Reid: GOP Rooting for Economy to Fail
The Hill ^ | 7/14/2010 | Eric Zimmerman

Posted on 07/14/2010 4:00:11 PM PDT by Qbert

Republicans hope unemployment rates jump higher to give them a better shot at retaking Congress, Majority Leader Harry Reid said Wednesday.

At a press conference announcing a package of proposals to help small business, the Nevada Democrat said Republicans were obstructing legislation to help the economy for political reasons.

“They think the worse the economy is come November, the better they’re going to do election-wise,” Reid said.

Reid cited an extension of unemployment benefits as an example of legislation that would help the economy but was being blocked by Republicans.

...Sorry Dingy Harry, but YOU'RE the one at fault here. YOU'RE the one who is holding the unemployed hostage by your refusal to compromise on unemployment payments to try to score political points. YOU'RE the one who wants to pile on even more debt, even though the socialist-Europeans are even warning you against it. YOU'RE the one that wants to destroy the economy with even higher taxes by trying to shove cap-and-trade down our throats. YOU'RE the one in control of Congress.

Stop blaming others for your colossal failures.

No, actually, they’re hoping that it doesn’t fail utterly and completely before they’ve had a chance to try and salvage it.

Blame Blame Blame. I have no respect for these pansies. Everything they have wanted done, they have received. They hold both Congress and House for goodness sakes.

Alas, Harry’s logic has appeal to people with the IQ of a donut. Sadly, there are a lot of donuts voting out there these days...some of whom are actually dead. (Read up on Lake County, Indiana.) Too bad we can’t require a current events test for voting.

Dear Harry,

You, Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Zer0 have caused the economy to be lost.

Rooting is one thing. Actually routing the economy down is another.

The sad part is that at least 1/3 of American voters will believe this lying piece of crap, without a shred of doubt in their vacuous little minds.

A thought while waiting for the team from CSI to draw the chalk line around Harry...

Harry, I don’t have to hope the economy fails...with you idiots in charge it is FAILING, no hope and wishes necessary on my part. Dumbass...

Come on Harry, that’s one of the most transparent and overused disinformation tactics there is. That was already threadbare here at Free Republic back in 2008.
