Ping.

You know, I hate to admit that I’m from NY sometimes.

They’re WARNING others?

I guess they don’t want anyone usurping their dynasty.

[blackdog]

Someone remind Schumer, Reid, and co, that they just hung or are about to hang /Baghdad Bob for making such threats to a knowing populace.

Doesn’t Vegas already have skyrocketing unemployment & home foreclosures??? WAIT HARRY, it’s gonna get worse!

Specifically, Schumer said the 112th Congress will “focus on the middle class like a laser,” and that he expects, as per tradition, Republicans will insist on tax cuts and Democrats will defend spending on infrastructure.

What a lie. Dems don't spend on infrastructure.

They line their own pockets and inflict on us what they wish and then tax us to pay for all of it.

Hey, yeah! Mebbe his ear-hole will get caught between the pistol and the air!

Today is Jim Robinsons’ birthday..If you haven’t donated to FR, today would be a good day to give.

Democrats better not PUSH their crap though the “Lame-Duck” session of Congress, and they better not obstruct the Republican Congress ability to rein in their bad legislation!~ HARRY REID; you have read the mandate for this congress wrong.

[blackdog]

I disagree. An election stolen becomes the victor’s worst nightmare post haste. The only thing worse than damaged goods is corrupt damaged goods. Dmage control in Nevada will have to be so overwhelming, that there is little time for anything else for Harry to do. He’s his own victim.

Senate Dems warn GOP not to block legislation

If the Republicans in the House learned anything from the election then it'll be the Democrats in the Senate blocking legislation and not the GOP.

[TJ Jackson]

Manchin has 6 long years now to not follow through on his conservative promises. I hold out no hope this guy is going to vote very often with the Republicans.

GO TO HELL HARRY!!

[blondee123]

Jim, this is the most I've seen you post here since I joined. They got you mad, for sure!

P.S. HAVE A GREAT BIRTHDAY!!

No. Ried was toast if we made this election only about him. Period. End of story. The only reason he won was because the race was not just about him....but about Angle, to. She was awful and was not ready for "prime time" so to speak. It was foolishness that she won our primary. It cost us.

But still, on the whole last night was an incredibly victory overall for our side. A huge, huge loss right at Obama (compare last night to 2002 or 2004, where the Country backed GWB and we gained seats). Obama lost 60 + seats in the House and 6 in the Senate. Huge losses in total.

Thanks for posting the list. We know whom to focus on beginning now.

Sen. Dems ‘WARN’?!

>>Senate Dems warn GOP not to block legislation

Or else.. what?

[CottonBall]

Same old Harry talking to a newly invigorated group of Senators. I can just hear Rand Paul’s response.

Not to mention he's also talking to the 1/3rd of the Senate up for reelection in 2 years, most of which are Dems. Fearing for their seats and seeing last night's massacre, they likely won't be as easy to push around either.

[Michael Barnes]

What a lie. Dems don't spend on infrastructure.

Like hell they don't! They just spend on infrastructure in such a way that we citizens catch in our wallets time and time again.

Currently in Western PA, homeowners are being forced into a sewage system at legal gunpoint. Don't want to pay that tap in fee? Lawyers filing against you; going for garnishment first, anything else next. Pay the fee but don't tie in? Get billed for monthly usage (even though you have not used anything!); lawyers come into play and they lein on your home. I'm not talking suburbia here, I'm talking out in the sticks.

"Shovel Ready"? Their ripping up little one laner bridges in that yokel area's left and right. The caveat? The jobs usually get done early (good job guys; seriously), but the bridges remain closed until the "projects" actual completion date (in other words, people getting paid on a job that is already done; and we can't use the damn things we are getting taxed on!!!).

I-79 in PA? Hell, it's riddled with orange pylons continually, same with Rt 60 and the turnpike. They just keep ripping up the same pieces over and over and over...WV doesn't seem to have these road problems. Hell, even Ohio has better roads.

When it comes to PA, Fed $$$ and Dem's, they'll keep the Fed $$$ for their pet peeves, tax us on promised work with said Fed $$$ and legal up on all of us when they can't get their way!!!!

Reid said. “Simply saying ‘No,’ as we’ve had this past Congress… won’t bring jobs back.

I'm so sick of the damn lies by these cowards! They didn't just say "NO" they offered ideas and they were REJECTED, you A-Hole, Harry Reid and the rest of you lying jack*sses!

I don't think they are in any position to be warning anyone! In fact, 2012 is just around the corner and we can take out a few more of you lying arrogant dumb*sses (who think we are all too stupid to figure it out) including Obama!

...or else what, Harry?
