Harry Ried hoisted by his own rhetorical petard
2007-10-02
Rhiel World View

So, I decided to visit Democrats.Senate.gov and have a look at the letter Harry Reid used in a weak grand standing ploy today.

‘Our troops are fighting and dying to bring to others the freedoms that many take for granted.


Freedom from whom, or what, Senator Reid? And, as you've now admitted our troops are indeed freedom fighters on behalf of the oppressed, what is it about Iraqis that causes you to be of the opinion that they are not entitled to the same freedoms which you believe Americans take for granted? Is it their religion, or perhaps the color of their skin?
Or is it OK if your country's enemies triumph as long as your party wins the next election?

You've been trying to pull the carpet out from under our brave freedom fighters in Iraq for almost two years at the same time many of them have re-enlisted knowing they'd immediately rejoin the fight. What do you have to say to those brave Americans, Senator Reid? You've said nothing positive to them ever, so far as I can recall. Would you prefer Armed Forces Radio carry your pronouncement that their valiant effort has already failed? Tell me, how is that supporting our troops?

#9  I'll go with Cyber Sarge on this one,

Dim-Harry-Reid-the-Grim never has won an election by a large margin, in fact everyone has been outright slim IIIC.

I think since his Las Vegas property corruption scandal broke, and his disgraceful positions attacking our men and women serving and the fight with talk radio host, RUSH, that he chose to start will do him in.

LOL, I can't wait to see the Tee Wee clips of him skulking off for good!

#8  In defense of Nevadans, Harry has kept a low profile til this last year, seeming congenial by Donk stds, and only mildly corrupt by Clinton standards. It's the Peter Principle writ large, with the spotlight, "to know him is to despise him". I'd guess that, with his incompetence, he's not that popular among the nutroots either

#7  'Our troops are fighting and dying to bring to others the freedoms that many take for granted.'

Yeah, very true. But there are plenty of people who appreciate their efforts who are unfortunately mixed in with those very same liberals . . . .

#6  Harry Reid is the poster boy of how incompetent you have to be in order to get elected to the Senate. If I was a Nevadan I would be embarrassed and humiliated by the fact that our state IQ is so low we had to elect him to represent us. My God, does this man have no shame or even common sense? He calls our troops "incompetent" and the war "lost" then trys to use remark, that he takes out of context and reality, to show some kind of super support. Little does he know, that Rush is carried on AFN and that it is carried by them because the troops requested it. He and his ilk continue to do more damage to the Dems on National security and defense than even Rush can do. Keep talking Harry, you continue to show your absolute idiocy.

#3  I don't know CS. My contacts in Nevada, particularly the ballooning Vegas metro area are reporting a massive inflow of Californians, escaping the social/economic cesspool they help create, are unrepentant and looks like they will continue their behavior by backing Reid.

#2  Ilisten to Rush and he was clearly talking about Jesse "Killer" MacBeth when he referred to "Phony Soldier". Since Harry twisted words to fit his agenda I will go on record as calling Reid a "Phony Patriot". BTW do the Donks really think that nobody remembers the CLEAR hits on the military by Reid, Kennedy, Murtha, Pelosi, et al? Do they want to go down this road? I also want to point out that when Reid runs for re-election he will be defeated by a very large margin.
