Reid: Voters are "Very Selfish" Children
Pundit Press ^ | 10/8/10 | Aurelius

Posted on 10/08/2010 5:24:04 PM PDT by therightliveswithus

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is in the political race of his life. He is desperately trying to push through the Democrat agenda (though he can't now because they are on another vacation), while trying to keep up with Republican Nominee Sharron Angle in Nevada.

Reid is now behind Angle by four points in the latest poll and his approval rating is around 30%. In a year that could lead to big gains for the GOP, the Senate race in Nevada could be the watermark. With all these things going against Senator Reid's favor, one would think that he would concentrate on getting his message out, trying to shore up voters by the elections.

Or he could compare the people of Nevada to "very selfish" children, as he did in a recent interview:

"I wanted to get some presents on Christmas morning. I was a very selfish little boy, and I was upset that my mother had to go through all this. Whose fault is this? And that's what people are going through. I didn't know who to blame but I wanted to blame somebody."

I'm sure you don't need interpretation, but please allow me: "When I was small, I wanted presents for Christmas. I didn't get them. I was very selfish, I wanted everything, like the voters of my state. But I was naive, also like the voters of my state. They simply don't understand that I am the equivalent of their mother."

It would be wonderful to have adults running the government, but right now we have a bunch of imbeciles.

Democrats trying to get people to vote for them by insulting them.

It seems to be a trend. Maybe even an official policy.

Harry needs to have a sit-down with Tom Daschel about which is the best lobby firm to shill for in 2011. Anybody who thinks that he will return to Nevada to retire needs to report to the Feds the stuff that they are taking. It is illegal.

Hairy considers voting US citizens to be his ungrateful children.

Isn't that special?

Both HARRY and his LOBBYIST SON RORY need to be DEFEATED!

Especially Harry, he is Obama’s MAN and if Harry gets removed and the House and or Senate swing Republican, it will be a grand day, indeed!

Yeah, I saw the Intrade numbers too. The only thing I can think of why is there may be some thinking that some misguided voters will flinch at the thought of their state losing that much influence in DC.
