Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., said Tuesday he was “blindsided” by news that House Republicans were moving forward on their own debt limit bill and “disappointed” in Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, for doing so.
Reid said on the floor that the new House GOP plan — which includes a number of Obamacare-related provisions and omits instructions for a budget conference — is “unproductive” and “a waste of time,” suggesting its only purpose was to cater to tea party conservatives and preserve Boehner’s speakership.
“I know I speak for many of us who have been working in good faith when I say that we felt blindsided by the news from the House, but this isn’t the first time. Extremist Republicans in the House of Representatives are attempting to torpedo the Senate’s bipartisan progress with a will that can’t pass the Senate … and won’t pass the Senate,” Reid said. “I am very disappointed with John Boehner, who would once again try to preserve his role at the expense of the country. I have worked hard to rise above partisanship, to find common ground in the Senate.”

Good Faith?? LOL, Reid...KMFA
Hoe can harry Reid say he was blindsided by news that House Republicans were moving forward on their own debt limit bill and “disappointed” in Speaker John A. Boehner, R-Ohio, for doing so.
What did he think they were doing over there???? Having a circle jerk?
FUHR
When are you going to rise above Marxist partisanship Harry?
Pray America is Waking Up
“I have worked hard to rise above partisanship, to find common ground in the Senate.”
What a crock of bull$h!t.
Why would Boner want to cater to the Tea Party? He’s GOPe.
Reid said. “I am very disappointed with John Boehner, who would once again try to preserve his role at the expense of the country. I have worked hard to rise above partisanship, to find common ground in the Senate.”

This is satire—————right?
A joke?????????????
Is it possible the House Republicans are starting to enjoy actually doing their job?
Harry Reid blindsided by the idea that there’s another legislative body that gets to decide stuff! He apparently thought he took that power with him when he moved from the House to the Senate in 1987!
Dammit. Mitch, Johnny and Linda never fight me. Who do these republicans in the House think they are?!
Reid is an old evil bastard and it would be funny if he stroked out; just saying.
Whorehouse Reid ought READ THE CONSTITUTION.
I know this goes against all of the enemedia’s propaganda but the more harry reid and the dims project their action onto republicans... the more America sees the truth. Liberals are slowly turning against obamacare and calling the president out on his excuses. This will grow steadily worse while this present fight will become more and more clear to some Americans. We are winning this but taking damage from the enemy. They are being damaged more.
.
“The Colonials won’t pay the Stampy-foot Tax?!!??”
And with that, I call upon Cruz and our House guys to take back the joystick and GAME OVER this baby.
Reid just rejected a deal that was dripping with GOP surrender. Hunker down, get back to your states and districts, and leave the rats to drive us off a cliff by themselves.
We all know it’s a bluff anyway. They’ll defund stuff before they default. Unless Obama is willing to destroy his own legacy to take the nation down with it, which is a distinct possibility.
Democrats are “The Old Fart Party”
The Republicans must’ve heard the story about the frog and the scorpion crossing the river.
Harry Reid plays the part of the scorpion:
Near the end of the story.....
*”Halfway across the river, the frog suddenly felt a sharp sting in his back and, out of the corner of his eye, saw the scorpion remove his stinger from the frog's back. A deadening numbness began to creep into his limbs.
“You fool!” croaked the frog, “Now we shall both die! Why on earth did you do that?”
The scorpion shrugged, and did a little jig on the drownings frog's back.
“I could not help myself. It is my nature.”
Then they both sank into the muddy waters of the swiftly flowing river.
Self destruction - “Its my Nature”, said the Scorpion...”*
All of these type bills must originate in the house anyway. He is just pissy that they are actually doing what they were elected to do.
We can hope that is the case, but I don’t trust 99% of the HouseReps. Could it be that Priebus has told them that people just aren’t taking it any more and no longer donating to the RNC??? The Jig is UP. The Peeps are on to us, so we better at least look like we aren’t just the flipside of the same coin. Fall on the sword for America now, or they are all down the chute. I can dream!
Only the GOOD die young!
Reid doesn’t even know what “good faith” is.
No, an outright lie from satan.
“I have worked hard to rise above partisanship, to find common ground in the Senate.”
What a crock of bull$h!t.
What? You don’t believe that Reidtard has risen above partisanship? He is so far beyond partisanship that he makes partisanship look like surrender and he has definitely found common ground among his demonrat compadres. Though I agree that the protuberance upon his neck has greater resemblance to a “crock of bull$h!t” than a head.
Here Bohner has a great idea because if the GOP knew how to fight like Dems do they would all get on TV and call Reid out for trying to protect his own special subsidy, with the above complaint by him.
My question is why didn't the House GOP do this before now?
For the same reason? (they want that subsidy themselves?)
A move like this is not going to help the GOP unless they are capable of explaining it, and fight like Dems, coordinate your message.
“Extremist Republicans in the House of Representatives”
Yeah, people who actually work for a damn living and pay their taxes! Not like the leaches who voted for the hateful old fart Harry Reid who has torpedoed the entire budget year after year after year by ignoring it!
Was not passing a budget for four years another example of Dingy Harry’s “good faith”?
As long as we make the 18 billion in monthly interest payments on the debt then exceeding the so-called “deadline” will not affect our credit rating — and that’s according to Moody”s.
Dingy sounded more unhinged than usual today.
Threat of House bailing after vote? or that he’ll have to enroll in Obummercare? both?

