#1 There will be a house cleaning next year. Project of the moment is to minimize the damage this group of clowns does before they start collecting their unemployment checks.

#2 While I certainly agree about minimizing the damage, it is unfortunate they will not collect unemployment, but rather, Congressional Retirement, including (I assume) the swell health care plan they have today.

So, when you think about it, the longer they stay in office, the lower the number of retirees on the public dole. A disadvantage of term limits, I suppose.

#3 Now that would be change you could believe in. "Reid's in trouble?" Usually he is a source of trouble.

#4 I'm a Nevada voter who is also a) poor (working poor, I hasten to add), b)has a disabled child, and c) is in the NRA... in short, exactly the sort of fellow that's supposed to vote for Reid per his local political triangulations.

And I'm still not going to vote for him. Here's why:

1)Though Reid isn't as bad as some, he's still the classic conservative at home, liberal when in DC Democrat. In northern Nevada he doesn't even put the fact that he's a Dem on his campaign material. Just a motto that says Independent Like Nevada... while he's the head of the damn Democratic party. Good grief: exactly how stupid does he think we are?

Which brings us to point two:

2)Reid lies a lot. I mean, A LOT. We're all sick of it. We're sick of Ensign too. It's not a partisan thing. They both need to go... and I hate to say that, because I always liked Ensign.

3)For its population, Nevada is the third largest contributor to the military in the country. Reid had a pretty good relationship with the military, but he's mucked that up totally now.

4)Doesn't mean he still won't win...somehow.
