As I was about to write this post, I was stumped as to what topic to choose. harry reid is such an impotent character on so many fronts that it was a crapshoot to pick any topic over another.
Let me throw this out to you, readers. Is there ANY topic where harry reid "stands tall"? Other than whining about the performance of the Bush Administration and undermining our military while at war, I can't think of anything at which he is outstanding.
This most recent event, wherein harry reid calls our commanding Generals "incompetent" is so ludicrous coming from a whisp of a character like reid that it would be laughable if it were not so damaging to the fiber of the military. After all, when a manly figure like reid belts out criticism in that trademark baritone of his, it has to be effective. Not.
And earlier this week, President Bush schedules a meet with Senate Republicans about the "Comprehensive Immigration" bill to try to hand harry reid a victory over the people. So what does harry reid do to show his bipartisanship? He schedules a moment of silence for the casualties in Iraq coincident with President Bush's trip in order to try to embarass him. harry reid is simply shamelsss, which is no mean feat when he has so much of which to be ashamed. Here are a couple of links to articles by David Broder detailing dingy harre reid's many shortcomings:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/04/25/AR2007042502407.htmlhttp://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/06/13/AR2007061301967.htmlharry reid and nancy pelosi HAVE been able to deflate the public perception of the Congress to a real wagon-rut-like low of 23% approval at the same time that President Bush digs as hard as HE can by backing the above referenced immigration bill. Although I am not a rocket scientist, I AM an engineer and it is obvious to ME at least that these 3 don't know the least thing about what the public wants nor about the current political tenor.
And here is perhaps the message that should be strained from much of what is going on these days. the Republicans were not thrown out in the last election because of Iraq, nor because they were too partisan. the republicans were thrown out because they were indistinguishable from the Democrats. HELLO!!! Listen to ME here. If the Republicans do not effectively and vocally draw significant distinctions between then and the Democrats, MORE Republicans will be thrown out.
Why do Republicanse continue to forget this? You are elected in droves when you stand up and show you have a pair...as opposed to metro-sexuals like reid, john edwards, etc.
You know what I would like to see? The next time some panty-twist of a reporter tries to embarass a Republican about his faith or abortion...is pick a fight with him! That kind of "have you stopped beating your wife" question is a waste of time and all conservatives know it. Stop them in their tracks. If that is the most important question that reporter has to ask, suggest that he give up his time to some other reporter that has issues to discuss.
Well that is probably too much to ask. Until Fred Dalton Thompson gets in the race.
