Harry Reid threatens obstruction if Romney wins.

[Stephanie]

We could get rid of half the people in this Congress.. A lot of them are nothing but crooks, liars and shysters who should be in jail..
And they are sitting up there MAKING up and passing silly laws, tax and fees against US like what kind of light bulb we need to use..

Harry Reid is all of the above...nasty nasty crooked man

Kick them all to the damn curb would be fine by me

Today, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pledged to stonewall any attempt by Mitt Romney to pass his agenda if elected. “Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” spat Reid. Of course, when Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested two years into President Obama’s presidency (after the stimulus package and Obamacare) that Obama’s failures to lead in bipartisan fashion made his defeat his first political priority, the left went insane; they still cite the line as evidence that McConnell wouldn’t let Obama get anything done. But Reid is doing it before Romney even takes office.

Said Reid: “Senate Democrats are committed to defending the middle class, and we will do everything in our power to defend them against Mitt Romney’s Tea Party agenda.”

This is the supposed bipartisanship the Democrats stand for.

From Reid: We Won't Work With Romney

Harry Reid laughs at bipartisanship

by John Hayward @ Harry Reid laughs at bipartisanship | Conservative News, Views & Books

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, who spent the last few months insisting that little voices in his head told him Mitt Romney didn’t pay any taxes for the last ten years, decided it would be a great idea to threaten Americans into voting for Barack Obama, by promising endless bitter partisan gridlock if Mitt Romney wins.

“Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” said Reid in a statement reported by the Washington Times. This works great if you combine it into a scorched-earth hyper-partisan cocktail along with Barack Obama telling his supporters that voting is an act of vengeance against people they hate:

And remember, Obama’s silly little picture book that supposedly outlined his big second-term agenda was entitled “The New Economic Patriotism,” which implies that people who disagree with his tax-raising plans are unpatriotic – far from the first time he’s made that accusation. Boy, the days of “unity” and “hope & change” are distant memories, aren’t they?

Reid is specifically trying to deflate Romney’s claim of being better at working across the aisle than Obama is – a claim indisputably supported by the two candidates’ histories. Romney isn’t the one who ran around “I won” and telling his opponents to “go to the back of the bus” after becoming governor of Massachusetts. Romney isn’t the one who passed a few thousand pages of Constitutionally dubious paradigm-shifting legislation in the dead of night on a party-line vote, after making an utter fool of reluctant votes in his own party, like Bart Stupak. Obama’s idea of “bipartisanship” doesn’t even extend to recalcitrant Democrats.

But as to Reid’s specific threat, it makes excellent campaign fodder for every Republican Senate candidate. Remember, a vote for any Democrat is a vote to keep Harry Reid as Crypt Keeper of a Senate where every good idea, including dozens of pro-growth bills passed by the Republican House, goes to die. Every swing voter in a tight Senate race should see only Harry Reid’s face when they walk into the voting booth, not whichever Democrat is on the ballot.

Harry Reid has already cost you a lot, my fellow Americans, and not just in stalled legislation. Just the other day, the House Oversight Committee released an investigation of the Energy Department’s corrupt loan program, and revealed huge piles of taxpayer cash were pumped into Reid’s district to get him re-elected in 2010. No matter what state you live in, you put money into Reid’s re-election slush fund. He’s not up for re-election this time, but you can vote to make him Minority Leader, by voting for your friendly neighborhood Republican Senate candidate.

Americans always tell pollsters they hate “gridlock.” Well, here’s Harry Reid, openly threatening gridlock as your punishment unless you vote the way he tells you to. He’s as blatant about it as anyone has ever been. Do you want to prove that you really mean it when you tell pollsters how much you want a government that gets things done? Here’s your chance. Break Harry Reid’s heart on Tuesday, and put the rest of the Democrat caucus on notice that you’re not willing to settle for another four years of malaise and finger-pointing.

Update: A perfect response to Reid’s gridlock theatrics from RNC chair Reince Priebus: “I am encouraged that Harry Reid recognizes Governor Romney’s momentum and is joining the hundreds of millions of Americans who are preparing for a Romney Administration. While Senator Reid might want to continue Washington politics as usual, I’m confident that there are many Democrats who value balancing the budget, reducing burdensome regulations, investing in U.S. energy resources and will be willing to work with Governor Romney to help grow our stagnant economy.”