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Monday that there is an “anarchy movement underfoot.”
“But we’re not going to bow to Tea Party anarchists,” Reid said on the Senate floor.
Reid said “radicals” and “extremists” within the Republican Party are threatening a government shutdown if they insist on defunding ObamaCare in a resolution to fund the government.
Everytime I see him on TV he reminds me of an undertaker.

Reid warns of ‘unreasonable extremists’ in gun debate
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Nevada Democrat, kicked off Monday’s session by saying the victims of December’s Connecticut shooting rampage deserve a vote on gun legislation and warning of “unreasonable extremists” who may try to derail or delay the process.
Mr. Reid said protecting citizens’ Second Amendment rights and working to prevent gun violence are “both worthy goals, and they should not be mutually exclusive goals.”
“This compromise legislation shouldn’t be controversial,” Mr. Reid said, adding that he hopes “there aren’t going to be a few unreasonable extremists” that will try to prevent a vote.
“Newtown deserves a vote,” Mr. Reid said.
Whorehouse harry you are not the boss and KMA
Senator Majority Leader Harry Reid: Tea Party Activists Are “Extremists,” “Fanatics,” And “Anarchists.”
Reminds you of an undertaker, he should visit one.
I hope I'm wrong.

Reid Blames “Tea Party Extremists” for Budget Standoff ...
Harry is holding out for the blank check (CR) that has been passed in the past.
I would hold out forever, passing house bill after house bill with strict budget limits for small sections of the government.
Never bring back the furloughed government workers. They get back pay when the furlough is over. Let it never be over.
Isn’t it LONG past time we started calling them marxist, socialist or progressive extremists???
Contrary to Harry Reid’s opinion, Tea Party members like government just fine

Recently Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid accused the Tea Party of being “anarchists,” “extremists,” and “fanatics.” He has said they are bullies who hate government.
But is this the truth? At Tea Party meetings you are likely to hear people discussing not only the Constitution, but the Federalist Papers, or Locke’s Second Treatise on Government. These are odd subjects for anarchists who hate government.
The Tea Party is not centrally organized, so there is some diversity in the wording of its core beliefs, but the five principles of the Dallas Tea Party are representative:
fiscal responsibility
limited government
personal responsibility
the rule of law
national sovereignty
I ask Senator Reid: Which of these five principles is extreme? How do you reconcile the accusations of anarchy and hate for government with the rule of law?
The motto of the Dallas Tea Party is “Stand Up for Liberty!” What’s so bad about that? It is certainly more appealing than the shrill rhetoric of the left.

Harry Reid Stands Firm: ‘Boehner has a credibility problem.’
10/07/2013
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) is not mincing words. He’s become a target of the extremist right-wing in Congress for rejecting every House bill that seeks to tack on defunding Obamacare and he’s standing firm against Speaker Boehner’s war of words.
In a statement released today, Reid takes on Boehner directly for the Speaker’s refusal to face reality (emphasis added):
“Speaker Boehner has a credibility problem. From refusing to let the House vote on a bill that was his idea in the first place, to decrying health-care subsidies for members of Congress and staff that he worked for months to preserve, to stating that the House doesn’t have the votes to pass a clean CR at current spending levels, there is now a consistent pattern of Speaker Boehner saying things that fly in the face of the facts or stand at odds with his past actions. Americans across the country are suffering because Speaker Boehner refuses to come to grips with reality. Today, Speaker Boehner should stop the games and let the House vote on the Senate’s clean CR so that the entire federal government can re-open within twenty-four hours.”

Hey Dingy....... guess what?
They won!!!
“Remember when the media and Reid called Senator Obama an extremist for voting down 2 debt ceiling increases?” /s
“Isn’t it LONG past time we started calling them marxist, socialist or progressive extremists???”
YES!!!
Yes. It's the GOPe's dirty little secret, and you nailed it. They don't want small government, they want big government, with themselves in charge of it. And every perk they can grab for themselves on the way.
Someone stuff panties in Dingy’s mouth. He’s unhinged.
!
Harry Reid won, he shut down this house alternative bill that would cut his subsidies
