Harry Reid, former Senate majority leader and Democratic kingmaker, dies at 82
Harry Reid, who rose from abject poverty in rural Nevada to become one of the most influential state and national leaders, died on Tuesday, sources confirmed to The Nevada Independent. He was 82.
Additional details were not immediately available.
Reid was thought to be ending the near of his life when he underwent surgery in 2018 for pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates. Last summer, however, Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free.
Over more than three decades of service in Congress, Reid earned a reputation for fighting relentlessly to protect his home state and everyday Americans. As Senate Democratic leader for a dozen years, he played an instrumental role in passing the Affordable Care Act and shepherding through Congress pivotal economic recovery legislation in the wake of the Great Recession.
Pancreatic Cancer - pretty horrible way to go. But then .... I think you know what I am thinking.
My brother-in-law survived pancreatic cancer for three years after his Whipple procedure, and he chose to forego chemotherapy. He was active unless his last six months.
I thought Mormons were required to be Republicans, even if, like Mitt Romney, they don’t share Republican values.
Compared with his predecessor, Tom Daschle, Harry Reid displayed as much obstructionism, twice the hatred, and half the intelligence.
When I was young, I wanted to believe there were some good qualities in everybody. Alas, Mr. Reid proved me wrong.
Four out of four Udalls disagree ... though they did have cousins in politics who are Republicans.
And He’s Not Only Merely Dead,
He’s Really Most Sincerely Dead
I personally would preferred it was nazipelouzy and/or upchuckytheschlupter since harry was out of office.
May the devil receive that corrupt POS in his realm. Reid was a special kind of evil.
“Gosh, Kolob sure is awful hot…”
“”Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free.””
Oh look ..... he died lying to himself.
“”Reid announced that he underwent an experimental surgery and was declared in “complete remission” and cancer-free.””
Oh look ..... he died lying to himself.
On Fox News when the news broke, whoever that was (male) said that Reid spent his life protecting the poor and middle class from those who tried to hurt them.
I swear he said that or something very close to it.
With his fear of flying? I hope there is a paved road to get there :D
One of the dirtiest politicians in American history. Prayers for his disordered soul.
Wait just a dagone second......you say he's dead & On his way to Hell as we speak.
Not unless someone drove a steak thru his black heart?
Here Lies Harry
Just as he did for 60 years
Absolutely!
That’s 2 down. Now celebrity number three...?
I got an alert 1 hour after finding out John Madden had passed away that this goon had passed as well.
