Health Reform: To hear Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs tell it, what people think regarding what the president and Congress do is irrelevant — or worse, immoral.
The Democrats' leader in the U.S. Senate, who will be in the fight of his political life back home in Nevada next year, accused Republicans of Civil War-era racism in opposing the multitrillion-dollar big-government health care revolution Congress and the president have planned.
"Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'Slow down, stop everything, let's start over,'" Reid charged on Monday.
According to Reid, "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said, 'Slow down. It's too early. Things aren't bad enough.'"
Going further, Reid then compared Republican obstructionism to the opposition to women's suffrage and the civil rights movement.
Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., called the remarks "beneath the dignity of the majority leader" and said he was personally insulted. But it's exactly in character for the left as it seeks to boost its powers in American life. Politicians who believe in the never-ending expansion of government are fully willing to pull out the stops when something as big as government-run health care is within grasp.

I am so tired of dealing with dumber than dumb. Harry was a little stinky fart when he was on the gaming commission and he is a little stinky fart today.
Go to Hell, Harry Reid.
What’s funny, is his words could be applied to the Democrats who opposed the liberations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
Of course, in the future Dems will claim that those were “really” done by Clinton or Obama, as they love themselves some revisionist history.
These signs were all over town!
Gibbs might as well have his fingers in his ears while he sings "La la la la, I'm not listening!"
