After a weekend of intense consultations with fellow Democrats, Senate majority leader Harry Reid has decided he has the votes to get a health-reform bill with a public option to the Senate floor. "I believe we clearly will have the support of my caucus to move to this bill and start legislating," Reid declared at a news conference Monday afternoon.

The next election is a topic I am interested in. I am Generation Xer and I speak with others in my Generation all the time. I have been trying to speak some sense into these idiots.

They are NOT listening, unless we do something NOW we will lose the next election.

9 out of 10 Generation Xers are so mad at Bush, they won’t see past this socialism/communism that is invading our Country. They are clinging to like a Life Preserver!

Please if you are in Generation X, join us at www.myfreepress.net to help educate our generation.

They should be totally embarrassed by Reid, as we are with the White House.

Yep. And I bet 9 out of 10 have absolutely no logical reason to cite for their anger. They have accepted the MSM's assessment of Bush's presidency as a total wash. Group think is a disgusting phenomena when it ignores the truth.

I like the idea I heard this morning. Instead of Opting out, how about the idea of “Opting in”? To do anything, do people realize how difficult it would be for a State to Opt out? Would they hold special elections? When would they do it? How much would it cost? Would the Governor of each state make the decision or would the Legislature or would the people? This whole thing is getting crazy.

Trust me WE are embarrassed by Aunt Harry Reid!!

I live in Reno and NOBODY likes him. We are just behind Michigan in lost jobs.

There are all sorts of ideas going around as to getting rid of this disgusting creature.

I am not sure what is the feeling in Vegas. Down there it has so many whacked out libs. But up here, we can’t stand him.

I would imagine that in Vegas, the money will control the election. Like I said before, have elections in two or three counties at a time......strictly controlled and all voters verified. Then go to the next two or three counties and do the same thing. It would cost but what is the price for the peoples voting rights?

Yup. Schumer was blamed for the House loss in 94 as well because he pushed gun control. Looks like he’s doing his magic again.

Schumer is disaster on TV. Hope we see his mug a lot.

I totally agree. Stupid groups like ACORN were allowed to poison the process. WHY can't we make sure that if you voted, you must dip your finger in the “blue” ink like in the middle east?

But you are right, we must have more control to eliminate possible fraud. Funny how not one “battle ground” state went to McCain... NOT ONE. And yet there were tons of voter fraud issues in EACH of those states.

God help this nation!

No they don’t have an rational explanation, but that doesn’t mean we give up and let them win.

They are not hearing enough from their fellow generation. Beck is a boomer and so is everyone else trying to speak out. They think we are just in it for Bush, and not for the better of our Country. We need a GenXer to stand up like Beck, one that wears baseball hat, plays video games, but also understand the importance of the constitution and our founding fathers. We will lose this fight if we don’t. They out number us now!

He’s beyond help. Tom Daschle is a slick operator compared to this tool. He can forget about coming back.

That is OK I understand. I have my own embarrasment in Florida with big-mouth Alan Grayson. Our theme needs to be “Sweep them Out in 2010 and then finish the job in 2012.”

But in practice, it is difficult to see why any state would actually make the decision to opt out, considering that no one would be forced to buy into the public option, and it would not cost states any additional money.

Tell the lie, tell it often enough . . . . . . .

People of Nevada, please, for the sake of our nation, VOTE HARRY REID OUT!!!!!!

Also you Nebraska people, vote Ben Nelson out in 1012. Get a guy now to run against him so he is more apt to vote against ObamaCare & Cap & Trade.

You'd just have ACORNers rounding up indigents, giving them a name, teaching them to vote for "D". Then after they vote, give them a bottle of Mad Dog to chop their finger off and go back and vote again with a different name.

Please go to Danny Tarkanian’s website, learn about him and contribute any amount.

http://tark2010.org/

Tarkanian is currently polling 48 to 42 over Reid. (RCP)

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2010/senate/nv/nevada_senate_tarkanian_vs_reid-1099.html

But Reid has the money advantage. You don’t have to live in Nevada to contribute.

Everyone, please give any amount today.
