Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Saturday urged progressive activists to get out the vote for Bruce Braley, calling Iowa crucial to Democratic hopes to keep the Senate.
If we win Iowa, were going to do just fine, Reid said on a call organized by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee. Iowa is a key for what we do.
During the call, Reid said Joni Ernst, the GOP Senate nominee in Iowa, would be a disaster for issues key to progressives, like protecting Social Security and raising the minimum wage.
Ernst, a state senator, and Braley, a four-term congressman, are locked in one of the closest Senate races in the country.
Bruce Braley is a fine man. He has a good record of public service, Reid said.
Shes [Ernst] so far to the right that Im sure many parts of the right wouldnt like what shes talking about, he added.

I hope the people of IOWA will let ther wishes be known loud and clear. A clear channel communication.

There is no such thing as “too right for conservatives”.

They’re already saying that the GOP winning the Senate would be a loss for the GOP.

Hey Harry - don’t you bother your little feeble mind about the “right” - tend your own wacky far left that no controls your RAT party.

The Goebbels media already have their WH marching orders. Their only task is to make it fit the actual results.
White House feeding the morning media

Theyre already saying that the GOP winning the Senate would be a loss for the GOP.They have to, they just can't help themselves. The good news is that the voters have now seen through them and soon, I hope, the MSM will become irrelevant.

I always thought Dingy Harry was too far left for Nevada, but somehow he keeps getting elected.

Yeah, we should listen to Harry Reid. He only wants what’s good for conservatives.
To: Bettyprob
I hope and pray he is no longer the majority leader.

This is a tough one.
I guess if someone thinks that there’s a shortage of lying liberal lawyers in the Senate they’ll vote for Braley.
But the rest of Iowa should vote for Joni.

Ann Coulter: We don’t have to adopt all the Democrats’ traits incessant lying, utter shamelessness, criminal behavior and lots of crying but Republicans need to tattoo this truism on their arms: It’s never a good idea to take advice from your enemies.
