A tea party group said they’re happy Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid was demoted with the wave of Republican elects Tuesday evening — but they’re not stopping there.
Next up, the Tea Party Express says — oust him.
The group is holding a “unity press conference” Thursday at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas to outline its plans for the 2016 election.
“We fired him last night as Senate majority leader, now our focus is on retiring him once and for all,” Tea Party Express executive director Taylor Budowich told The Hill. “That’s what the Tea Party’s focus is going to be right out of the gate. We aren’t going to be sitting on our hands waiting for a race to come to us.”

The Tea Party Express spent more than $1 million trying to toss Mr. Reid in 2010, but candidate Sharron Angle lost her bid against him by almost six percentage points.

It looks like we need Tea Party activists to plan on being like Mormon missionaries and go spend up to a few years in Nevada as campaigners for Reid's opponent.

Did Tom Daschle go down much the same way? Not sure.
*IF* Republicans do what they were elected to do over the next two years, Reid will become so irrelevant that retiring him will be more enjoyable than actually necessary.
I don’t believe they will. We should expect to see the race card played every time a Republican opens his mouth. It’s worked for 6 years. Will it continue to work? Probably.
How about arresting the sonofabitch for corruption? I miss a few parking tickets and the city steals my car, this punk ass does crap the mafia would do and he gets his ass kissed over and over and over and over and he’s A PUBLIC SERVANT!
New Probe Confirms Harry Reid’s Long History of Corruption
I think Sandoval is setting himself up to challenge Reid, and if he does, it will be a done deal. Reid will go down in flames. Hispanics will break for Sandoval who has sky high popularity.
Tea Partiers don’t have Democrat targets in 2016 for senate really. The only vulnerable dems will be Reid and Bennett in Colorado, and it might be a bad idea to risk running an ideologue against Bennett again (depending on the mood of the presidential election)
That being said, it does leave more money and energy to be spent on kicking out McLame and MurCOWski, maybe primarying Boozman or Isakson. We have to see off a Hatch-engineered challenge to unseat Mike Lee that they have been cooking up.
Hatch himself is retiring (Open seat). and David Vitter is running for LA governor (Open seat - Elbert Guillory?)
The Tea Party needs to make it known that entrenched GOP leaders that are willing to offer amnesty and comprehensive immigration reform to bring illegal immigrant and Hispanic voters into the fold, so they can win the Presidency in 2016 will pay a price.
The Tea Party needs to go for broke and threaten to split the GOP over this, many suspect that the slime bag political operatives and leadership such as Priebus, Rove, Boehner and McConnell will try and pull this off as their strategy to out Democrat the Democrats. This entrenched globalist party leadership needs swept clean.
At this point Harry Reid is such a discredited hack that if the Dems want to keep him as their leader and base their reputation on him, that is fine with me. Voters look at Harry, Barry, Kerry and Hillary and recoil with repulsion.
Yes on primarying Isakson. He is, if possible, a worse RINO than Chambliss was. Unlike Chambliss, Isakson will not resign. He needs to be primaried by a conservative.
“How about arresting the sonofabitch for corruption? I miss a few parking tickets and the city steals my car, this punk ass does crap the mafia would do and he gets his ass kissed over and over and over and over and he’s A PUBLIC SERVANT!”
Congress needs new blood and to change out leadership with every new Congress, regardless of Party. Power corrupts. Give them 6 years and send them to rank and file in House and Senate.

I think grassroots Mormons in Utah & Nevada need to step it up and publicly shame Harry Reid for his political track record. (If not, they continue to be part of the cover-up problem!)
The Mormon Church needs to consider firing Harry Reid as an officially sanctioned "home teacher" within its midst.
Why? Oh, here's a few good summaries...just for starters:
* Harry Reid: the epitome of corruption
* HARRY: Money, Mob & Influence (Book in Searchlight) (by FREEPER Daxton Brown)
What? You didn't know that Harry Reid was a faithful Lds church-sanctioned "home teacher" in the D.C. area?
The Salt Lake Tribune ran an October 2009 article Harry Reid: A Mormon in the Middle
Here were two “interesting” comments by fellow Mormons about Reid, including one from Sen. Orrin Hatch:
Bennett's Utah Senate colleague, Orrin Hatch, says it's not fair for fellow Mormons to disparage Reid as anything but a devout Mormon..."I can personally tell you that Harry is a good member of the LDS faith and he was expressing a personal opinion that his side feels very deeply about," Hatch says.
This Trib article also mentioned how ”Today, Reid, with his security escort in tow, likely will be making his home teaching rounds after his ward's three-hour service. Anyone who questions his Mormon credentials should see that, says Jim Vlock, his home-teaching companion.

He was Taxby’s mini-me, and I seem to remember him being a big Thad Cochran sycophant. Time to flush him. Goergia can do better. Handel would see him off.
Sandoval just got re-elected. It might not look so good if he steps down in a couple of years to run for Senate. I think he should stay and build his resume in NV rather than getting lost in the tedium of the Senate. He’s only 51 - plenty of time. He may emerge as a Presidential candidate within a decade.
Let me tell you how bad Isakson is. I called his office during the first big Amnesty push. I got an aide who sounded like she was 14. I asked her why I could only get through to my own senator on his special Spanish language hotline #. [Don’t know if you recall this, but during the first Amnesty Gang-of-Eight crap, we could only reliably reach our senators via their special Spanish language hotlines.] She said, matter of factly, “English is not the official language of this country.”
If I could have come through that phone...it wouldn’t have been pretty. I have pushed for Isakson’s primary ouster ever since.
As Chucky Schmucky salivates in the background for his shot at the senate throne.
If we can recruit a solid challenger, I’m all in.
