]

31. I agree

First Kerry and now Reid. I love it! No more playing dead!

[Snotcicles]

4. That's our boy, Give'm hell Harry.n/t

[Gman]

5. Reid got the ball rolling and the GOP doesn't know how to stop it

And even if they could, it's too late now to try to stop it. There's too many lies, too much deception and too much truth now coming out and glaringly apparent.

Hope Reid doesn't get Wellstoned. Reid's not naive either. He stood up to the mob in Nevada and Las Vegas. The mob tried to take him out and failed. He can stand up to anyone and not blink.

[FreedomAngel82]

32. Rove has faced his match with Reid

Reid can kick Rove's ass!

[fearnobush]

6. CNN needs a smack down. They are so Right wing partisan it's disgusting.

How to stop them from shilling these lies, I don't know, Interfering with their ability to spread these lies I suppose is illegal. But a way must be found to save the country from their mind meld.

[Cha]

21. That's why I'm waiting for

Independent World Television with bated breath.

I'm hoping they give "chicken noodle nooze" the "SMACKDOWN" you suggest!

22. it seems our last e-mail barrage helped during Katrina

I'm sure that receiving thousands of emails,all criticizing them for their partisan reporting,might get their attention.Plus,the sponsors.I have done this before,locally with some success.
Jack cafferty is a good one to email...he may be conservative,but he is a no-bullshit guy,and says things the others are afraid to.It's a start.

7. They've gone from "misleading" to "deceiving"

The White House needs to understand that deceiving the American people is what got them into trouble. Now is the time to come clean, not to continue the pattern of deceit.

Reid's upping the rhetorical ante.

[beyurslf]

24. And next we move to "LYING"

[rumpel]

8. I am amazed he actually said "bunker".

[rodeodance]

9. “In the last 24 hours, 10 of our brave soldiers have been killed" he

reminds us what this is really all about!

[donco6]

30. Yes - ZING!

That had to leave a mark.

[FreedomAngel82]

33. I thought that was funny

:P

[William Bloode]

I differ with olHarry on a few issues,

But he has been worlds better than "Uncle Tom" Daschle. Who seems to be finding his voice now when we could have used it 3-4yrs ago.

[FreedomAngel82]

34. Oh yes!

He and Nancy Pelosi are great together! I hope next year we can impeach the bastard Bush and fire his whole administration and put in Nancy Pelosi and it would be great if Reid was her VP. Now imagine that team!! I love Harry (only was disappointed with his bankruptcy bill vote).

[rodeodance]

10. "his bunker mentality " te he--good one!

[mitchum]

11. Give 'em hell, Harry!

[necso]

12. "counterpunches" would be

better than "snaps back at".

Harry, he's a pugilist, but he's also a stylist.

...

And yes, I am aware of the source.

[SammyWinstonJack]

13. Reid better be careful lest Cheney tells him to *go fuck himself*

:yoiks:

[Tom Joad]

14. Fine that he criticizes Bush. However, i do not want a ..

"strategy for success". I want the troops out of this illegal, immoral occupation.
Cut the funds off now!

[Justice Is Comin]

15. General Reid taking up where Patton left off.

[Cha]

16. Excellent Reid!

Like my avatar says..!

[Tuesday_Morning]

17. Go get 'em, Harry! n/t

[rateyes]

18. Every time they blast away like that...

Pelosi, Durbin, Reid, etc. they end with the words, "America can do better." It is a great line people KNOW is the truth. America can do better. America can do better. I'm changing my sig line to "America can do better."

[Catamount]

19. Harry is more impressive every day!

I'm wondering if his response is to the very latest Cheney vomit-- like I heard on AA just minutes ago, or to an earlier one today?

[NightOwwl]

20. In honor of Harry Reid, my new sig line...

[Catamount]

25. LOL

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[FreedomAngel82]

35. Love it!

And he fought, literally, for his wife. So romantic. And he's so cute there. :P I would love to see a video of that. Great picture here:

[childslibrarian]

23. kick

:bounce:

[Just Me]

26. Harry, let us ALWAYS point out those fuckers' priorities,...

,...each and every single day!!! Their priorities: to profit (for the love of money), to lie, to rationalize, to attack, to manipulate, to excuse, to betray BETRAY the very values they "misuse" for purposes of exploiting their own people.

Hit those assholes low and hard, without relent!!! The people deserve a victory against these barbarians!!!

:woohoo:

[democrank]

27. Reid`s comment about our soldiers

being killed in "far off Iraq" really hit me. Far off in Iraq....How could Cheney possibly relate? No Secret Service protection, no undisclosed location, no room service, no limo driver. It`s not a Dick Cheney kinda world over there. That place is for the cannon fodder.

[novak goes postal]

28. Give 'em Hell, Harry !

[Lifelong Protester]

29. Damn good stuff!

Let's keep that 'tude going.