BETTER VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR SENATE: Reid Says He Can’t Work With Romney

by MacAoidh @ http://thehayride.com/2012/11/better-vote-republican-for-senate-reid-says-he-cant-work-with-romney/

Who’s the worst person in American government?

Why, it’s Harry Reid, of course.

Five days before the election, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has ruled out trying to work with Mitt Romney should he win next week.

“Mitt Romney’s fantasy that Senate Democrats will work with him to pass his ‘severely conservative’ agenda is laughable,” Mr. Reid said in a statement on Friday, trying to puncture Mr. Romney’s closing election argument that he’ll be able to deliver on the bipartisanship President Obama promised in 2008 but has struggled to live up to.

And then just a little more…

“Mitt Romney has demonstrated that he lacks the courage to stand up to the tea party, kowtowing to their demands time and again. There is nothing in Mitt Romney’s record to suggest he would act any differently as president,” Mr. Reid said.

Because Harry Reid stands up to the loons in his party all the time, right?

It will take a net GOP gain of three seats in the Senate to make Reid the minority leader.

Republican-held seats in Indiana, Arizona, Nevada, Maine and Massachusetts are in jeopardy, which in the worst case scenario would make it necessary to win eight Democrat seats to put Reid’s tyranny-of-the-majority out to pasture. [GOP candidate here in Nevada waaaay ahead of Dem!

There are eight such seats possible – though it’s our guess the GOP won’t need quite so many (Jeff Flake will hold the Arizona seat for the Republicans, and Richard Mourdock has a poll showing him barely ahead in Indiana, which the Obama campaign has given up on; we think he’ll hang on despite his falling into the pro-life-rape trap, plus Scott Brown isn’t dead in Massachusetts yet and Dean Heller is likely to win re-election in Nevada).

Rick Berg is likely to win a close race in North Dakota.

Deb Fischer is going to pull through in Nebraska.

George Allen is as likely to win in Virginia as not. The polls are back-and-forth on the race with neither Allen nor Tim Kaine showing much sign of a breakout.

Linda McMahon is a little behind in Connecticut, but given the little-recognized chaos going on there in the aftermath of Sandy and what it could do to the Democrats’ turnout there, don’t count her out.

Connie Mack is a bit behind in Florida, but he’s being written off thanks to two laughably pro-Democrat polls put out by the New York Times and PPP; outside of those polls the race has been consistently within the margin of error. It wouldn’t be a surprise for Mack to make a late surge and top Bob Nelson.

In Missouri, Todd Akin ran within two of Claire McCaskill (46-44) in a Mason-Dixon poll last week. Though other polls have the race further apart than that, most of them are Democrat polls (with a 51-43 Rasmussen poll from two weeks ago the exception), and other than a poll put out by the McCaskill campaign and the Rasmussen poll just mentioned, McCaskill doesn’t poll above 47 percent. Given the way Akin has been demonized and outspent to date, the idea that McCaskill hasn’t been able to put him away means that race could very well go differently than everyone assumes. She should not be under 50 at this point, but she is – even her internal poll only has her at 53.

Denny Rehberg is in a dead heat with Jon Tester in Montana.

The most recent poll in Ohio, done by Republican firm Wenzel strategies, has Josh Mandel with a 50-45 lead over Sherrod Brown. That poll is a bit of an outlier, but then the majority of the Ohio polls have been done by national firms polling the presidential race with grossly pro-Democrat skews in the party-ID of their samples.

In Pennsylvania, Bob Casey is consistently polling below 50 percent against Tom Smith with the exception of three polls by Democrat firms. The race is too close to call, and Smith clearly has the momentum – as does Romney in that state.

And in Wisconsin, Tommy Thompson is neck-and-neck with Tammy Baldwin. That race will come down to the ground game, and the GOP’s ground game in Wisconsin is legendary – not to mention well-tested thanks to the endless failed recall elections there.

