Dying people tend to show remorse and seek and offer forgiveness. Not Harry Reid. He is going out as the amoral liar he proved himself to be. He tore into Trump recently:
Harry Reid, the former Senate Majority Leader who is suffering from pancreatic cancer, has given a rare interview in which he compares a “weird” President Trump unfavorably to mafia bosses who “are really good with what they do.” He told The New York Times: “Trump is an interesting person. He is not immoral but is amoral. Amoral is when you shoot someone in the head, it doesn’t make a difference. No conscience.” When the writer Mark Leibovich suggested there was a hint of grudging respect in Reid’s words, he added: “I think he is without question the worst president we’ve ever had… We’ve had some bad ones, and there’s not even a close second to him.” Reid refused to say whether he backed his successor Chuck Schumer’s tactics in dealing with Trump. “I do not call Schumer,” he said. “I call him once in a while—not weekly… I talk to Nancy often. I love Nancy Pelosi.” The Times piece states, bluntly, that Reid “does not have long to live.”But if you'll remember, Reid lied his ass off about Mitt Romney.
Reid first made the accusationagainst the former Massachusetts governor in a 2012 interview with the Huffington Post. At the time, Reid claimed that a Bain Capital investor told him Romney didn't pay taxes for the previous 10 years. This, Reid claimed, was why Romney hadn't released his tax returns.Not only was he unrepentant about his lies, he was proud of them. Huffington Post:"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years!" Reid said. "Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain, but obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?"
A few days after the HuffPo interview, Reid made the same charge on the Senate floor, this time claiming as fact that Romney paid no taxes.
"As we know, he has refused to release his tax returns. If a person coming before this body wanted to be a Cabinet officer, he couldn't be if he had the same refusal Mitt Romney does about tax returns," Reid said. "So the word is out that he has not paid any taxes for 10 years. Let him prove he has paid taxes, because he has not."

"Hairy Roid"
When Dirty Harry arrived in DC he was basically broke.When he left he was worth many millions.A pretty good trick on a $150,000/yr salary.
The ego of politicians. Do they think they outrank God?
Senator Reid has the consolation that the Senate honors his name by association with the rule which eliminates filibustering of judicial nominees . . . (snicker)He might live to see a 6-seat Republican (if not actually conservative) majority on SCOTUS because of his rule.
One treadmill step away from the grim reaper...
He's a Democrat..
Satan is waiting for all these traitors including the ones in the MSM. They can all hang out in Hades for eternity together. Reminds me of a nest of rattlesnakes.

Yes, they do because most are Secular Humanists. Their god is big government and power, greed and control. Look at Hillary.
Well Dingy it takes one to know one.
You KNOW that he will lie (a little pun there) in state in the Capitol Rotunda after he passes.
I suggest just leaving his rotting carcass there til it falls apart. ((He already has stunk up the entire building all those many years he was in office there)
