Why did Reid make such stupid statements?

[CrusaderFrank]

You are another useful tool of the Far Right with those silly statements.

Go check RCP in the swing states and come back and tell us what you found.

Romney has to drop the Tea Party now, not tomorrow, not a second from now, just now.

Reid does not care about the GOP at all.

He is trying to rattle the centrists, and in the swing states, along with the growing dislike for the TPM, the Dems are making ground.

I hope we are able to counter.

You're not a very good comedian. Centrists, independents, swing voters......whatever you want to call them are sorry they voted for Obama and won't again. The numbers are beginning to swing against him as are the lack of contributions. His days are numbered and none too soon as we can't survive another four years at this level of incompetence.

Bad news, Jake.

Romney is dropping you instead

You know, the funny thing about this is that Michelle Bachman tried the same thing with her allegations about the Muslim Brotherhood having an in at that Obama Administration. Nobody bought it. Her own party ripped her a new one. And she shut up about it. She did accomplish what we all thought was impossible though; that she is even more batshit crazy than we originally thought.

But the gambit was exactly what Harry Reid did and it struck a chord and continues to resonate. Today the Governor had to make the first of what will be many more revelations--saying that he never paid less than 13%.
