Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he will work with Republicans when he's in the minority, vowing it will not be “get-even time.”

Reid means this in the sense of expanding government. Propose almost any expansion of FedGov, and he will support. Propose legislation to shrink FedGov back toward its proper size, and he will lead the Party of No.

Ha!

This is from the little weasel who has been on top and was gleefully smashing us in the face for eight years and now that we are on top wants to call a truce and compromise?

I don't think so, Senator Rat Face. I don't think so...
