Reid leaves a legacy of wreckage

The first order of business for the U.S. Senate under Republican Mitch McConnell will be getting the Senate back in business. For most of the last four years, Democrat Harry Reid manipulated what was once the world’s greatest deliberative body for political purposes, not for the hard task of governing.

The House passed more than 300 bills but they mostly died from neglect in the Senate. What little legislation that made it to the floor crashed as Reid manipulated Senate rules to ban amendments and debate. When Republicans refused to bow to his tin-pot dictatorial rule, he accused them of obstructionism.

It will take years to repair the damage done by Obama, Reid and Pelosi.

And they are not done yet. They are still screwing things up.

Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Fineswine, Kerry, the Clintoons, Biden are the ancient pos’s of the rat party.

They came into power during the 1960/70’ because of their hatred of America, and they haven’t change that core belief.

Their so called younger replacements are abortion Barbies and Ken Dolls without a complete central nervous system.

Hopefully, they will be checking into the Democrat Roach Motel for the rest of their miserable lives.

Dingy’s legacy is he did nothing, and, blamed it all on the Republicans.

THE OBAMA/REID/PELOSI LEGACY

Barack Obama, Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi showed America just how weak and powerless the Constitution, the senate and the congress are against just a few serious criminals in positions of power.

He is not done. Don’t think so for a second. The dems will filibuster anything and everything, even bills that they would have voted for in the past. Obama Obama over everything.

Not if Common Core has anything to do with it. CC will claim Reid was the savior of the country by blocking all the damaging Republican legislation.

Don’t dis agree. Thus, to repair the damage eliminate the filibuster. The dim’s vote in lock step, let em lose in lock step.

Reid’s legacy is nothing but wreckage.

There is a mode of thought characterized by disintegration that leads to the libtard worldview of pragmatism, postmodernism, and nihilism. These result in an assault on and destruction of good systems and their replacement by juxtapositions.

The two are not related. That's like saying "You ran the football 90 yards to the opponents end zone! Hole-in-one!"

“It will take years to repair the damage done by Obama, Reid and Pelosi.”

Years? We should only be so lucky... Try decades, those injustices will be in the Federal courts until they die, and they wont die for many decades to come.

I suppose the silver-lining is with more and more lawless Federal Courts the people will start to see the Federal injustice system for what it is, an ideological body of dictators who have overthrown the Federal constitution on behalf of their appointees.

This realization may help us in the effort to pass amendments to re-install Checks and balances into our system but we have to act fast and steadfastly.

Getting education right obviously has to be one of the highest priorities for republicans in the legislators. Making sure the next generation knows what the Constitution really says and what Government is really not suppose to be doing to a free people is the key to future liberty.