Ultimately, this means of 15 seats that will decide the Senate there are 10 currently in Democrat hands, and only a slight overperformance by GOP candidates in the polls – which GOP candidates typically do – would move the Senate into Republican hands.

And put Harry Reid out of his job as majority leader.

Which needs to happen, coincidentally. Because in the event Romney wins, we now know Reid isn’t capable of productive leadership. He just told us so.

What’s more, Romney has a record of working across party lines. When has Harry Reid ever done that?

This is a man who continues to promulgate the proven lie that Mitt Romney is a tax cheat. Without evidence, and without remorse or apology. He can’t govern.

Neither can Obama, as we’ve seen.

Perhaps Romney and Mitch McConnell can do better. One imagines they could produce a federal budget, something Reid has refused to do for four years.

What's the point of all the last minute whining and demonization? Are you under the impression that there's some army of invisible lurking undecided voters here, all just waiting to be swayed by one of your long rants?

There are no undecideds, and nobody reads long posts anyways. You're wasting your time. At this point, it's all just smack-talking.

 

[Pasco08]

Well what do you Republicans expect after you have done the same thing to Obama what comes around goes around.

What do you think about Reid's comments? Let me help you. Pretend he has an "R" after his name.

 

[Dreamy]

Well what do you Republicans expect after you have done the same thing to Obama what comes around goes around.

And the Dems did the same to Bush....and a round and a round we go.

So are you saying this is a petulant leader from the Democrat party just doing "neener neener neener"?

Why not then when Romney can't do shit we can call him a Failure as well.

Or we can give him two years to fix something as big as the economy then start blocking everything Just like Republicans did to Obama. Whats Fair for one is Fair for the other.

 

[mamooth]

What do you think about Reid's comments? Let me help you. Pretend he has an "R" after his name.

If it was a Republican, I'd congratulate him on his very surprising honesty.

For example, the current Republicans in Congress have been the most obstructionist group in the history of the USA, yet they all lie brazenly and pretend that the President refuses to work with them. It would be refreshing to have Republicans who are honest, like Harry Reid.

 

[Dreamy]

So Reid supporters like the round and round petulance and stonewalling in government?

 

[mamooth]

So are you saying this is a petulant leader from the Democrat party just doing "neener neener neener"?

Nope. We're saying they all do it, but only the Republicans lie about it and pretend they don't.

And you're plainly fine with that. You've admitted both sides do it, but you only get enraged at a Democrat for telling the truth, instead of calling out Republicans for lying. Why do you kiss the asses of liars?

 

[Pasco08]

So Reid supporters like the round and round petulance and stonewalling in government?

Republicans started this what you don't like the game you guys play and don't like it when others play it? Lols Don't be such a flaming hypocrite.

Grow up with the 'mom, he did it too'.

It's wrong when the GOP do it. It is wrong when the Dems do it. Two wrongs have never equaled a right. Not ever.

Reid needs to act his age, instead of his shoe size. And so do you. '

 

[mamooth]

Cal Girl, given your claimed opposition to partisanship, please put on record your unconditional condemnation of the entire current Republican House, which has made it a point of pride to oppose the president in every way.

Obviously, you don't have to, but you'd look like less of a rank hypocrite if you did.

 

[Dreamy]

So Reid supporters like the round and round petulance and stonewalling in government?

Republicans started this what you don't like the game you guys play and don't like it when others play it? Lols Don't be such a flaming hypocrite.

I can't stand it when Repubs do it either. Must I say that every time or can you follow this simple concept. I hate government stonewalling and petulance.

So once again, this time it is about Reid, what say you? Was he in the wrong or not? Is he making government better or worse with this attitude?

 

[Dreamy]

So are you saying this is a petulant leader from the Democrat party just doing "neener neener neener"?

Nope. We're saying they all do it, but only the Republicans lie about it and pretend they don't.

And you're plainly fine with that. You've admitted both sides do it, but you only get enraged at a Democrat for telling the truth, instead of calling out Republicans for lying. Why do you kiss the asses of liars?

This thread is about Reid. I address each wrong within government as they come. Try it sometime.

Is Reid wrong in what he stated?
