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.”
dont think there is any fear of that ..
You have it EXACTLY right correct! I don't understand why we let ourselves be labelled as "right wing." Makes us sound like a bunch of whackos. As the basis of our entire system, the Constitution is, by definition, the very center.
Harry is soooo concerned for the Republican Party. He seems to be coming out with advice everyday.
Yes, the Republicans should be listening to Reid and running hard left. It has worked so well after all.
Pinky Reid ,you should not be lead around by the communist party.
“U.S. Senate Majority Leader” Dirty Harry wouldn’t make a good greeter at Wal-Mart, he’s too old and too stupid! Thanks Nevada, for less than nothing.
Harry knows what he is talking about. You see, Harry and his party followed the George Soros dictate and you see where it got us!
Seems the Republicans are paying attention to his counsel.
In the interests of better government and meaningful representation, we really should implement a senility test for the Senate and Congress.
It’s bad enough that conservatives get lectured by worthless RINOs. Now this half-witted, little crime boss Reid is telling us what to do.
He's most of the way there!
Congress created this mess. If Congress won’t get us out of it, vote in a new Congress.
“That is why it is important that we keep our focus on jobs”
This arrogant idiot still believes he can bullsh## us
Is there a governmental mess that Congress did NOT create?
Talking point Obama's using too. Obviously this is a setup.
Harry needs to be retired in 2012.
Put a sock in it Harry.
Just who in the hell do they think they represent?
