Harry Reid 2006: I hate when people try to sneak secret special deals into important Senate bills without debate
posted at 9:43 pm on January 4, 2010 by Allahpundit
Yeah, we’re all pretty broken up about it. He’s also a big fan of conference committees here, as you’ll see, which is really just the cherry on a dreck sundae.
GOP underperforming in November = downer. GOP underperforming in November and this tool squeaking out a victory = disaster.

Why are the Republicans still down with a weasel like Ried in DC?
Two words:
Mitch Mcconnell

The road to socialism is paved with secrete special deals.

Lindsay Graham.
Olympia Snowe.
Susan Collins.
John McCain.
Chuck Grassley.
Richard Lugar.
Lamar Alexander.
Judd Gregg (who, but the way, is pushing a bill for a “bipartisan commission” that will deal with the growing deficits. It will recommend ways to cut the deficit. Basically, to give the Dems cover to raise taxes, including a VAT. The comission’s recommendations would have to be adopted as a whole or rejected as a whole.)

It’s as if Reid knows that the Main Stream Media won’t pick this up and run with it for the next year like someone saying Macaca? Makaka? Macaque? or Mohawk……..?
Oh, wait!
Seven Percent Solution on January 4, 2010 at 9:54 PM
I hope we won’t have Dingy Harry to kick around after this year…
d1carter on January 4, 2010 at 9:54 PM
Need to make this into a TV commercial, stat.
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on January 4, 2010 at 9:54 PM
If they can use the Ping-Pong option, can the Republicans employ the Gnip-Gnop strategy?
Trusser13 on January 4, 2010 at 9:55 PM
Anyone know what the legislation was that was soooo important?
conservnut on January 4, 2010 at 9:55 PM
PEOPLE OF NEVADA: you have 10 months to prepare, register, and do your civic duty and VOTE HARRY REID OUT OF OFFICE! A loss in the primary would be nice…
BREAK: Cindy Munford: I enjoy your input to these threads…
Khun Joe on January 4, 2010 at 9:56 PM
Hello, Trolls???
Any takers out there?
I really, really want to hear their spin on this one.

Somewhere another dog is vomiting.
JellyToast on January 4, 2010 at 10:01 PM
Harry Reid is now in charge of the Politburo (from German Politbüro)
Schadenfreude on January 4, 2010 at 10:02 PM
Pelosi?
conservnut on January 4, 2010 at 10:05 PM
Baby Republican voters under performing=Obama.
tomas on January 4, 2010 at 10:05 PM
And he’s licking it back up! “Here Harry, com’here boy!”
rebuzz on January 4, 2010 at 10:06 PM
I meant to link, Pelosi?
conservnut on January 4, 2010 at 10:08 PM
Running out of adjectives to apply to this man. The GOP needs to jump on this one pronto.
Erich66 on January 4, 2010 at 10:09 PM
Geezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, these hypocrites are something else! What is it really about? Are they all shoveling tax dollars into offshore bank accounts?
joedoe on January 4, 2010 at 10:13 PM
I just know this man has really stinky breath.
Which is about the nicest thing I can say about him.
LASue on January 4, 2010 at 10:14 PM
Cindy is one my faves, too. :)
I will have to think of more things to do to my voodoo doll of Reid.
SouthernGent on January 4, 2010 at 10:14 PM
HA! Love it! Thanks for the laugh.
HawaiiLwyr on January 4, 2010 at 10:15 PM

jerrytbg on January 4, 2010 at 10:15 PM
It must be, cause every time he opens his mouth, excrement comes out.
conservnut on January 4, 2010 at 10:16 PM
Yep, Cindy is a Hot Air rock star!
conservnut on January 4, 2010 at 10:18 PM
“Only I, Harry Reid, or my other two Cartel members Nancy and Barack get to make decisions in the the biggest criminal organization the world has ever seen. The rest of you amateurs stand back and learn something.”
Funny how everyone loves to hate the corporations while they help make the biggest corporation bigger everyday.
bluemarlin on January 4, 2010 at 10:21 PM
Aw, that wasn’t very nice!
Why would you insult that poor dog that way?
NoLeftTurn on January 4, 2010 at 10:22 PM
YOU SUCK!
Itchee Dryback on January 4, 2010 at 10:23 PM
Hypocrit–thy name is Reid!!!
lovingmyUSA on January 4, 2010 at 10:24 PM
Reminding these Toilet Bugs of what they said in the past means nothing. If the Skid Mark in Chief has taught us anything, it’s that what I say today is equal to exactly one squirt of piss tomorrow.
BigWyo on January 4, 2010 at 10:24 PM
Sorry, don’t call PETA on me :(
conservnut on January 4, 2010 at 10:24 PM
You are attributing too much worth to what he says, me thinks.
bluemarlin on January 4, 2010 at 10:26 PM
The last gasp of a defeated hypocrite!!
BEGRUNT on January 4, 2010 at 10:26 PM
I will probably be moving from Nevada this year, but I won’t have a new legal residence until after November.
I promise.
Saltysam on January 4, 2010 at 10:33 PM
I hate to say it….But, I’m going to anyway. The good people of Nevada have ONE more opportunity to prove to us all that they hate corrupt politicians. And this man is the walking, talking, breathing definition of corrupt, hypocritical, professional politician who needs to kicked to the curb in disgrace.
GoldenEagle4444 on January 4, 2010 at 10:38 PM
Oh thank God, Allah is back! :)

