WASHINGTON — Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obama’s ambitious agenda against fierce Republican resistance.
Mr. Reid, 75, who suffered serious eye and facial injuries in a Jan. 1 exercise accident at his Las Vegas home, said he had been contemplating retiring from the Senate for months. He said his decision was not attributable either to the accident or to his demotion to minority leader after Democrats lost the majority in November’s midterm elections.

the suggestion that the wimp-in-chief obozo would actually hit someone is way beyond ludicrous.

“Nobody retires from the senate.”
Excellent point. There’s definitely something dingy about all this.

Most Freepers know I wrote Reid’s only bio. I literally just finished a massive update this morning. Reid has soooo many problems it will be lucky he isn’t prosecuted.

Well, when there were only 40 comments, only 10% were in favor of Harry. Not that the lefties have gotten out of bad, and there are over 200 comments, the tide has turned in Harry’s favor!

He was also the most unpopular prior to the 2012 re-election. Sounds like he had some help from his RINO buds against that evil “tea party” candidate.
To: kingattax
tough tactition? Ha. Anything but. A total Ahole, masquerading as a gentle old grandpa, is more like it.

He didn’t need much help. That the GOP was stupid enough to put up a candidate even MORE unpopular than Dingy, a two-time loser and nutter, should’ve realized how it would turn out. A ficus plant could’ve beaten Dingy in 2010. Sharron Angle ? Not so much.

Next up, Sen. Chuck E. Cheese as the new voice of the extremist left wing in the Senate.
