In the final minutes of the Senate health care debate, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said lawmakers would hear "an earful" about the national health care bill from constituents who are solidly opposed to the legislation. In response, Majority Leader Harry Reid cited the case of a young disabled boy in Nevada who Reid said will now have health coverage and said that Democrats will indeed hear an earful -- "an earful of joy and happiness."
"Yes, we'll hear an earful," Reid added, "but it will be an earful of wonderment and happiness."

The only person Senator Reid is fooling is himself.

This thing is wildly unpopular. For that reason the WH is requesting that a reconciliation package isn't voted on until after the State of the Union speech. Obie needs another opportunity to “lie it up”.

I wonder how joyous Mr. Reid would be if I took his VISA card and bought him a five thousand dollar watch?
Mr. Reid is a putz...and a damned good one.

Absolutely, Harry and the Democrats will be “greeted as liberators” by the American people. /sarc
The voters will demonstrate their “joy and hapiness” by granting about 80 Democrat congressmen and 8 Democrat senators “early retirement” next November.

Has there ever been a political party more out of touch with the people than the Democrats? Harry Reid will never live this down,the fool.

Harry’s been drinking again. I am beginning to think that this guy isn’t planning on running for reelection.

Pelosi, Ried, Obama, the Hitlers of our time. Their names will be synonymous with Hitler for they have designed the American Holocaust. Their Death Panels will be their Final Solution for the elderly and ill in this country.
These dictators MUST be voted out of our government along with their cohorts and fellow traitors.
