Give Harry Hell

A Beat Reid Editorial
By Rick Charles

January 14, 2010
Harry is in a helluva jam these days.  He has proudly taken credit for forcing the healthcare fiasco down the throats of the American people, a program that a clear majority of folks of all political stripes find offensive and distasteful.  And thanks to Harry’s decision to link [...]

Tuesday, January 12, 2010
In a reversal of roles, bloodthirsty members of the GOP are tightening up the last few coils on the rope with which they wish to hang Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.  A predictable wildfire of political posturing and brouhaha has resulted from recently exposed comments made by Senator Reid about [...]

Thursday, December 10, 2009
“Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all Senate Republicans can come up with is: ‘Slow down, stop everything and start over.’  If you think you’ve heard these same excuses before, you’re right.

Wednesday, July 1, 2009
Reaction to the Supreme Court ruling overturning Sonia Sotomayor and two other judges’ ruling on the discrimination case involving 20 Connecticut fire-fighters has fallen right along party lines. Democrats (and liberals) who normally trumpet the cause of equal rights and civil liberties seem to have reverted to another agenda, that [...]

Wednesday, June 18, 2009
Nevada Senator John Ensign (R) announced Tuesday that he had an affair with a campaign staffer back in 2007-08. Marital indiscretions make the news in Washington fairly often, so there’s nothing shocking or unusual about the announcement (unless you happen to be Mrs. John Ensign).   There is some speculation that [...]

Arlen Specter: “I forgot what team I was on.”

Harry Reid to Blitzer:  Last night I came to him and I said “Arlen what’s all this about?” And he said “I forgot what team I was on.”
Harry Reid’s response to Wolf Blitzer was a bit tentative to say the least.  The controversy over Arlen Specter’s defection of the Democratic Party continues.  The issue was [...]

Cap And Tax Crapped Out

Today the push by Nevada Senator Harry Reid to include the Cap-And-Trade carbon emissions tax as a budget reconciliation was rejected 67 to 33 in the Senate. Obama’s dream to slip in the controversial tax on carbon emissions will now require at least 60 votes. This is a minor victory for the country’s [...]
