Ensign Tells Fellow Republicans to Back Off Reid

Wonder if Ensign’s girlfriend told him to “be nice to Harry”....

Sheeesh another Liberal RINO...

[henkster]

I agree with you that a wounded vulnerable Reid may lose effectiveness in the Senate and might lose election. So yeah, turn the pot down from a boil to a simmer.

But I also agree with other posters here that Ensign = poop.

[Maelstorm]

I agree with Ensign this time. Better let this play out in Nov than now. The last thing we need is him to retire before he can be soundly defeated.

[Carling]

I’m positive that my reasons for letting Reid twist in the wind are much, much different than Sen. Ensigns’.

[RobinOfKingston]

I forget ... what was it Trent Lott said a couple years ago? Did anyone suggest he be “backed off” of? No? Well, I’ll be switched!

[goodnesswins]

YEP...I agree...but, it’s hard because of the constant hypocrisy of the left!

[MrB]

Do you really think Reid will face the voters if he’s running a 10 to 15 point deficit this summer?

No, he’ll announce his retirement after the healthcare vote.

[Freds2nd]

Ensign is right but isn’t saying why. Too much heat will drive down Reid’s poll numbers, and he may not run in the upcoming election. Any Republican beat Reid, who knows how well they will do against some other Democrat. We have been here before: Toricelli and Dodd.

[rebapiper]

Ensign is as corrupt as the rest of them. Did anyone really think Ensign would do or say anything other than his standing by Reid. REID HAS ENSIGN AND MANY OTHERS BY THE SHORT HAIRS AND REID KNOWS THERE IS NOT A THING ANYONE CAN SAY OR DO TO HIM. Why didn’t Ensign get Reid on election fraud years ago. Reid should never of been in office but like many others, they have things hiding in their closets that they don’t want to be found out. Blackmail, that’s what it’s all about. If they can’t get you they can always find someone your connected to or perhaps a family member that has pulled off a few illegal deeds. So what do you do? you let your friends or family fall on the sword or you stand hand in hand with he blackmailer and give him what he wants. So what ever happened to country first? What ever happened to the oath of office? What ever happened to upholding the Constitution? Why did they go after Ensign and going after him for cheating on his wife. You sell our your soul,your country, your fellow Americans, your seat that should have been used like a medal of honor.
DOES ANYBODY IN THEIR RIGHT MIND HONESTLY BELEIVE THAT ENSIGN WOULD SELL OUT HIS COUNTRY FOR GIVE INTO BLACKMAIL OVER A LOVE AFFAIR. I DON’T THINK SO...........ENSIGN NEEDS TO SHUT HIS MOUITH, SICKING UP FOR REID ONLY MAKES HIM A TRADER TO THIS COUNTRY. WHAT THE RAT PARTY IS DOING TO THIS COUNTRY IS TREASON AND ANYONE THAT WILL NOT EXPOSE THE CORRUPTION AND WILL HELP TO KEEP THE CORRUPTION GOING SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED. COVERING UP A CRIME MAKES YOU AS GUILTY AS THE PERSON THAT COMMITTED THE CRIME AND THAT GOES FOR BOTH PARTIES.

Nevada needs to rid our country of this Progressive RINO scumbag socialist Sen. John Ensign the very next time he comes up for a vote.

[stockpirate]

Republicans should never had forced Lott to leave, never.

[rintense]

I have had it with spineless republicans who are more than willing to throw their own under the racist bus yet protect a bigger jackass on the other side.

[rebapiper]

That had to be one HELL OF A LOVE AFFIAR to make a man turn on his country. Yes what is going on in this country is TREASON and Ensign is saying Treason is the right thing to do by standing by Reid.
So what family skeleton happens to be in the closet? He and his family lived quit well, they were not poor, they got the best of everything,money was not hard to come by and for some reason it just wasn't enough for the Ensign boys. So what's really behind Ensign the TRADER?

[Wurlitzer]

Good grief! We have elected a negro, black, afro-American, fill in the adjective of choice, to the highest position in our country and the crybabies still get their knickers in a twist over a name.

GROW UP for crying out loud. Are you going to spend the rest of your lives and future generations on the government plantation waiting for your handouts?

Every other minority seems to be able to grasp the concept of this country and advance except one!

They won't be happy until they crush our economy and make us a mixed race Nigeria!

Just let Dingy Harry self destruct on his own as he is doing a great job of it. We should just stand on the sidelines and watch this piece of Washington scum shrivel on the vine.

[rebapiper]

Almost looks like he is going to cry, are they coming after him too? So what skeleton is in his families closet? I don't know much about him but it must be something big for a man to give into TREASON. Turn his back on his oath to office, turn on his country and his fellow Americans.
Now you know just how easy it was for the RAT PARTY to HYJACK THE SENATE AND THE HOUSE. Remember those FBI fills that Hitlary just helped herself too.
Is there anyone that is not corrupt in our government? The Republican party is scared to death of the RAT PARTY and they is why they would not and could not go after the RATS because they too would have been exposed.

[rebapiper]

Reid is not worried about loosing his seat in the Senate. Election fraud got him there and election fraud will keep him there if he wants and as long as he holds the cards nobody will go after him. Acorn,SEIU and of course lets not forget the homeless people of Nevada, they put him where he is today.
I think all the votes need to be gone over in small towns like Elko,Nev. lets see just how many legal votes he really got.

[massgopguy]

Daily Kos is telling Reid to announce he’s not running for re-election. He’s toast. This is a distraction.

[chris37]

I’m not sure how corrupt he is, I think everyone in Washington is corrupt though.

However, I am quite certain that this man is a sissy.
