GOP to Reid: You're next
politico.com ^ | 5 Aug 12 | By CHARLES MAHTESIAN

Posted on 08/05/2012 11:00:22 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

The Sunday news shows featured a rare spectacle that at once revealed the decline of civility in Washington and the depth of GOP outrage over Harry Reid’s unproven claim that Mitt Romney didn’t pay income taxes for an entire decade: two of the nation’s top GOP officials flat out called the Senate majority leader a liar.

That’s no ordinary criticism in official Washington.

There are plenty of other ways that pols use to call out their partisan rivals on their statements. Reid’s GOP counterpart, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for one, has already said Reid’s charge is “beneath the dignity” of his office.

I hear Harry Reid would feed young boys to Jerry Sandusky (D-Penn State).

There is one fact that I've not as yet seen much written about: Harry Reid is a Mormon; Mitt Romney is a Mormon.

Any LDS out there, what is the church position on claiming things about your fellow Mormons, without a speck of proof???

I know that believers are not supposed to speak ill of another believer (nothing at all about making up claims without a bit of truth) we are supposed to take any grievance of another believer first to that brother in private, next, going then with some other believers to take up the grievance again but never, ever go out in public with spurious claims against another.

Is this the same in the LDS church, can one make public claims about being either a tax cheat or other, which is tantamount to a criminal act or at least skirting the law? Christians aren't even supposed to stoop to gossip about another and presumably both Harry and Mitt are at the very least, in the Melchizedek Priesthood, are charged with greater responsibility of morality, are they not.

I don’t know about the child rapist, pedophile or homosexual but I have heard that he has at least two more wives (sisters married while he was married to the woman he refers to as his wife) and one of them had a child.

“Reid’s as crooked as they come. “

Eric Holder is Attorney General. I doubt Reid loses any sleep worrying about a criminal investigation of his activities.

Remember the Bush Justice Department had no time to investigate Reid or Nancy Pelosi’s husband’s sweet land deals involving government land in San Francisco. Jack Abramoff, a Republican, was the big corruption trial during the Bush Administration.

It seems Mitch to be under the mistaken impression that there is any dignity left in the Senate. All that is left in the U.S. Senate arrogance & power lust.

It goes way beyond house cleaning. Prison for life should be their reward for their treason.

I will never forgive the people of Nevada for sending that little sniveling piece of crap back to Washington. You mean the 3rd world voters and the thug Unionistas too? There was some speculation that the vote was also frauded some too. Harry has an appointment with un-instant karma just up ahead.

Harry Reid has been “mobbed up” for decades. I know because a little birdie told me so. Now it is up to Dingy Harry to prove that he is not.

That’s how it works in his authoritarian world - you have to prove your innocence as challenged by an anonymous telephone call.

Well Harry, you piece of shit, THE PHONE CALL JUST CAME IN.

Produce your records, including income taxes, donations, party pals, and any visits to the Mustang Ranch (photos are welcome).

I heard through an unnamed source that Harry Reid actually has 5 Swiss Bank Accounts and received well over $250 million from the stimulus from fake Nevada Corporations!

Reid has been causing trouble for this country a lot longer than No Brain Hussein.

“Why are we hitting on Reid. Obama is in charge of his campaign. Reid’s words are approved by Obama and Obama is the liar. Our leadership should be asking Obama to disavow Reid.”

I humbly submit you are wrong. What I would do now is run ads that tie Obama to Reid’s comments. Then force Obama to say something.

And with Reid’s son fronting on the China solar energy project, I would tie Obama and Solyndra to that.

Now Obama has to do something.

the decline of civility in Washington

What a joke. Liberals just cannot stop lying - if it is for the cause.

if only there was a way to prove him wrong... but, apparently, there isn’t. Dems get to say whatever they like about Romney’s taxes, because they can see that revealing them would be Game Over for Romney. I can see no other reason for him to allow this to continue. Awesome candidate, am I right??!

Giving up is not an option. Ever.

“...Perhaps extraterrestrials? ...”

Nah...

They’re just typical liberal tools.

Perfect examples of what we never want to see in power.
