Showing Original Post only (View all)I'm sorry, but I'm so tired of Harry Reid [View all]
I know he's done some great things for us behind the scenes over the
past years.......and I guess I agree on this lying thing which I hope
the fuck doesn't back fire, but we need some young blood running our
party. Even when Harry is at his best calling out the republicans on the
floor, he looks like my grandfather sitting on the front porch yelling
at the kids in the street. I know there are not a lot of dem. senators
out there to choose from, but that "Bullpucky" or whatever word he used
has got to go. I'm just saying........We desperately need some new aggressive young bloods
representing our anger, fear, dreams and hope out there.

I'm 31, and wondering why you suddenly objected to Reid when he grew a backbone.

Not happy? Why don't you run for office yourself? Do you even help with campaigns?

Plenty of reasons to criticize Harry Reid but being old is not one or them, imo.
