Reid: No bowing to ‘Tea Party anarchists’ on Obamacare
lasvegassun.com ^ | September 23, 2013 | Karoun Demirjian

Sticks and stones may break bones, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just hopes his words are enough to get Republicans to back off Obamacare.

“We’re not going to bow to Tea Party anarchists who deny the mere fact that Obamacare is the law,” Reid said this morning.

That was just the start of it, though.

Reid used words like "fanatic" and "extremist" to describe Republicans threatening to hold up a budget until Congress votes to defund Obamacare and its exchanges, which open for enrollment in eight days.

“Are Republicans so intent on undermining President Obama and the signature health care law that they’re willing to inflict severe damage to our economy in the process?” Reid asked. “If Democrats don’t bow to every demand they have, we’re going to go right over the cliff...Americans will know exactly who to blame — Republican fanatics in the House and Senate.”

Reid was not directing his words at the entire GOP. He was more interested in pulling Republicans away from the Obamacare cliff by turning its members against each other.

“I see more of my moderate Republican colleagues stepping up to speak sense to an extremist element of their own party,” Reid said. “A few reasonable Republicans are wise enough to know that risking the nation’s economic recovery for the sake of a pyrrhic ideological victory would be another step toward a death knell for the Republican Party.”

“I say to the House and Senate Republicans who continue to deny reality...listen to the chorus all around you. Listen to what they’re saying,” Reid said. “Your conservative Senate colleagues urge you off this reckless course...What remains to be seen is whether my Republican colleagues on both sides of the capitol are wise enough to listen.”

If they want to stay where they are, they will listen to their constituents.

They are all REALLY, REALLY pissed that Cruz and Lee are making them actually work!

And Cruz has been a senator a short eight months. By the end of his first term, the senate will be torn asunder.

All carefull poll-tested adjectives and nouns.

Reid should be either in jail or a mental institution for the criminally drooling.

For shame, Whore House Harry.

As a Tea Party supporter, I’d bow to you.

But, I’ll be turned around, facing the other way, doing certain actions.

Some people would call it showing your sorry prune face the full moon.

And at no extra cost, I’ll f*rt in your general direction.

Which would provide you with roughly 10x the respect you deserve, you little piece of excrement.

He can ask Obama how to bow. He’s good at it.

Babe, Reid isn’t worth one-tenth of that effort.

A law that was crammed down our throats through government chicanery is a law that should be fought over and over until it is gone
