Reid calls (Palin) tea party argument 'a bunch of garbage'
POLITICO ^ | July 14, 2011 | Scott Wong

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) described the argument by Sarah Palin and other conservatives that Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell’s backup debt plan is unconstitutional as "a bunch of garbage."

“I’ve been to a few court houses,” Reid said at a news conference on Thursday. Those in the tea party “seem to think they have an all knowing wisdom about the Constitution. In short, that’s a bunch of garbage. I don’t know how to say it more clearer than that.”

Even her enemies in government, the media, academia, the nutroots, Hollywood, Cable TV and etc. put her on the same level as the de facto president of the United States and have since she was introduced to the nation in September 2008. Have you noticed that? If Mitt Romney is truly the front-runner, why is virtually no one talking about him and his postions on the critical issues of our day? It's all very telling, IMO.

Yeah... Where is (leftist film maker) Nick Broomfield's anti-Romney hate movie?

(he's releasing one about Sarah though....)

Just reporting the facts on his governorship would be enough to sink him, from RomneyCare to the Big Dig, to RomneyMarriage to his gun-grabbing...

Shhhhh.....! Must'nt do that. It might hurt Romney's chances of achieving the next historic Republican loss!

I don't know the source. First time I've seen that handle here.

You can thank Newt Grinchrich for Bob’s defeat; he arranged the funding for Loretta Sanchez’s campaign, to get Dornan of his jello spine.

.
And that’s why none of the other “candidates” have spoken up on this issue.

If you like our constitution, Palin is the only candidate.

Anyone with me?” <<

Do you recal how many “Feepers” were PO’d when Rand Paul beat McConnell’s hand picked RINO for the other Ky senate seat?
