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 Reids unproven claim that Mitt Romney didnt pay income taxes for an entire decade: two of the nations top GOP officials flat out called the Senate majority leader a liar.
Thats no ordinary criticism in official Washington.
There are plenty of other ways that pols use to call out their partisan rivals on their statements. Reids GOP counterpart, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for one, has already said Reids charge is beneath the dignity of his office.
I will never understand why it takes “balls” to stomp on a sniveling little weasel like Reid. I mean the guy is one notch above the lowest form of scum on earth (Pelosi).
Reid is as LOW as they come, but here’s the hidden danger in going after him, even though I KNOW it would be very easy to find a dozen clattering skeletons in his closet: it all but validates his groundless claim that Mitt Romney paid no taxes for ten years. It’s a classic baiting technique, and a way of starting a “relationship” with your accuser. They can obfuscate and set up barriers to investigating Reid’s dirty laundry while continuing their groundless charges against Romney. The GOP’s attacks on Reid, however easily substantiated, therefore look like tacit admissions of ROMNEY’S “guilt” as charged.
In Nevada, Alaska, and everywhere else the real enemy these days are the liberal Republicans! We can’t defeat people like Reid until we defeat the enemies who lurk amongst us pretending to be conservatives while openly pouring out their contempt and bile upon REAL conservatives like Joe Miller, Sharon Angle, and...God Bless her, Sarah Palin.
That is rich. The GOP establishment did what they could to undermine Sharon Angle and keep Reid in office.
