Reid Wants 8 More Years as Senate Leader
Roll Call ^ | Today | Niels Lesniewiski

Posted on 12/19/2013 5:21:31 AM PST by Ouchthatonehurt

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid sounds like a man who intends to stay in his office into the next decade.

“I don’t want to do it more than eight more years,” the Nevada Democrat said of serving as his party’s leader in the Senate during a Wednesday interview with CQ Roll Call.

Reid is up for re-election in 2016 and has repeatedly said he intends to run again. He reiterated that intention again on Wednesday and indicated he’s looking at serving another full term running the Senate, if Democrats hold onto the majority the entire time. If he and Democrats are able to hold onto power that long, Reid would be the leader for 16 years, matching the current record set by the legendary Montana Democrat Mike Mansfield.

Listen up Nevada! If you want us to continue to come to Vegas and other parts of Nevada, leaving our money behind, don’t do it. Keep that corrupt little bastard somewhere like Ely or Elko in some hidden old mine shaft. He has shafted us enough.

Thank you very much.

As me dear old father would say...
(in a much more salter language!)

Harry Reid can wish in one hand and defecate in the other and see which one fills up first!

To Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce - or, rather, to the thugs behind it - I pledge never to visit Las Vegas while Harry Reid is in office.

He’s comfortable saying that because he knows the system is rigged.

Treason and tyranny is the reason.

Unfortunately I think you’re right.
Need some big time union busting out there.

This is one of our two better pick-up opportunities in 2016. The other is Colorado. After that, the pickings are slim. Maybe Oregon.

All the more reason to focus on 2014.

If we win control of the Senate in 2014, odds are improved that (1) Hairy Reed is pushed out as leader of the Democrat caucus, (2) does not even run for re-election, and (3) would not be able raise as much money for his re-election effort.

Gentlemen, let us focus on what is right before us.

The guy will be spoon fed and wearing diapers in 8 years, if not sooner.

Then he won’t even notice the remainder of his sentence - and he won’t be asking for parole.
