Senator Reid Scores Early Victory as Opposition Leader But minority leader warns fellow Democrats against taking victory laps after homeland security win

By Siobhan Hughes and Michael R. Crittenden

WASHINGTON—Senate Democrats think they have had a good couple of weeks, including a win in a battle over immigration and homeland security funding, but their leader is warning members of his caucus against taking any victory laps.

“We cannot be gloating,” Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) said he told his caucus at a closed-door meeting on Tuesday.

“We have a lot of things we have to work on, and we have to be able to work with” Senate Republicans, who control 54 seats, Mr. Reid said in an interview in his Capitol office Wednesday.

What is there to brag about?

As Leader of the Senate he should hold the winning cards.

And McConnell should make sure he has them again for the next issue.

Seesh, and the Republicans took the majority of the seats in the Senate.

Coulter: GOP Gave Dems Votes for Cheap Labor on Exec Amnesty
Breitbart

by Ian Hanchett 4 Mar 2015

Columnist and author of “Never Trust a Liberal Over 3-Especially a Republican,” Ann Coulter said that on the president’s executive action on immigration, “the Democrats want it for the votes, the Republican businesses want it for the cheap labor” on Wednesday’s “Sean Hannity Show.”

“If you don’t like what the Obama administration’s doing or how he’s treating Netanyahu, or Obamacare, or you don’t want Hillary Clinton to be the next president, well the Democrats just got 30 million new voters. They will be voting by the time Obama is out of office” she stated.

Opposition leader? He’s still calling the shots and the senate republicans are bowing down to kiss his butt.

This morning A Cspan caller, identifying himself as Hispanic, said the white people who have taken over this country should pray for a benevolent leader like Mandela because with any other leader, there will be blood in the streets when they take it back!!

I take that as a threat.

McConnell needs to pay close attention to how Miniority Leaders acts and maneuvers.

If McConnell doesn’t get it, he is in danger of returning to minority status after the next election.

So far, the majority leadership in BOTH chambers has been anything but stellar.

A South African future is exactly what we are headed for. When whites are the minority (in five years time) we will see the peaceful multiculturalists for what they really are. All I can say is that white people better have an escape route planned.

Harry Reid is still the Majority Leader in the Senate.

Nancy Pelosi still runs the House.

November, 2014 has been rendered irrelevant by the GOP-E.

They need to go the way of the Whigs.

Time is awasting.

The media covered up what they did. The cover-up must continue.
