No way Reid will try to “mend fences” with republicans. Nasty little weasel. He can’t live forever.
Why should Reid try to mend fences.
He has the majority, he has the Senate by the balls. The Republican minority leader Mitch McConnell is soft and pliable, and is no danger to anything Reid wants to do/
As for Boehner he is even softer than McConnell, and certainly he and Reid have a good relationship, because Boehner isn’t going to fight for anything. Boehner may whine and cry a bit , but when it comes down to the Nitty Gritty, he will fold like a cheap suit.
Reid is partisan because they let him get aay with it, if once in a while they pulled his chain he would straighten up fast, but they don’t, they just whine and back off.
If we had one Republican who would speak up and continue speaking up Republicans would gain strength. The Republican strength died when Gingrich left. No one has taken his place.
Why would Reid care about working with Republicans? He knows he has the press on his side--to hell with Republicans, who needs them?
Tell Reid: GFY.
Hold him with his loose tongue accountable.
Harry Reid is constitutionally incapable of mending any fences, his agenda is to create scorched earth wherever he has direct dealings with Republicans and especially conservative Republicans.
Leaving the region of potential compromise sown with radioactivity is an effective way to never have to build, tear down, or repair any fence. And since he has to answer to nobody except the Democrat majority in the Senate, he is not likely to ever listen to constructive criticism.
Neat little suzerainty he has built up for himself. Harry is no Darth Vader, but he certainly is Senator Palpatine, and has mastered the Dark Side.
I suppose this would explain why he hasn't produced a budget in two years.
eff him.
I've found it works best to hold their head under until the bubbles stop coming up...

PS Of course I'm talking about drowning weasels, I know for fact that it works on bigger rats too.
