Headzup: Harry Reid Refuses To Flex His 60 Vote Muscles

[greptor]

The only way the Democrat's (i.e. liberals) will get anything done is if there Emperor (Obama) nuts up and suspends the constitution, then he can strip the United States of all the parasites that bog the liberal world down the Christian Religion, conservatives, anybody with moral's, basically sane people. only then can the leftist's obtain total freedom and achieve there just rewards

[HADESRULE44]

hey guys im 15 and i dont really know what a blue dog democrat is can someone tell me?

[A86]

A Republican. That's basically all there is to it, lol.

[Max20854]

The Democrats always accused Bill Frist and Tom Delay of being bullies when they where in power.

Another Democratic Double Standard!

GO BLUE DOGS!

[migkillertwo]

maybe mr. Reid is, I dunno, NOT a fascist and understands that we shouldn't use a 60% majority as an excuse to initiate force.

[thismindofmine]

Or MAYBE the party should use this opportunity to change and add legislation that will make this country better because its obviously what the people of these representatives' states want. If we didn't want change, there wouldn't be a super majority.

[migkillertwo]

perhaps you should learn that our country is a REPUBLIC and not a democracy. Majorities cannot initiate force against minorities just because they're in the majority. Perhaps Reid even understands the doctrine of enumerated powers clearly outlined in the constitution

[thismindofmine]

Agreed. It is a republic. And I'm not suggesting legislation that is radical should be pushed through due to an obvious advantage of popular ideas and thought. I'm saying something should be done. Specifically an annulment of a lot of Bush's clearly unconstitutional "legislation". Look up executive orders and enjoy the read.

[WhirlingWolves]

Fuck Harry Reid. I hate that fucking punk as badly as I hate bush and cheney. He will ALWAYS have some fucking excuse for why the dems can never get anything done.

And why? Because his little wimpy boy act is just that. AN ACT. He does'nt want to institute health care reform. Just like he and Pelosi never really wanted to end the Iraq war or impeach bush.

To them being a democrat is just a mask they wear for the benefit of the suckers who believe their LIES.

[A86]

The Democrats need to get rid of these corporate pussies and get hard-hitters like Dennis Kucinich and Bernie Sanders. Seriously.

[whitewolf323]

With democrats like this, who needs republicans.

[Smartassawhip]

For a list of Dems that are going against this health care reform along with their phone numbers please visit my profile. People we need to call all of these people and let them know we want this. Thanks.

[bart11114]

Well There's Ben Nelson, Mary Landrieu, Blanche Lincoln, Tim Johnson. and a few other blue dogs.

[Smartassawhip]

Yeah... I have all their numbers and many more.

[rustybird2000]

Thanks for the numbers..I will be calling to tell them to vote it down.

[cdguy24]

How the hell is this clown still a "leader" in the Senate? If he can't get anything done with 60 senators he never will

[DillonX]

It looks like the DEMS will pick up 2, 3 or more Senate seats in 2010.

Will that be enuf Harry, or do you need to have 90 seats TO GET UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE FOR AMERICANS?

[ultimatetalesfan19]

you wish, you will lose your majority status in both parts of Congress and Obama is next.

LOL

[funkyflights]

Really ? Is that why the latest polls show 20 percent of America considers themselves republican ? LOL... better check your stats.... the PARTY OF NO is at it's lowest and will be hopefully forever.....

[ultimatetalesfan19]

and Democrats are less than 30% and dropping every day, white people are leaving in droves and you will never get them back.

Although I am a Republican, I could careless about the low amount of people in the party, as long as Liberals in either party are stopped.

The real battle is Conservatism vs. Liberalism, and you all are about to be stomped out.

btw I am not even a Conservative, I don't believe in limited govt., I believe that people don't need government at all.

[funkyflights]

Sorry ... YOUR wrong.... liberals will not be stomped out... get use to it..

[ultimatetalesfan19]

yes they will, you think you can get away with running the schools, the media, the unions and pretty much everything, but you won't once I come to town.

It is time the true far right comes out to give our boys and girls up in the capital some cover, your organizations will be attacked and destroyed relentlessly, and there will be nothing you can do about it.

Up until now we have only been fighting the battles on one side at a time while you have fought on both sides, that will change.

[funkyflights]

Dude your so far right you lost your left arm.... maybe you forgot what the last administration and how there policies ignoring the middle class dam near bankrupted the country.... NO WAY is America so stupid to trust the right wing agenda....

[ultimatetalesfan19]

Bush wasn't a true a Conservative, he was just the closest thing we have had since his father and his father wasn't exactly Reagan either.

The only ones hurting the middle class(which I used to be a part of btw until Obama, although that is partly Bush's fault as well) are Obama and his cronies along with prince Harry and Pelosi, increasing taxes hurts everyone, while decreasing taxes helps everyone.

Bush started screwing up when the Dems came into Congress

[funkyflights]

Do you honestly think families are worried about taxes when there paying insurance premiums of up to 14,000 a year ? I mean seriously... families would SAVE MONEY if these outlandish premiums for health care were lowered... so how ridiculous does it sound to say increasing taxes hurts everyone when it will HELP everyone to get a national health care plan... your making no sense..

