Harry Reid: GOP 'May Have Helped' Russia Annex Crimea

[Sir Napsalot]

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said Republican senators may have helped "Russia annex Ukraine's Crimean Peninsula" by blocking legislation containing new sanctions against Russia prior to a March 14th Senate break.

In an AP report, GOP Senate aides noted that the House and Senate versions of sanctions differed so much that no bill could have passed before March 14th without "taking up the House legislation" – but Reid refused to allow House legislation to be taken up.

Moreover, Reid also didn't mention that the Senate bill includes "reforms of the International Monetary Fund" (IMF) which the administration has been trying to get the GOP to embrace since 2010. Senate Republicans fear the changes would "increase the exposure of U.S. taxpayers in foreign bailouts managed by the fund." .......

[Sir Napsalot]

Still Bush's (Tea Party/whatever) fault too?

[Sir Napsalot]

Can't we all hold hands and sing Kumbaya, no?

Reid rather sing-a-long with anybody (our enemies included) other than GOP/Tea Party/conservatives?

Reid always spews his lies behind his putrid little liars pulpit on the Senate floor.

The creepy little maggot hasn’t the guts to say it elsewhere.

[Former Proud Canadian]

The leadership of the democrat party (Reid, Pelosi, Obama, Kerry, Biden et. al.) will say ANYTHING, no matter how obtuse. A neutral press would pillory a politician for saying something so stupid.

How long can your republic last with a press this biased?

[shalom aleichem]

Sorry Harry. This is all Obama’s baby.

[BitWielder1]

Remember, the left always accuses their opposition of what they themselves are doing.
Reid's statement tells me something that I already suspected.

[dforest]

True, they actually never call these people out for saying stupid things.

Probably because they are also very stupid.

[Da Coyote]

The tur...er...Obamathing... floating in my toilet has more intelligence than Whorehouse Harry.

No one gives a smelly Obama what that idiot says anymore.

[Paladin2]

Reid is a Commie.

[Usagi_yo]

He has to do this from well, like with Romney and the Tax issues, he’s immune to charges of slander on the chambers floor.

It’s up to his fellow senators to reign him in, and the left side simply won’t.

How many tons of ammunition did Barry force removed form Ukraine? When a demoRat says something like this he usually is neck deep in it and wants as much disinformation as possible to cover his job.

[4yearlurker]

Reid has got to be the slimiest POS to ever come down the pike. He can say and do anything and a willing media will lap it up and spew it to the public as fact with a straight face. How long can our Republic last?

[tgusa]

In an earlier day, the opposition leader would simply kick his @$$ on the Senate floor. The citizenry would follow up with tar and feathers.

[Old Sarge]

And no one calls him on it. No one ever will. Between media whores and GOP cowards, they know they can say anything.

[ozzymandus]

Harry is a nasty little piece of...work.

[Farmer Dean]

Too bad dueling was outlawed so long ago.

[dowcaet]

Good lord these Democrats never cease to amaze.

[VeniVidiVici]

No, I don’t think so. I think Global Warming was behind the Russian annexation of Crimea.

[norwaypinesavage]

It's time to follow Boehner's lead, and call a spade a spade: Reid is completely unhinged, as is Pelosi and some other 'leaders' in the Democrat party. It is simply irrelevant to distinguish between derangement and lies. "Unhinged" covers it all.

If enough people start dismissing these people as "unhinged" it will start getting attention.

[ArtDodger]

Allow me to translate Liberaleze into English for you..
“The GOP may have helped Russia Annex Crimea” means “the Dems caused this by showing Putin the current US government is spineless and can be walked upon. Furthermore, certain democratic politicians may have actually been involved in giving the Russians information that encouraged them to act in the aggressive fashion they did. Therefore it is imperative to blame the GOP for the same despicable behavior as the democrats are guilty of so that the ‘Hey, everyone does it’ excuse can be used by the media to hold the public attention long enough for this to blow over.”
