Harry Reid blasts Tea Party 'craziness' in GOP ("Things have gotten way out of whack")
Orlando Sentinel ^ | 1/05/14 | Hal Boedeker

**SNIP**

"We cannot have a country that's paralyzed because of a group of people -- the group of people who are the Tea Party-driven Republicans in Congress, not Republicans," Reid said. "I'm not here to badmouth Republicans around the country. I get a lot of support from Republicans in Nevada, and always have had. But they're mainstream Republicans. They're not driven by this craziness that we have in America today."

Schieffer sounded astonished by what Reid was saying, and it was probably the first big headline of 2014 from a Sunday morning show. Schieffer pressed to know more about Reid's thinking on filibusters. The Nevada Democrat explained why he was holding out the ban as a possibility.

"I think everyone should understand that the country cannot continue on the road that it's on," Reid said. "You cannot have when you have vacancies in the judiciary as we've had, D.C. circuits, some say it's more important in the Supreme Court, but it's at least the second most important. They said, 'We're not going to fill these spots because we don't want to.' You can't. See, that's not the way we legislate."

“I’m not here to badmouth Republicans around the country.”

Um, yes you are.

“I get a lot of support from Republicans in Nevada, and always have had.”

Translation: I’ll do favors for anyone who has enough cash to contribute to my campaign coffers.

Go away, you creepy cryptkeeper.

Yeah, shame on Americans who want limited, Constitutional government, and politicians who uphold the law instead of ignore it.

Good old get-rich-in-office Harry bellering when normal-thinking people don’t adopt his perverted line of socialistic illogic.

I don’t care what Reid says. What upsets me is the RINO GOPers that are saying the same thing.

I can remember when supporting the constitution and defending freedom against these corrupt communist bastards was a good thing. Patriotic, not crazy. Things have definitely gone downhill in America ever since the communists killed JFK and took over our government. Obama, Reid, Pelosi, et al, godless commies to the core.
