Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Tuesday reiterated the desire of Senate Democrats to close the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, dismissing any funding conflict with the House.
Reid (D-Nev.) downplayed the significance of Mondays decision by House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) against including $80 million in a $94 billion supplemental spending bill to close the prison in Cuba.
. . . . .
But Reid distinguished the funding conflict from any disagreement over whether to close the prison, reminding reporters that 2008 GOP presidential nominee John McCain (R-Ariz.) has also expressed a desire to close the facility.
Let President Obama execute his plan, Reid said. We believe, like Senator McCain, that it should be closed. Sen. McCain said that and we agree with them.

Let's send them all to Vegas. Put them up at the MGM and give them some free tokens too.
Or since thanks to Dirty Harry we're not going to use Yucca Mountain for deadly radioactive waste, lets seal up this pack of deadly human waste there.

I would probably enjoy watching the demorats implode with their own stupidity (the only logical outcome of a failed ideology is FAILURE) if it wasn’t my country and my children’s future at stake. Its kind of like watching the town idiot make a fool of himself until you realize he found a box of dynamite. Living with democrats is like being handcuffed to an insane idiot with a very low IQ.
