U.S. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Wednesday "House Republicans have truly lost their minds" under a popular definition of insanity.
Reid, speaking of House GOP leaders' plan to hold a 37th vote on repealing the Affordable Care Act -- commonly known as "Obamacare" -- cited a statement often attributed to Albert Einstein, that insanity is defined as "doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
"If that's true, the House Republicans have truly lost their minds," Reid said in a speech on the Senate floor.
Noting that House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said after the 2012 election "Obamacare is the law of the land," Reid said, "Tea Party extremists bullied the speaker into holding another vote to repeal the Affordable Care Act, and roll back benefits for tens of millions of Americans."
Reid pointed out Boehner had said last week 70 freshmen members of Congress who had not previously had an opportunity to cast a vote to repeal the healthcare reform law have "been asking for an opportunity to vote on it."
He said House Republicans "will waste this week on yet another dead-end repeal vote."
"Perhaps Republicans think the 37th time is the charm." Reid said.
Citing a CBS News analysis putting the cost of the repeal votes at "$52.4 million and counting," Reid said that was enough money "to restore funding for 19 million meals for homebound seniors or 6,900 children dropped from the Head Start program" under federal spending cuts known as the sequester.
"Fortunately, Republicans' latest repeal effort -- their latest exercise in insanity, as described by Albert Einstein -- is doomed to fail like all the others," he said.
But ain't it tasty.
Don't worry too much. Good will win out even til the End of Times.
Of course, in the End of Times...the victory will be a bit more dramatic.;-)

Let’s make this corpsely libtard minority leader in 2014.
I fully expect nobama to come out and really blister Dingy’s ass for making these comments. They are hateful, divisive, and do not promote a sense of “working together.”
Then again, it could be Harry’s looking for his own dog to wag.
A small yippy dog. Ankle biter.
Just about everything that comes out of his mouth is an insult to my intelligence. He truly is an evil and very very sick man.
Of course Boehner’s stupid comment is coming back to bite him.
I smell fear. Good.
They also seem to have lost their minds. That's what happens when people let go of the Truth.
Life is not relative...it is absolute.
When folks reinterpret life with relative values (i.e. everyone is OK...there is no sin, no evil)...life disintegrates into chaos and confusion. It no longer makes sense.
And those who believe this tripe become insane...they have no anchor...no baseline for sanity.
They believe they are sane...while all the time they spout insane principles.
Important here to define sanity.
Sanity is the rational grasp nearest reality. Those who grab onto reality at the closest point will survive...those at the other end will die and be forgotten.
Its weird seeing the word 'popular' in any article related to Obamacare.
Well like my mom always said, if at first you don’t succeed, try try again
How lazy they have gotten. It’s supposed to be “Wildly Popular”!
Nancy Pelosi sounds even dumber than than the other two.
Majority Leader Reid has refused to allow the Senate to vote on any of the previous pieces of repeal legislation passed by the House. After this one passes, he will again refuse to allow the Senate to vote on it. Does he fear that repeal might pass in the Senate also?
Reid should be asked about socialism, even though it fails in everything, he and the Democrats keep trying to force it on people who want nothing to do with it.
Ooooo, I'm an extremist.
"Extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice. And moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virtue." - Barry Goldwater.
I love the extremists among Congressional Republicans and despise all of the moderates there.
Exactly, they have had the power to kill this from day one. Bonehead has been funding it.
I’m going to find a great vet for my dog.
