Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said Monday that Republicans may have helped Russia annex Ukraines Crimean Peninsula in a surprisingly sharp attack ahead of a test vote on a bill authorizing more U.S. sanctions on Russia and $1 billion in loan guarantees to Ukraine. [

Reids charge comes despite widespread support among Republicans and Democrats in Congress for providing Ukraine with much-needed economic assistance and hitting Russian President Vladimir Putins government with sanctions.

It’s also common knowledge that the fact Moochelle has a big butt despite her allegedly healthy eating habits is all the Republicans’ fault.

By the time Nuclear Harry ends his vaudeville impersonation of a lunatic Senator denouncing the opposition for its role in Crimea, Vladimir Putin will have already taken over Ukraine, so there will no longer be a reason for Congress to send aid to the already-conquered Ukrainians.

Of course it couldn’t have had anything to do with Hillary’s Russian reset!

If ever anyone deserved to be punched in the mouth on the Senate floor, it’s Reid.

Dingy Harry Reid,
he's always projecting his personality traits onto others.
Here's something to consider about liberals, and conservatives.
The liberal's problem is psychological projection.
Liberals do this all the time.
Here's a definition.Freudian ProjectionThe following is a collection of definitions of projection from orthodox psychology texts.
In this system the distinct mechanism of projecting own unconscious or undesirable characteristics onto an opponent is called Freudian Projection.
- "A defense mechanism in which the individual attributes to other people impulses and traits that he himself has but cannot accept.
It is especially likely to occur when the person lacks insight into his own impulses and traits."
- "The externalisation of internal unconscious wishes, desires or emotions on to other people.
So, for example, someone who feels subconsciously that they have a powerful latent homosexual drive may not acknowledge this consciously, but it may show in their readiness to suspect others of being homosexual."
- "Attributing one's own undesirable traits to other people or agencies, e.g., an aggressive man accuses other people of being hostile."
- "The individual perceives in others the motive he denies having himself.
Thus the cheat is sure that everyone else is dishonest.
The would-be adulterer accuses his wife of infidelity."
- "People attribute their own undesirable traits onto others.
An individual who unconsciously recognises his or her aggressive tendencies may then see other people acting in an excessively aggressive way."
- "Projection is the opposite defence mechanism to identification.
We project our own unpleasant feelings onto someone else and blame them for having thoughts that we really have."
And here's a problem with honest people.
(General) ProjectionHere projection is assuming that others act or perceive similarly according to this definition it is not necessary for a projected trait to be undesirable or unconscious.
Projection is probably inherent in social animals and the single most important psychological mechanism.
The following are given as examples:
- Individual A assumes that B sees the colour red as he does, until informed that B is colour-blind;
- Someone who never lies is easy to deceive because he projects his truthfulness onto others, assuming that others are honest also;
- It takes one to know one;
- An inept con-man fears that others are trying to cheat him, signals his fear and alerts others;
- (Freudian) An individual who possesses malicious characteristics, but who is unwilling to perceive himself as a protagonist, convinces himself that his opponent feels and would act the same way.
Liberals constantly project their own vile values onto conservatives, intentionally or unintentionally,
and they need to called on it, shamed on it, and laughed at to scorn, when they do it.
We MUST get rid of these evil people.

The Commissioner was not dealing with a full deck when he was on the Nevada Gaming Board years ago. But enough influence bought in the right places will cover up a lot of what would otherwise be serious handicaps to public service.
All told, Dingy Harry has the moral stature of a diamondback rattlesnake. That hot Nevada sun baked the skull full of mush in his head early in life.

Diamondback rattlesnakes are what they are, and do not pretend to be elder statesmen. That said, elder statesmen are supposed to be responding to some kind of moral compass and employing some kind of rationality in their pronouncements.
Harry Reid lacks both a moral compass and any kind of rational thinking.

This is Not-A-Ping-To-Sarah's-Awesome-List!The Boss Just Figured Out Sarah's Plan.
Its all Palins fault.
Youre damned right it is! She saw this coming from her house and she didnt say a word!!!!!
This Stupidity of Reid's hast to be seen to be believed.
This is the kind of Crisis that should have been resolved through Good Diplomacy before it even happened.
Step one of that Diplomacy is not have a Pill Pedaling Homo President working against the U.S.A's best interests.
We should have (and still should) do what Sarah Palin said and that is Drill our our own Fossil Fuels and Natural Gas. That will help undercut the Russian's Enormous Profits they are getting.
There is no downside to drilling for natural gas. None! This is a prime opportunity to sell gas to Europe, we get much needed money, jobs and infrastructure, they get more diversified source of Natural Gas. Everyone wins!
