Reid says he won't work with Romney
Reid says he won't work with Romney
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.
Mr. Reid, a Nevada Democrat and a Mormon, like Mr. Romney, has become the Republican presidential nominee's chief critic this campaign, at one point accusing him of failing to pay taxes — a charge that Mr. Romney has refuted.
With Democrats appearing poised to keep control of the Senate, a President Romney would have to be prepared to work with Mr. Reid, who would set the upper chamber's schedule and determine what bills make it to the floor.
Mr. Reid flatly ruled out following Mr. Romney's agenda, saying he and his colleagues have already voted down many of those proposals, including House Republicans' budget, written by Republican vice presidential nominee Rep. Paul Ryan.
"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.
Mr. Romney has argued over the last week that his experience in Massachusetts working with a Democratic-controlled legislature has left him prepared to work with Congress. He has also vowed to hold regular meetings with congressional leaders to let both sides talk through their issues.
Mr. Reid challenged Mr. Romney's memory of Massachusetts, saying he sealed "himself off behind a velvet rope instead of reaching out to build relationships."
With a huge agenda awaiting them, and control of Congress likely to be split, the next president will have to find a way to work with both parties.
Republicans in Congress — and even some Democrats — have criticized Mr. Obama for failing to do that during his first term. The president won passage of his health care law and the 2009 stimulus, but played defense for most of the last two years as Republicans pushed for spending cuts.

Sounds familiar.
Good. I am glad to hear it. I don't believe in comprising with the left.
They don't deserve a seat at the table.
The Tea Party will get the Senate back and then we will steam roll right over the American Progressives and their anti-American agenda.

You should always cite your source, Marshall. 31 votes on repealing Obamacare is stepping across the aisle? LMAO!
Perhaps he is taking the attitude Mitch McConnell and John Boehner have taken for nearly four full years, asswipe!

HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
Oboma, the Homa
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
We're gonna clean up this mess with or without Harry Reid.....we can always buy off a few demonrat senators to get what we want. It's not like they have any morals or sincerity in their beliefs. Hell, they talk like conservatives to get elected anyway....Bath House Barry was talking about capitalism and free enterprise today like he was Ronald "fucking" Reagan [Sr.]!!!!! It's funny how you libtards have to lie to get yourselves elected....if you told the truth about what you believed, you'd get less votes than Gary Johnson.......
HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA! HA!
Why do you turds love failing so much?

I agree with that. Gridlock is good for the country. But let's not hear any more bitching about Mitch McConnell anymore, ok?

Again, I say what Reid said is not fucking cool, not at all and he should retract that statement, it doesn't help anything.
But it's not just McConnell COF.
It's also Rush Limbaugh and all the republicans (including Ryan) that had their not-so-secret dinner meeting the night of Obama's inauguration where they declared that they will try to block everything the President does. That shit is totally fucked up and I've never heard of anything like that before. Guy wasn't even at the desk yet and they already put up a firewall against him.
I don't hear you complaining about that tho.

At the time, I thought it was very bad. But once I finally figured out what Obama really wanted to do, which was the opposite of what he promised in the 2008 election, I fully supported their efforts to stop what he wants to do. He wants to limit liberty, and increase government control at all levels. I believe that must be stopped.
They did a piss poor job of stopping him, BTW.

What Harry in effect is saying is:
You might as well vote for doing nothing and keep my guy in there, because we are doing to make sure the new guy doesn't do anything.
Now that is a bumper sticker ....
.. just wondering if Obaminable approves that message.

Of course, we conservatives have tried to block every unconstitutional, fiscally irresponsible thing Odumbo has done or attempted to do. That's the always the case in DC; the Dimos fight against limited Constitutional government and the Republicans fight for it. It's silly to pretend that the Dimo's are less partisan than the Republicans.
When Rush Limbaugh said that he hoped Odumbo failed, he was talking about failing in implementing a socialist agenda. Everyone understood what he meant, including the Dimos'.

Rush Limbaugh is a big fat drug addict baby. You should hear the disgraceful shit he's saying about Gov Christie now.
