Once Again, Harry Reid Devolves into Delusion, Dementia or Simple Stupidity

Harry Reid is living proof of the old adage that you're never too old to learn something stupid.  Of course, learning something stupid is no excuse for saying something stupid.  Apparently this hasn't occurred to Dirty Harry.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid downplayed polling that shows his Democratic Party in danger of losing its slim hold on the Senate, saying that if the November elections were held today, “we’d be just fine.”

Now, I'm not declaring a sweeping victory for all Republican senatorial candidates this November 4th, but most national polling indicates at this point in time that Republicans will most likely achieve a majority in the Senate.  The question for most polling is based upon what the majority will look like in the numbers for Republicans.  But all this hasn't deterred Harry Reid from dribbling out more mental diarrhea.

The Nevada lawmaker admitted the “election is not today — it’s 48 days away.” But he noted that reports that have suggested the conservative billionaire Koch brothers have slowed their fundraising efforts this election cycle was a good sign Democratic candidates are gaining momentum.

Leave it to Dirty Harry to weave a diatribe on the Koch brothers into his delusional dialog.

Reid dismissed suggestions that President Obama’s sagging popularity among voters will hurt his party’s struggle to keep control of the upper chamber, saying the midterm elections aren’t a referendum on the administration. Continue reading Washington examiner

Meanwhile, Democrat Senators in trouble in Red States are running away from any connection with President Obama faster than it takes a hooker to get paid before business.

Harry Reid Bends Over & Screws his fellow Democrats & Himself


This is just too good to pass up, although it appears to have gone unnoticed by the MSM.  Harry Reid managed to screw himself and Democrats in one less than swift political move.  This is what happens when a weasel tries to out think a raccoon or whatever you call those establishment Republicans these days.


Actually, Reid was simply trying to put Republicans in a bad light as obstructionists once again, but he got caught in his own trap  I am quite certain that when Republicans agreed to vote for Reid's Bill, he must have become apoplectic.  So what was the Bill that Republicans voted on to debate?


Now why would Reid object to this, since some very liberal Democrats have been kicking this topic around for month?  The answer is actually quite simple.  The Republicans somehow actually managed to do some strategic planning that didn't backfire for a change.

Please reread the above paragraph.  Reid never expected that Republicans would agree to vote to bring  such a ridiculous Bill to the Senate floor to debate,   Oops!

The simple explanation for Reid's apoplexy is that the Republicans can now take up valuable floor time on the Senate floor debating the Bill and this will substantially reduce Reid's opportunity to put forth other real legislation Democrats want to act on before the November 4th congressional midterm elections.


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.

GOP Gives Reid What he Wants, Challenges Freedom of Speech, Now He's Mad?

By Elizabeth Nelson

Senator Ted Cruz tried to warn all of us, earlier this year, that the Senate Democrats were trying to change the Constitution and restrict our freedom of speech, because spending is speech, but no one would listen to him, because he is Ted Cruz and he's a Republican.  Well guess what, the "obstructing GOP" has given the Senate what they wanted, to chance to, in their feeble minds, "restore responsible spending (because this won't change contributions) limits," and "overturn Citizens United." 

You see, the Citizens United decision had nothing to do with "contributions" to the candidate, as Harry Reid went on attacking the "evil Koch Brothers," because the Supreme Court decision never changed "contributions," it only said the spending on ads was "unlimited," not how much one could contribute to the Candidate's campaign, for their expenses. 
Isn't it strangely ironic how Unions gave to the Democrats and outspent the Koch brothers 15 times over, yet there's no outrage and there's not even a "smiden of evil" attached to their character or name?  And the Koch brothers have even given to the Democrats who "hate" them but love their money, yet this is all about them, and stopping their giving.

Like I said, Ted Cruz tried to warn everyone that this was coming and 41 Democrats signed on to this bill, but none of you wouldn't listen, even you, you mindless, cantankerous, tales-from-the-crypt old fart, but now this is the GOP's fault, because they gave you what you wanted?



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. Read more Washington Examiner

Yes, now Harry Reid is ticked that the bill he supports will actually see the light of day on his Senate floor and will actually have to be voted on, because now it will go on record, for the entire world to see, exactly what he and his Senators believe about our  First Amendment right, because spending is speech.
However, we all know how this will eventually play out, it will be the Republican's fault for "not stopping it," even though "41 Democrats were signed on to the bill" in affirmation of it.  Oh, we all know that won't matter, that part will be rewritten history, just like Obamacare, where "not one Republican signed in the affirmative" yet somehow, that's our fault too.
