Reid characterized Thursday morning’s bicameral leadership meeting as cordial and said he offered to help Boehner circumvent Tea Party-affiliated conservatives who are threatening a government shutdown.

“I said to him, ‘What can I do to help?’,” Reid said.

What a guy Reid is to help Boehner undermine the conservatives, as if Boehner needed any.

Blah blah...he doesn’t really care. What he steals and receives from his corrupt activities aren’t dependent on a fricking budget. Give me a break.

““The fact that Boehner came up with his sort-of concoction shows that he knows that a government shutdown plays badly for him,” he added, referring to the stop-gap spending measure House GOP leaders presented to their colleagues on Tuesday.”

No, what plays badly for Boehner is if he does nothing about this. Actually, as far as I am concerned, Boehner is done as a congressman.

the only think that frightens him is the prospect that he might not be able to continue delving into the goody chest once the Senate goes red

I am kinda looking forward to a “government shutdown.”
Too bad it wouldn’t include docking the pay of all the scumbags and their staffs.

“Harry ‘War is Lost’ Reid.”

WOW Id forgotten that little bit of history!

Ødrama has taken such a central point of attention with all his evil antics that other perhaps only lightly less absurd have faded from ramdom access memory!

Harrys too bent to be afraid!

A government shutdown wouldn’t affect any of us who work. And I can get stamps at the supermarket.

“I said to him, ‘What can I do to help?’,” Reid said. “It was not a yelling-at-each-other meeting. It was a very nice meeting we had. Hey listen, I like John Boehner.”

What's not for a scumbag Democrat to like about Boehner?

Under obamacare I suppose that government shutdown would stop the health industry. Right now all the roads out of here are washed out or flooded so I really don’t care what the dictator does.

Harry and Boner. When you threaten to shut down the government you better look at the people. They are cheering.

Harry Reid (D-Nev.) needs to be frightened. He needs to live in deep fear, of losing control, of losing political power, terror at having to go home in shame as a has-been, and seeing the bloated and inefficient government edifices he helped create crumble and fall, leaving everyone except him and his peers happier, more prosperous, and comfortable with their individual liberty.

Nobody has proposed shutting down the government, that threat only comes from Obama/Reid.