[ultimatetalesfan19]

Premiums are high because they have a large monopoly on some states and they can do whatever they want, making them compete across state lines will force them to lower costs or they will go out of business, defensive medicine reform will also lower the cost by billions.

The government would just be a monopoly itself and since it has to control the budget as well, it would have no choice but to drop people to save the economy, the government can only be stopped by the government.

[funkyflights]

That's a good start.... I agree they should cross state lines and it should also be illegal to deny coverage for pre existing conditions... problem with health care insurance is... there always gonna charge more for the sick ... kinda like car insurance does for people with bad driving records... that's and unfair system from the start.... that's why I feel government needs to step in to protect it's citizens....

[ultimatetalesfan19]

no you can't make them cover people with pre existing conditions, it costs too much and that in turn increases premiums.

They have to charge more for the sick because it costs more to take care of them, that is why just having them compete across state lines isn't enough, you need to stop junk lawsuits with medical liability reform and then the private insurers can lower costs even when they cover the sick and poor.

the government would be a monopoly and would be even worse for the sick.

[funkyflights]

I will not accept the USA not getting national health care for it's citizens because of junk lawsuits.... personally we need to go to a single payer system for ALL citizens and remove profit and greed from the system... insurance companies belong in Auto, home and life... they do not belong in health care... IT FAILS... and to say the government would be a monopoly that's worse for the sick is ridiculous... government is not about profit like insurance companies are...

[ultimatetalesfan19]

the government is about balancing the national budget. Other than cut existing programs, it cannot do anything to reduce spending.

The insurance companies don't have a national debt to worry about so all they need to do is stay in business,.

[Kapan60]

LOL at the idea there is any difference between the Republicans and Democrats. Who voted for the "War on Terror", the Patriot Act, warrantless searches and wiretapping?

Bush didn't do all of that by himself.

[RedNymph234]

bi partisanship is so stupid! we need to be united and to stop arguing and get the job done!!!!!!

[mavaddat]

Democrats are the only partisans who vocally criticize their own party members.

[TheDystopiaInside]

Democratic Party makes me PUKE.

We need to send the Democratic party various types of balls...

baseballs, ball bearings, golf balls...

And tell them to GET SOME FUCKING BALLS.

If we can't get something done now, then when? Maybe when the Republicans worm their way back into power?

[zeitgeisthero]

why is this weak "leader" still the leader ? move aside obstuctionist weakling

[Dacadvid]

I too, am aware of the Blue Dog Democrats. Everyone talks about the greatness of 60 votes, but consider:

-on foreign policy, they have 59, because of Joe Lieberman

-there are plenty of Democrats against health care

I could go on.

[bart11114]

Fuck Bi Partisanship! Just get this stuff done!

[bart11114]

Barbara Boxer for Senate Majority Leader.

A Dem who's not a big wuss is exactly what we need as SML.

[earlymid90schild]

YES! She's perfect!

[imaginepeace63]

I agree with that. Boxer or FIengold.  They are both great senators.

[booley]

Ok I get why the Republicans are trying to make sure nothing gets done on the Democratic agenda.

But are the Democrats ALSO making sure nothing gets done on the Democratic agenda?

[Parralyzed]

Republicans aren't the only ones who are on the big businesses paychecks...

[gymer15]

harry is hairless

[DeistPaladin]

This is why I didn't get excited by the 60th seat. We are talking about the dems here, the party that could have a 90-seat senate and still be appeasing the republicans.

The dems need to fold up their tent and turn it over to a real political party that will represent progressives. The "blue dogs" can make it official and join the republicans.

[jjaaee]

Thats why we have so many RINOS. Namely.....well....99% of the curent republican party.

[johnny718bravo]

Reid: Step up or STEP ASIDE!

[ecwaufisxtreme]

Harry Reid is truly Sarah Palin's DICKLESS and BALLESS BITCH and PUSSY! Palin is a SUPERIOR politician and statesman than this ass-clown could ever be. She is also MORE MAN than he is for Harry wears the skirt in the Reid family while his wife wears the pants! The senate will get nothing done and this 60 filibuster proof majority WILL NOT last long. The GOP will regain Congress in 2010 and 2012 in filibuster proof majorities.

[PopeKurt]

I know basically anyone would do better, but are there any favorites to replace Reid as majority leader?

[earlymid90schild]

Dick Durbin, the Senate Majority Whip, I think, would be a very good choice.

[upabittoolate]

goddamit harry, use your fucking nuts. christ man, there's too much work to be done to be playing patty cakes. MAN UP!!

[RadarKat73080]

Maybe with a 60 vote majority, the Democrats will bend over and pull down their pants to the Republicans a little more slowly. C'mon Dems! Grow a pair!

[RomeoMD25]

dems never work with Republicans when it comes to fund the war,climate bill..

just another lame excuse..

if you didn't notice yet there is no much difference between republicans and democrats ..even Obama looks like Bush

[RadarKat73080]

Yeah, I forgot, Bush is black too!

[ultimatetalesfan19]

Of course you bring up the fact that he isn't white, instead of actually getting what romeo was really talking about.

typical

[LilCaliBoycp]

Headzup!
