This little despicable man has really lost his marbles. I guess he thinks if he keeps screeching someone may actually listen to him. Really, the guy is just weird.

Let me guess - this “energy efficiency bill” will either cost the consumer more or reduce our standard of living.

Harry Reid needs to be taken out in chains and confined to a padded cell for the rest of his life.

Aw, Harry is just exhibiting his continued mental decline.

I think dementia, although a few of my colleagues point to drugs.

I’d much rather be a greased pig than a communist pig like you, Harry.

Oh, so the Republicans are to blame for Keystone not being signed by the President after a 5 year wait. And here I was thinking it was Bushes fault...
I guess Harry needs to go to their houses with SWAT teams helicopters, attack dogs, snipers etc.
