But now, Harry Reid realizes that this bill will hurt them a lot, whether it passes or not.
The bill had no chance to begin with. It was just political posturing before the November elections. The Dems decided not to pursue it any further now because it was becoming a political liability and would have forced some of the Dems to go on the record on positions they would like to keep hidden until after the general elections. Rest assured it will resurface under Obama or McCain and will probably pass.
| I really don't get Dingy Harry. The Senate is already so tilted towards time wasting and yet he brings forward a massive, multi-trillion dollar socialization of the American economy on a Monday...
You watch: they'll do the same thing with all this Green Weenie stuff. Everybody wants to SaveThePlanet™, but nobody wants to lose their job. Give people a choice between those things, and the Green Weenies will lose. But you'd never know that from listening to NBC News. |
As much as the Democrats benefit from a biased liberal media, there are times when it hurts them. Every so often the media goes berserk cheering for something that only Bi-Coastal Snootypant Leftists support. The media hoopla tricks the Democrats into believing their own BS. They'll respond to the cheers from the reporters by supporting something that in fact is electoral death. It took them decades to figure out that the New York Media and the Average Voter were miles apart on the subject of gun control. It wasn't until Al Gore lost his own home state that the light bulb went on.
