Reid Rains on Vitter's Lousiana Saints Party (forcing Pub's to stay for O's speech tonight)
Washington Examiner ^ | 9/8/11 | Susan Ferrechio

Posted on 09/08/2011 1:24:23 PM PDT by mmanager

Several Senate and House Republicans are planning to skip President Obama's address tonight to a joint session of Congress, in part because they believe he will be showing them nothing new when he unveils his big job creation proposal. But Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., has found a way to keep those pesky Republicans in the building, or at least in his chamber. Reid on Thursday scheduled a vote for after Obama's speech, and it's not one many in the GOP will want to miss. As soon as Obama is done talking, the Senate will proceed to a measure to disapprove a $500 billion increase in the debt limit. Reid's move means that Sen. David Vitter, R-La., has to skip the party he was planning back home to celebrate the opening night of the NFL season, which will feature the Louisiana Saints. "Typical Harry Reid," Vitter wrote in a letter to those invited to his party as well as the media. "Pens in those who would have skipped speech, like me. So now I'll miss my own Saints game party at home."

Serves no purpose other than to underscore further what a petty, unstatesmanlike thing Reid is.

Liar and thief in chief has nothing new this is all gamesmanship to try and paint responsible politicians as the enemy of the people. This is a speech worthy of Castro or Chavez but not an American President.

Obama is going to say we need to spend 500 Billion and we will get it by raising taxes.

Repbublicans must educate the masses that taxes on the rich are in fact taxes on all of us because the Rich can afford to move their money out of the U.S. economy which hurts everyone equally. Taxes on businesses will result in less jobs, and less revenue and the businesses will pass on any increased taxes to the consumers so again we pay these taxes not the rich.

Republicans should win the Senate in 2012 then treat Harry Reid like the rabid dog he is. Vitter should have kept his yap shut

Doesn’t mean they all must be in the chamber...lots of places to go and wait out the campaign speech.

Pubbies should roll in a portable flat-screen with SURROUND SOUND and play the game in the chambers during said speech!

Nevada voters should have thrown him out long ago, especially after him giving tacit approval to Obummer’s attacks on Vegas.

Oh, that's okay. Dingy Hairy Reed will get a nice payback from Republican Senators someday. Believe me, they will not forget his childish behaviour.

He is only injuring his own simpleton self. :)

Would it really matter? Wouldn’t pass in the house...probably not even in the senate. Call that little munchkin’s bluff. A 500 billion increase immediately after zero asks for porkulous 2? Talk about a turd in the punch bowl.

I thought they used the House chamber for these speeches. Just wait in the Senate chamber, have a brew, and watch the game.

and since Reid will be slavering on the other side watching Obama, slip a gel cap full of skunk spray in his seat for a little payback :-)
