Sticks and stones may break bones, but Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid just hopes his words are enough to get Republicans to back off Obamacare.
“We’re not going to bow to Tea Party anarchists who deny the mere fact that Obamacare is the law,” Reid said this morning.
That was just the start of it, though.
Reid used words like "fanatic" and "extremist" to describe Republicans threatening to hold up a budget until Congress votes to defund Obamacare and its exchanges, which open for enrollment in eight days.
“Are Republicans so intent on undermining President Obama and the signature health care law that they’re willing to inflict severe damage to our economy in the process?” Reid asked. “If Democrats don’t bow to every demand they have, we’re going to go right over the cliff...Americans will know exactly who to blame — Republican fanatics in the House and Senate.”
Reid was not directing his words at the entire GOP. He was more interested in pulling Republicans away from the Obamacare cliff by turning its members against each other.
“I see more of my moderate Republican colleagues stepping up to speak sense to an extremist element of their own party,” Reid said. “A few reasonable Republicans are wise enough to know that risking the nation’s economic recovery for the sake of a pyrrhic ideological victory would be another step toward a death knell for the Republican Party.”
“I say to the House and Senate Republicans who continue to deny reality...listen to the chorus all around you. Listen to what they’re saying,” Reid said. “Your conservative Senate colleagues urge you off this reckless course...What remains to be seen is whether my Republican colleagues on both sides of the capitol are wise enough to listen.”

“Tea Party -lolipop-from-baby-takers! Waaaaa....” ~ Skeletor Reid.
I know of more than a couple anarchists who would be totally offended to be compared to the congressional GOP. And I love so many people who throw around the word with reckless abandon but wouldn’t be able to spot an anarchist if one was standing next to them.
No, I’d rather he died on his release date.
Reid is such an evil little man. When his lips move, he’s lying.
Pardon me, harry, but WHEN was the last time the United States senate passed a budget?
As I recall, several of them have been sent over from the house of representatives in recent years.
With all his crooked land deals, federal prison is exactly where dirty Harry belongs.
His mouth is the gate to the dung heap.
Hey Harry, why is Congress exempt from ObamaCare if it is so wonderful?
Let’s hope the slime-ball gets there...I suspect he will have closet friends who would love to show him a good time.
“Are Republicans so intent on undermining President Obama and the signature health care law that they’re willing to inflict severe damage to our economy in the process?” Reid asked.”
Your boy Obama is destroying the economy all by himself, sh**head. He’s been doing so for 5 years now.
HAiry just continuing to thwart the will of the People.
One of the biggest problems is most uninformed Democrats believe the Tea Party is an organization. It is not, it is the vast majority of the people that believe in smaller government and the conservative Constitutional way of real freedom in America.
Old Harry calling me names.
He should hear some of the names I call him.
Anarchist?? Why?? because I don’t like having to pay through the nose for a health system that will be worse than what we have?
Yes: Harry we know it is a law. We also know how it got passed. there was nothing honest or American in the way this law got passed. We also know that laws can be changed. That doesn’t make us anarchists.
Reid fails at diplomacy.
If Mcconnel had balls he and every senate Republican should condemn Reid’s rhetoric on the senate floor. Unfortunately he won’t cause he prolly agrees.
Harry’s confused, as usual. Leftests are the anarchists and always have been. We could easily provide Harry with a top 100 list if he needs a refresher.
Remind me again whether we’re theocrats or anarchists this week. It’s so hard keeping track.
We could be so lucky......
hey Harry, I live in Texas, so if I’m an anarchist does that mean I can drive to my small town’s police dept and crap on a car?
Take some Midol Reid. You POS.
