Harry Reid is Gone (Don't Let the Door Hit you on Your Way Out the Senate)

What can we say about Harry Ried's departure from the US Senate and his legacy?

No budget for 8 years (just Continuing Resolutions).

Ruinous Obamacare (he is it's real maker).

A Dysfunctional Senate.

Reid Gone. Come now he just moved out the big office to a smaller office and is still in charge of the Senate. what do you think he would surrender power just because of an election. The American People will see in the First 100 Days of the New Senate and the House of Representatives what will set the tone for the next two years. January 6 is when it begins - watch and scorn that the Democrats are still inpower. The Republicans have already caved to them. It is unfortunate but that is where it is at.

Don’t think things will change much the good old boy club thinks the own the place so far it looks like they do D.C. is the real ground hog day.

The GOP establishment has absolutely no interest in reducing the size of the Federal leviathan, or lowering how much it spends. They just want a turn at the teat, doling out favors to their major donors, while hoping that once more they can fool the rubes back home into believing they're for the little guy.

Crony capitalism will still live in the next Congress, with one difference: when things go even further into the toilet in 2016, Obama and the Democrats will be able to more convincingly blame the GOP, and the Republican nominee Jeb will go down in flames in November.

I know. His “resignation” sure took Fast And Furious, Benghazi, etc, out of the headlines and off the map.

After all the time the democrats have been screaming about GOP “obstructionism”, Obama proudly explained that the democrats have been the obstructionists and he will now have to change tactics to continue obstructing.

He said he hadn’t been forced to use his veto pen because the Democrat senate had blocked GOP bills he didn’t want to sign.

Yup, just exchanging gobblers. Only change is the name on the door.

Reid is bought and paid for by the same big money that’s moving this country in the wrong direction with Obamacare and Amnesty so the wrongs of Reid will not be undone in a meaningful way by the business as usual big spending, debt ceiling increasing Republican leadership of Mitch McConnell.

In American politics, nothing is worse than losing the majority.

"But, they told us that voting for candidates with an "R" after their name was all that was necessary!"

"They said, 'Democrats are pure evil, so even if you hate the Republican candidate, you're voting *against* the Democrat; it's the lesser of two evils and that's OK!'"

"What went wrong?"

The dynamics are going to change drastically ....b/c of the midterm Dem slaughter.

Dems will bend over backward to show voters they are not lockstepping Obamacrat loyalists-—like the ones that were ousted in Nov.

Reid and Pelosi are not gone just yet, they still have a few days to create more havoc and with odumbo at the helm, their “havoc” will be his desert.

The republican dynamics will change as well. They won’t be able to hide behind the democrats.

Course, I'm just a really, really good person so I think we should aid Harry Reid in the difficult transition from Leader to Loser.

Let's give Harry a brand new office ....in the Capitol's sub-basement, next to the furnace. Harry'll just love his brand-new cardboard desk (some assembly required).

Although I hear phone service isn't hooked up down there yet. Too bad. Harry can always use smoke signals (from the handy furnace) to communicate.

And let's give 'ol Harry a comfortable desk chair---complete w/ comfy head and foot rests.......and tell Harry not to worry about all those silly electrical switches lying around.

Harry's new chair....with our compliments.

Reid is a product of the Vegas mob.

What went wrong? Nothing as long as one subscribes to the Big Lie concept.

The lies keep coming both from the white hut and the GOPe. Only way to play this now is to wait for the implosion and hope to be around to pick up the pieces when it all comes down in flames. The next growth industry will be in the lamp post building and rope weaving.

I agree, and when the implosion occurs, when the Titanic that is America takes on enough water so that it can no longer be hidden from the masses, hopefully there will be enough people that will wake up and stop believing the lies from both parties in Washington DC (AKA the Uniparty). I still cling to a very thin thread of optimism, but given some of the postings I continue to see from the GOP true-believers, it's hard.
