Harry Reid: Republicans 'Getting Our Soldiers Killed'
Pundit Press ^ | 9/25/10 | Aurelius

Posted on 09/25/2010 1:02:01 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

We all know that Nevada Senator and Majority Leader Harry Reid has no tact nor common sense. Obviously, he has no decency either. Playing politics with money going to troops in harms way, Reid attached an amendment that would overturn Don't Ask, Don't Tell. When the bill failed earlier this week, instead of taking the blame or admitting a mistake, Reid wrote this on his campaign site:

“Republicans are again playing politics with our national security. Today they blocked the Senate from debating a bill that would give our troops the resources they need to keep America safe – stopping not only funding for combat vehicles and bulletproof vests or measures to improve our military’s readiness, but even a well-earned pay raise to help our troops and their families make ends meet.

“I am disappointed that my Republican colleagues put partisan politics ahead of the best interests of the men and women who courageously defend our nation. Democrats will continue to fight for our troops and will work to ensure that our troops have the resources they need to do their jobs.”

Obviously Mr. Reid is either completely unaware that his amendment sunk the bill, or he's a lair. Or both. He is also clearly unaware that some Democrats, as well as Republicans, voted the bill down. But hey, what are facts to a guy with no shame?

Coming from a cowardly, spineless senator who wanted us to surrender in Iraq so many times..there’s only 1 true fact: liberals want American soldiers dead.

Reid is a liar and a hypocrite...which is apparently what he's trying to sell himself on. Well, liberals may appreciate liars and hypocrites, but us independents don't.

Sadly today a poll is out showing him up by 5. If this is what the people of NV want then we are all in big trouble.

That is an insult to all the fathers that worry about their sons everyday. We are getting close to all out civil war.

Twice Obama told Corporations to stop going to Vegas. If he said that about my city, I don’t see any support for this islamist jack-ass or his band of thugs. Damn Vegas, wake UP!

Reid doesn't care about our troops, his thoughts are on his little senate hottie, Kirstin, and his lovable pet, Coons.

“I am disappointed that my Republican colleagues put partisan politics ahead of the best interests of the men and women who courageously defend our nation.”

Harry, what were doing when you allowed the totally unrelated “don’t ask, don’t tell” rider to be attached to a military spending bill? Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

I suppose he also forgot to mention that, in a “procedural” move, he voted against it as well.

Same poll shows his son Rory, who had been given up on even by Dems, is gaining and is only 6 pts behind in the governor race. We can only hope this poll is a fluke. Hard to believe things are so volatile. Someone I know works for this polling firm so I hate to say I think their work is flawed. But it would be surprising if in a state like NV where the economy is terrible the Dems are suddenly rising when they seem to be falling elsewhere.

Well,
Polls say he is still tied in his re-election race in Nevada.
Nevada has 14+ percent unemployed. Can the good folks of Nevada be so stupid?
You betcha.

you are a liar harreee...

it was YOU who said the war was lost and don’t deny it...it’s on video. YOU were the one that said it as our solders were dying every day. You basically told the enemy our country could not win this war. You are nothing but a shameless little nobody trying to keep your seat.
