Harry Reid is mad that Republicans didn't obstruct his bill |
2014-09-09 |
![]() After Monday's bipartisan 79-18 vote, Reid vented to reporters that Republicans were trying to "stall" the Senate, indicating that he never intended for the campaign finance amendment by Sen. Tom Udall, D-N.M., to go to a real floor debate. The move not only guarantees a lengthy debate over Democratic efforts to limit the First Amendment, but it also limits the amount of time left for debates over other doomed measures on gender pay equality and the minimum wage, which were intended to frame the coming elections for Democrats as they defend their Senate majority. |

#10 Did Harry Reid kiss a persimmon Or is he just sour on women? Perhaps he'd prefer an opossum Whose possumhood has yet to blossom? It's true that "The Good Fight" engages; His story just leaps off the pages! At Mead on the beach in his Speedo, He's called the "libido torpedo!" Like Harry, I'd never spread rumor (did I mention that Harry's a groomer)? Two more lines and I'd claim this a sonnet, But that's too old for Reid to jump on it. |

#9 All today's vote did was move to debate the amendment on the floor of the Senate. It has no chance of getting the necessary 2/3 vote to move on from there. That's the idea, Rambler. |

#8 In the very unlikely event that this amendment ever passes, it should be called "The Incumbent Protection Amendment" or the "Goodbye First Amendment Amendment". All today's vote did was move to debate the amendment on the floor of the Senate. It has no chance of getting the necessary 2/3 vote to move on from there. |

#5 Dingy Harry - otherwise know as Hairy Reed (yes, I know what I spelled) - ALWAYS looks like he just ate a green persimmon, DB. Which, if he did, would explain his hateful attitude. |

#4 He was all set to paint the Republicans as bought and paid for by Big Money and they rained on his parade. That picture makes him look like he just ate a green persimmon. |

#2 Harry Reid is mad. Would have saved some ink and been just as accurate. |
