(Dingy Harry Ried): "I Can't Stand McCain!"
Las Vegas Review Journal ^ | 8-21-08 | By MOLLY BALL

Posted on 08/21/2008 8:08:26 AM PDT by meandog

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., defended Connecticut Sen. Joe Lieberman on Wednesday after the former Democratic vice presidential nominee accepted a speaking slot at next month's Republican convention in Minnesota.

"He has a close personal relationship with John McCain. I don't fully understand why he does," said Reid, who said Lieberman called Tuesday from

"I told him last night, 'You know, Joe, I can't stand John McCain.' He said, 'I know you feel that way,' " Reid said.

But Reid said he would continue to resist calls from the Democratic Party's base to strip Lieberman, now an independent, of his Senate positions for his disloyalty.

"All my close votes, he's always with me, whether it's the budget or energy issues," Reid said. "No matter what it is, he's always with us. He just does not vote right on Iraq. ... Why would I want to throw away a good vote?"

And that percentage is probably a bit of an understatement.

I’m part of the 91% of American voters who despise Harry Reid. But I agree with him on John McCain— I can’t stand him either. There’s only one way to solve this problem: Harry needs to get Obama to name him VP so he can get in the ring with John McCain. My guess is that Old Harry won’t even do as well as a boxing kangaroo.

Reid and Pelosi are the two worst Congressional leaders in History. This includes the time known as Yesterfar. These two pompous idiots must be destroyed (metaphorically speaking).

Yo Harry,

BITE ME!!!

I can’t stand you either, and don’t understand the fools who keep voting for you.

I am not a McCain Fan but at least he as done SOMETHING in support of his (and my) country. You are fine piece of fecal matter and you should go back to the cesspool you spawned from.

Not a chance Reid will be popular here. I too don't like McCain and find him creepy. And I do not like Reid. Both are left. I also do not like Obama. Just because Hillary hates him, does not make me like her any better.

Mainly because he realizes that if he pushes Lieberman from "Independent" to "Republican" then Reid becomes Senate MINORITY Leader again.

Reid needs Lieberman a lot more than Lieberman needs Reid. If Lieberman flips, the Senate will be under Republican control, at least until next year.
