Sen. Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., who suffered a serious eye injury while exercising in his home in January, announced what a lot of conservatives have been waiting with bated breath to hear: He’s not seeking reelection.

"He’s served for about three decades in Congress...." Which is about 3 decades too long. But, is this just a "Hey. Look a squirrel." stunt?

I will always wonder about his “exercise” injuries. Really caused by a malfunctioning treadmill or pulley design on equipment????

Destruction of America complete. Nothing left to do, Harry. A horrible life lived horribly.

The nicest thing I can say about him: America would have been a far better place if he’d never been born.

“On the verge of losing his own election and after losing the majority, Senator Harry Reid has decided to hang up his rusty spurs.

Last time I heard his injury mentioned they called it “well documented”. Who says that about something that really happened?

Popular GOP governor Brian Sandoval has been talked about for this Senate seat. Could be a GOP pickup in 2016. We’ll see.

If he is another Chamber of Commerce Trojan Horse he needs to stay away from that Senate Race.

I figure he just offered to Lewinski the wrong body builder.

Sadly, operative word-——should. But, you now they won’t. He’s just a sad pathetic old man so somebody will have mercy. Or grant a blanket pardon for all the “good” he’s done for this country. You know the game.

“These bruises I have on my face, on my eye, are an inconvenience, but trust me, they’re nothing compared to some of the bruises I got when I was fighting in the ring.

Reid is a lefty in the Senate, but he apparently never got in the ring with a lefty. That or he forgot how to duck.

Someone should have punched him in the eye years ago if that was all it takes to get rid of him.
