Washington, D.C.—Nevada Senator Harry Reid made the following statement during a conference call with Senate Democratic leadership regarding ongoing budget negotiations:
“Even as our economy turns around, many people in Nevada and across the country continue to struggle. That is why it is important that we keep our focus on jobs, and that my Republican colleagues not allow themselves to be pulled to the right by the tens of Tea Partiers who showed up to the Capitol yesterday. Unfortunately, today my colleagues in the House seem to be listening to this small but loud minority. Instead of working to create jobs, they are wasting time by voting yet again on a reckless spending bill that would destroy 700,000 jobs.
“Our fragile economy cannot afford a shutdown. Last time there was a shutdown, $3 billion in exports sat idle in our ports instead of being sold overseas. Fortunately, I am happy to say that negotiations towards a compromise are moving forward. We will be working through the weekend to forge a compromise, and I hope that cooler heads continue to prevail as we work to make smart cuts.”
Harry Reid should not allow himself to make a bigger a$$ out of himself.
Wow! Thanks Harry! PLEASE give us more advice on votes, positions to take, etc. We all know Harry only wants the repub party to be successful! What an awesome guy!
FUHR
Tea Party folks are people too!!!
They might actually be American Citizens, Harry.
You may or may not know, but citizens are rumored to have rights and you are supposed to protect those rights - because they pay your tab and you work for them!!!!!!.
JOBS and the ECONOMY can only be successfully created and maintained BY THE PRIVATE SECTOR.
I wish there was some way to thank him properly, but the next opportunity to do so doesn't come until 2016.
Hitler to United States - “War Department should not seek air superiority over the Axis powers.”
Now we know for SURE Repubs should follow the Tea Party!
Thanks Dingy!
The tea party isn’t trying to pull the GOP to the right, they’re trying to pull the party to the center.
Even as our economy turns around, many people in Ohio and across the country continue to struggle. That is why it is important that we keep our focus on reducing spending, and that my Democratic colleagues not allow themselves to be pulled to the left by the ten communists who showed up to the Wisconsin Capitol. Unfortunately, today my colleagues in the Senate seem to be listening to this small but loud minority. Instead of working to create jobs, they are wasting time by voting yet again on a reckless spending bill that would destroy small businesses,jobs, savings, and the value of our dollar.
There, boners reply just waiting for him.
Allow me to rephrase: "my Republican colleagues not allow themselves to represent those that voted for them in the largest shift in political power in decades."
The Democrats should not allowed themselves to be pulled to the left by the Communist Party... Oh that’s right, they ARE the Communist Party (just going by a different name for now)...

On March 5, 2010, Senator Harry Reid said, 'Today is a big day in America.
Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.'
Oh, I think Dirty Harry will get his “thanks” waaaay before that.
Reid, Mind your own business, you DemocRAT SCUM.
Real cowboys are songwriters, not poets
Good point.
Let's get them to the center first, then we'll talk about moving them to the right.