Another Good Reason For Term Limits!
The following is my proposal for congressional “Term Limits”:
Congressional Reform Act of 2010
1. Term Limits: options below.
Two Six year Senate terms
Three Two year House terms
One Six year Senate term and Three Two Year House terms
Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, serve your term(s), then go home and back to work.
2. No Tenure / No Pension:
A congressman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they are out of office.
3. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security:
All funds in the Congressional retirement fund moves to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, Congress participates with the American people.
4. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan just as all Americans.
5. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.
6. Congress looses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people.
7. Congress must equally abide in all laws they impose on the American people.
8. All contracts with past and present congressmen are void effective 1/1/11.
The American people did not make this contract with congressmen, congressmen made all these contracts for themselves.
xler8bmw on January 4, 2010 at 10:42 PM
Sounds awesome. It`ll never happen, but I like it.
ThePrez on January 4, 2010 at 10:50 PM
To add a bit to your post,they should have to sign a piece of paper to acknowledge all of this. If they are caught breaking the law, everything is on the table, including all salary they have received while in Washington. If they cannot pay, all of their assets are up for grabs and they acknowledge they could leave their wife and kids on the street while serving jail time, which many more politicians need to be doing right now. If there are no serious consequences we will not change anything.
bluemarlin on January 4, 2010 at 10:54 PM
You all have probably seen the latest email going around:
onlineanalyst on January 4, 2010 at 11:23 PM
And I hate old left-wing douchebags who think they’re smarter than everyone else. Bye bye Harry! :)
NathanG on January 4, 2010 at 11:30 PM
Dammit Allah, please, for the love of all that is Holy, put up a disclaimer before hitting us with this type of headline. Especially when it involves Dingy or Ms. Botox. Nearly chocked on my throat losenge. Jeez. ;)
TQM38a on January 4, 2010 at 11:36 PM
will never spend another dollar in Nevada.

FIFY
Sharke on January 5, 2010 at 1:16 AM
It seems to me that these words should be proof positive of the treasonist aspects of this Congress. When out of power, this is how they talk. When in power, “shut the f*ck up”.
What I truly have so much problem with is figuring out why these folks hate our Constitution so much. They seemingly do not understand that it is the source of our strength.
I guess I keep hoping that even one or two of our Congressmen will wake up and realize that they have gone far beyond their mandates to represent us. Surely 60% of our representation has not lost sight of our founding principles?
GnuBreed on January 5, 2010 at 1:30 AM
What an unashamed hypocrite. It was nice to see the title “minority leader ” under his name. Let’s do him one better Nevada. “Harry Reid ex-senator from Nevada”.
bluestateconservative on January 5, 2010 at 1:47 AM
Give the guy a break. It’s hard balancing Socialist ideology while at the same time bilking the American people and feathering your own nest. Oh, just think of the internal moral conflicts going on!
Reid’s such an a$$^%#$@@!
Dr. ZhivBlago on January 5, 2010 at 2:03 AM
I think Harry needs a loong nap.
Buckeye Babe on January 5, 2010 at 2:21 AM
One more, in an almost infinite list of examples of how Liberalism = Hypocrisy.
As for Republicans, they’re hopeless and hapless. It will be up to us individual conservative Americans to take the country back.
J.J. Sefton on January 5, 2010 at 5:00 AM
Notice the L on Mumble’s forehead?
yoda on January 5, 2010 at 6:29 AM
spot on, sad to say…
cmsinaz on January 5, 2010 at 6:46 AM
Why the hell doesn’t a Republican quote Harry on the floor of the Senate?
Why doesn’t someone quote McCaskill- about Bush AND about spitting into Romney’s earpiece?
What is wrong with these people?
drjohn on January 5, 2010 at 7:24 AM
Why am I only seeing stuff like this on Hot Air, and not on a national media buy from the RNC? Don’t they realize that, if they want to take Congress back, they need to be proactive?
olesparkie on January 5, 2010 at 7:57 AM

We in Nevada can’t wait till November I assure you.
Mojave Mark on January 5, 2010 at 9:01 AM
Other than me, that is.
Kissmygrits on January 5, 2010 at 9:02 AM
See, that’s the problem – if you just think it’s a ‘downer’, you don’t have a good handle on what’s at stake here.
Midas on January 5, 2010 at 10:04 AM
I *heart* Cindy Mumford. She is one wise woman and a good mother.
Winebabe on January 5, 2010 at 10:20 AM
But lets not forget Harry Reid’s point, the GOP did it too.
We need to get rid of anyone who MIGHT thing this is a good idea, Liberal or RINO.
barnone on January 5, 2010 at 10:48 AM
Wow.
So even Harry Reid doesn’t like Harry Reid.
That must be a living hell.
manofaiki on January 5, 2010 at 5:16 PM
But y’all just don’t understand, Dingy Harry isn’t people. He’s not one of us. He’s a senator. Their above us lowly humans. Their work is soooo much more important.
/sarc for the trolls.
