LOL LOL..OMG Harry, thanks for the laughs. The only reason why this clown is even Senator is because his cronies handed out Best Buy gift cards to people to vote for him

I blame the Nevada jerk-off’s senatorial leadership (or lack of it). Where is the budget, Harry? 3 years, no budget.

Hey, Harry, he did say “I am the President” so he has acknowledged his responsibility.

Harry, after November you can go apply for a job at Barney’s Casino. I hear they need card shufflers. I hear you have had a lot of experience SHUFFLING THE RACE CARD. As a matter of fact. You can increase employment by bringing a lot of your commie democrat friends with you to shuffle cards, they will be in need of employment after November also.

... and he will get away with it because our side can’t effectively t expose the lies. The root problem is our side has allowed the other side to blatantly lie for so long that it has become institutionalized. Romney and Ryan both had bland responses today. Unless they begin to fight they are poised to lose this election

Harry, want to explain the 30+ job bills that the House has passed and you won’t even allow the Senate to consider?

Only reason Harry hasn’t sponsored a bill to tax knee jerks is because he is the worst offender.
