Reid Defends Taxpayer-Funded "Cowboy Poetry Festival"

[yankeegal01]

And here's a thought... if they don't have an agreement by April 8th and there is a "government shutdown", does that mean that the IRS will be the first to go on the chopping block, since they are government employees? Bet it will be the last to go... Democrats gotta tax, tax, tax, to pay for money to fund things that are "important" such as the "Cowboy Poetry Festival".

[yankeegal01]

Okay fine Reid, lets continue to give funds to the "Cowboy Poetry Festival" here in Nevada, meanwhile, things that are important such as the "pollen count" system is ended because of a lack of $60K to fund it so things that are important to life, such as the pollen count, the pollution count, will not exist anymore. But the poetry festival is so much more important to human life than pollen and pollution, right?

Cowboy Poetry Festival? What is it, some Brokeback Mountain fanclub or something?!?!?!?! :/

I have to support some rhinestone cowboy's limerick festival? No way, Harry. It's time for you to get a real job.

Can't believe there were enough idiots in Nevada to vote this fool back into office.

[DeathKorps94]

Recall this idiot. They talk about out of touch this clown and Piglosi are about as out of touch with reality as you can get

[thomaserossi]

Harry Reid and Barney Frank voted dislike for exposing their Cowboy Fetish.

[Krastonscott]

Is he for real?

If a cowboy is in to poetry, I would say that cowboy is all hat and no cattle!

[iamzbacku]

What a complete MORON  MORON, I don't want MY taxes to pay for some COWBOY POETRY in NEVADA.......... I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND I DON'T WANT MY TAXES SPENT TO SUPPORT POEMS FOR COWBOYS. NO WONDER WE ARE BROKE.

[iamzbacku]

@iamzbacku INSANITY BEYOND INSANITY. I can't drive my car but I'm paying to have COWBOYS READ POETRY. INSANITY.

[FLHTP07]

10's of thousands of people (who come there) would not exist? What? 

[1betrman]

Now That puts a tear in my beer...

Gotta laugh to keep from crying!

[DwightSimpson]

Isn't this guy the same guy who said on a hot summer day in Washington DC you can literally smell the tourists... Now, he is defending the Cowboy poetry festival? Get your priorities straight, Harry.

[DwightSimpson]

Harry Reid hasn't changed, won't change, and is being left in the dust as our country tries to move forward. Sad, but Nevada just won't learn.

[stetsonwalker]

@DwightSimpson Hate to say this because I am a conservative...but the woman that ran against him was a real piece of work. that is why he is still there...the only reason, But he darned near lost to the nut job... even as nutty as she was she would have been an improvement!

[DwightSimpson]

@stetsonwalker i lived in Nevada for 18 years... Harry was there when I left and he is still there today. i can't believe the people of Nevada have not sent him packing. Nevadans are hard working and "free spirited", the kind of people that made this country great. Harry Reid does not exemplify the people of Nevada. Harry Reid, not only a disgrace for Nevada, but the whole country.  Are we never to learn?

[yankeegal01]

@DwightSimpson QUOTE: "i can't believe the people of Nevada have not sent him packing..."

I didn't vote for him, but I also didn't vote for Angle. He is a disgrace to this state... and those that voted for him are responsible for him continuing to be in office.

[DwightSimpson]

@yankeegal01 Glad to hear from one hard-working, thoughtful Nevadan. I shake my head almost each and every time Reid speaks. Truly, one of the last genuine flim-flam men.
