GOP to Reid: You're next
politico.com ^ | 5 Aug 12 | By CHARLES MAHTESIAN

Posted on 08/05/2012 11:00:22 AM PDT by elhombrelibre

The Sunday news shows featured a rare spectacle that at once revealed the decline of civility in Washington and the depth of GOP outrage over Harry Reid’s unproven claim that Mitt Romney didn’t pay income taxes for an entire decade: two of the nation’s top GOP officials flat out called the Senate majority leader a liar.

That’s no ordinary criticism in official Washington.

There are plenty of other ways that pols use to call out their partisan rivals on their statements. Reid’s GOP counterpart, Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, for one, has already said Reid’s charge is “beneath the dignity” of his office.

The people of Nevada did not send him back, the Unions of Las Vegas and Reno did!
The Unions actually got polling places set up inside the casinos so their members could vote without having to leave work, where the unions could supervise their vote.

He lost in 15 of 17 counties.

This is what happens when the voters of one overwhelmingly large uber-liberal city can override the will of the majority of the state.

Not unique to Nevada either!

The question is.....will any of these republican balless cowards step up to the plate in 2013 form commissions to look into each and every one of these criminals and bring them to justice, not a slap on the hand but real jail time, real jail time!!! and if there may not be any jail time drag them thru the sytem until they are flat broke and destitute.

It is beyond the realm of possibilities that someone could go 10 years with the money Mitt Romney has without paying taxes. That in itself shows Harry Reid to be a liar. His insistance that somebody told him that is grade school stuff. Hold his feet to the fire!

A certain Republican house leader should be voted out as well.

Reid is a hypocrite and a disgrace.

Which makes him the perfect liberal democRAT.

Now all we need is someone with enough balls to do it.

With all the GOP wimps in D.C., that more often than not these days, is a woman!

Yet another weekend wasted on media distractions while the unemployment numbers rise, the workforce numbers drop, investment money looks for greener pastures.. the media is chasing it’s tail, going after a nonexistent tax issue while Obama blames a guy that hasn’t been in control for almost four years.

The democrats are busy attacking fried chicken sandwiches and birth control policies and the math problem that is in front of us while the country burns.

What gets me is that the GOP is shocked!

Shows you just out of touch with reality they are.

In the South a lady would say, “Bless his little heart” and really mean this stupid idiot is so senile he couldn’t tell a toilet from a fire plug.

Our best hope is Tea Party pats getting elected. They are much harder to corrupt and some can’t be corrupted.

I’ve complained about that, to no avail. I give up sometimes.

I can’t tell you how bloody sick I get hearing “distortion”, “falsehood”, “misstatement”, and the like. (”below the dignity of the office”)

If someone is a buggering liar, he is a BUGGERING LIAR and should be called out as such, as Rinse Repeatus did. And there IS no dignity in Dingy Harry’s “office”...must call out evil by its name.

McConnell and Reid are BFFs. This is all kabuki theater.

Not voting the Rino’s out at the same time is just plain Hypocrisy. It also means that conservatives no longer stand for anything that people can cheer about voting for. So Conservatives lose with that strategy. They always have.

Then there is the issue that time is up. The USA is teetering on the edge of the abyss right at this very moment. Vote all the people in that you want. Nothing good will come of it as long as your leader is working for the other side.
