Obama 'Getting Our Soldiers Killed'

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?

Just like... “The war in Iraq is lost.”
How this guy could be leading by five in the most recent poll is WAY beyond me. If Nevadans, with their 14.4% unemployment rate, re-elect that a-hole, they’re hopeless.
ROFLMAO! The desperation is beginning to show ... BIG TIME!
I used to live in Tonopah and would visit Vegas a few times a month. If they are that far gone they must be California rejects.
I ran into the same sort of a-hole in the barbershop today. starting lighting him up, and then his haircut was done.
cowardly (self-identified as ex-USAF) puke crying about rumors of the draft starting up and encouraging his kids to leave the country.
Another two minutes, and the barber (Vietnam Vet, USAF SP’s - a great guy) would’ve had to separate us. All because this COWARD is too much of a COWARD to teach his brats to their duty to fulfill the responsibilities of citizenship.
My son is in the box now, and I’m a few days from finding out whether I’m going or not. After 30 years of service, I have absolute zero tolerance for that sort of crap. They can spout it all they want, but they’ll hear about.
No more standing by in silence. Fools need to be called out and exemplified to the rest of society.
Harry Reid ain’t right, he just ain’t right.
