“...and now faces the delicate task of mending his relationship with the GOP.”

Does anyone really thinks he ‘shives-a-git’?

If the Republicans were smart, they would nominate Mitt Romney for Speaker of the House.

LOL!!

Is there any wonder why this nation is in the state it's in?

"Sen. Reid knows as well as anyone there's a time for politics and a time for governing" said Rodell Mollineau, a former senior aide to Reid. "The time for politics has passed. First and foremost, Sen. Reid cares about governing. So now that the election is over, he would want to find a consensus to move things forward."

What a bunch of codswallop.

Hey GOP.... If you had a pair, You would tell Reid to go f@#k himself

Never happen. Seeing themselves as "gentlemen" and "above the fray", the Republican leadership (and many if not most in the Senate caucus) will want to "get along" and "get things done" with the Democrat Socialists.

Yet another reminder of the validity of the alternate name for the Republican Party -- i.e., the "Stupid Party".

Let me tell you this story.

Charles Lollar ran for Steny Hoyers seat in 2010 he was a man running much as Allen West. A brilliant black man, Conservative, Well spoken, he beat Steny in every debate they had, I worked hard to get him elected, but his fellow blacks in Northern Charles County and Prince George’s County were too used to Steny’s entitlements ,and he was beaten.

This year we had Mr. O’Donnell run for Steny’s seat. Mr. O’Donnell worked hard, but the odds were stacked against him. Mr. O’Donnell was well qualifies as he had served as a State representative for many years and was head of the Minority in the State legislature.

Mr. Lollar was asked to help Mr. O’Donnell , but he did not.

Now Charles Lollar is thinking of running for Governor, and because of his refusal to help O’Donnell I am having a hard time making up my mind whether or not to back Mr. Lollar.

I like Mr. West a lot, a helluva lot, but let’s wait and see what he does in the next two years to help Republcans before we reach an ironclad devotion.

Reid will lie to anyone anytime to advance his leftist agenda. He has carried water for Pelosi and Obama for the last 4 years and I don’t see that changing as Reid doesn’t know any better. We lost a good chance to rid ourselves of the Nevada idiot in 2010 and now are stuck with him throughout Obama’s reign. Look for him to smooze with the republicans, but then blame them for everything bad in the past, current or the future. Harry is a human loser and except for the unions in Vegas would have been herding goats in the Nevada desert by now.

Reid belongs in the mental ward of a federal prison and it is where he should live out the remainder of his bitter insanity.

Any republican who cooperates with him or does not actively work to destroy him politically is not keeping his or her oath of office.

The Republicans TALK a big story, but they’ll work with “their good friend across the aisle”.

Who is kidding whom? The GOP will go behind closed doors and begin to take apart the taxpayer like wolves in the wild.

Yea, this is a puff piece. Setting up for GOP refuses to work with Reid type deal.

I believe Allen West could have been a great leader but voter fraud made sure they didn’t happen.

You forget (or ignore) the Republicans who re-drew his district to make sure he wouldn't return to office.

I would like West to come back to Tennessee where he can run for Senator against Alexander. Alexander will side with Dingy more often than not.

Why should Reid try to mend fences.

Precisely. This article is nothing more than an a false-front effort to prop up Reid's reputation after all the good work he did for the DemocRAT cause.

Reed is just Obama’s mouth piece.

Not seeing a sarcasm tag, I just rolled my eyes and moved on. But if this was a serious proposal, then you’re right.

Go F*** yourself Reid. You only want Republicans so you can pin the next government dictated disaster on them. You and the Dems own this mess.
