Reid spikes the football: 'Successful year for Democrats'
Washington Examiner ^ | December 18, 2015 | Pete Kasperowicz

Senate Democrats on Friday boasted that they successfully managed to get just about everything they wanted in a massive spending and tax cut bill, despite being the minority party in both the House and Senate.

"Months ago, Democrats called on Republicans to work with us to craft a budget agreement. We wanted to get rid of sequestration, we were able to do that," said Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

"The legislation caps off a successful year for Senate Democrats," Reid said.

Well, hell, The Turtle couldn’t turn a profit on a whorehouse in a boomtown, so why shouldn’t Reid brag?

When the Republicans fail to show up at the game, the Democrats will always win.

He’s right.

Should have said, a great year for the Uniparty, but close enough.

Does anyone recall when the Republicans got everything they wanted when they were in minority?

No need to answer. We already know.

It can only get better for them.

The GOP is now officially dead.

Ryan has proven to be a little tiny brown thing dwelling at the bottom of the septic tank right next to Reid, Pelosi and Dorkbama the Muslim.

May his life prove to be one of failures terminated by his sepuku.

I can’t think of a single reason to contradict Reid on this one. The Gelded Old People folded like a cheap lawn chair in a hurricane at every turn. I despise Reid and Pelosi, but I admire their willingness to fight for their position.

Why wouldn't they? When the other side is down, keep kicking to make sure they don't get back up. I'm still waiting for the GOP presser, which will never happen. Welcome to Whigdom, GOP, it is time for your replacement.

Every last one of the So-called Republican members of the House from Gnu Yak including that dirt bag Richard Hanna voted FOR bankrupting our Kids and letting the enemy in unscathed. It’s hammer time for the Conservative Party in NYS!

But Hairy, how was it for the United States?
