The Senate's top Democrat told a home state newspaper he expects the conservative movement's grasp on the GOP to diminish.

Just what does Harry Reid wan’t? I would have personally busted his chops in his day. I can do it now. He thinks he knows what the divinity is but he completely sold out. Harry, bring your boys against mine and lets see who is talking.

He's correct.

The two are not necesarilly the same, and the 'hold' on the GOP, if any, is for educational purposes.

I’m a bit of a prolific person and must ignore in my world many, because they have no respect coming from this realist.

I think Harry’s been hitting the weed a little too hard.

This is just a wish on his part. If anything the GOP needs to worry that the Tea Party doesn’t bolt and become a real third party.

I’m certain the Tea Party will outlast Harry Reid.
