That's all I could post with out going over the excerpt guidelines.

It's well worth it to read the whole article at the link.

I particularly liked the subtitle:

How could such a thoroughly unappealing man have gotten so far in politics?

What’s so mysterious? In government scum tends to rise to the top.

Or how could such a stupid man have gotten so far?

Harry's poll numbers for reelection are tanking but he just keeps trying to ram Obamacare through the Senate.

LOL how true!

The internet has them running scared, as illustrated from this quote from The New York Times:

“I used to firmly believe that the bully pulpit only had one microphone,” said Mike McCurry, White House press secretary for President Bill Clinton in the mid-1990s. “But in the age of new media, that’s probably changed. There is one ‘conversation’ in the mainstream media at any hour, but there are hundreds of them coursing across the Web.”
I made some words bigger...

Yup.

Once the commission was going to deny a mobster with a long list of felonies from getting a gaming license, but Dirty Harry gave it the go ahead.

He's still very well connected

Harry Reid is such a nothing as a human being that it’s even hard to think of silly pictures to make of him. He just doesn’t.... I don’t even know what. He just doesn’t.

What a wretched piece of filth.

It’s not just Harry Reid.
Thanks to the post-obama deluge and obvious scorn for the people and Constitution by the oligarchy, we are all getting to know up close the likes of Arlen Specter, Olympia Snowe, Susan Collins, Nan Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Babs Boxer, Barney Frank, Henry Waxman... I could go on.

How could such miserable stupid arrogant people be elected time and time again?

Harry Reid summed up by the greats!

“He is not only dull himself, he is the cause of dullness in others.”
- Samuel Johnson

“Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.”
- Oscar Wilde

There's just something about Harry. I'd guess he's totally unattractive to both sexes.

History is a bummy Harry - It was the democrats who were for slavery. They even filibustered the Civil Rights Bill.

I think we’d be joining you on the wrong side of history again, were we to go with your generational theft plan. It amounts to the economic enslavement of subsequent generations of Americans.

There are eggs in the ovaries of grandchildren that are going to owe close to $100K as soon as they are born.

As such, I’d have to vote ‘no’.

“How could such a thoroughly unappealing man have gotten so far in politics?”

At times this puzzles me as well. On the other hand, the Harpy, the Crypt Keeper and the Empty Suit perfectly defines and represents the modern Democrat Party.
