Reid did it because, well, he's stupid. It's really no more complicated than that.
Reid did it because there are only cowards and whimps on the other side.
.....Reid did it because, well, he's stupid.....
I saw his comments about consulting with Frist. The man was out of control. He genuinely lost it.
He did it out of extreme irratonal desperation. He might drop dead before morning from a stroke induced by the day's stress on his psyche.
It seems to me that the last time someone was accused of "shutting down the governemnt" they lost. Clinton did the accusing last time and the people bought it that Republicans "shut" the government down. NOW's the time for the Republicans to highlight just WHO wants to shut down and slow down the government...trying to put off Alito's hearings until 2006...this latest "stunt" that stopped Senate business. IF the Republicans are smart (and I have my doubts about the Republican Senators) they should get out in front of this and portray it as it is....the Dems are shutting down of government like spoiled brats.
He's stupid, hateful, and scared to death of the ever increasing loss of power. I hope he gets his and soon.
