The Hill ^ | November 13, 2014 | Cheryl K. Chumley

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) says he will work with Republicans when he's in the minority, vowing it will not be “get-even time.”

Reid said Democrats, who lost the Senate in the midterm elections, will not operate the way Republicans did as the minority party, accusing them of obstruction.

"We want to legislate. We’re not for stalling," he told reporters Thursday.

Harry’s desk is a graveyard for there is where Congressional Bills go to die and get buried. Just one more qualification he’s good at to be a top notch Funeral Director. He missed his calling I tells yas.

HARRY'S NEW DEFINITION OF OBSTRUCTION--Yoo, hoo Harry---we didn't forget YOU bottled up some 350 bills passed by the Republican House....refusing to let Senate Democrats vote on them.

Course, I'm just a really, really good person so I think we should aid Harry Reid in the difficult transition from Leader to Loser. Let's give Harry a brand new office ....in the Capitol's sub-basement, next to the furnace. Harry'll just love his brand-new cardboard desk (some assembly required).

Although I hear phone service isn't hooked up down there yet. Too bad. Harry can always use smoke signals (from the handy furnace) to communicate. And give 'ol Harry a comfortable desk chair---complete w/ comfy head and foot rests.......and tell Harry not to worry about all those silly electrical switches lying around.

Harry's new chair....with our compliments.

In case the Republicans don’t realize it, the Democrats are at war with America.

Kind of like Islam. Anyone who does not accept Islam, according to their own precepts, is de-facto at war against Islam, so all military actions taken against this "enemy" are considered "defensive." And who could criticized a defensive action? Is the Democrat party any different?

Who writes that man's comedy? Now he wants to legislate since he can't keep over 300 pieces of legislation passed by the House from coming up for consideration. Apparently he firmly believes in Gruber. The voters, at least in his mind, are really stupid. That is why they relegated him to insignificance.

Great.
So whatever is sent over to the Senate, you'll sit down and shut up, right?

To Harry POS Reid and your National Socialist totalitariancare (force, fraud) voting block buddies:

It’s approaching 18 trillion long past “get-even time”.

YOU DID build that, SCUMBAG.

“We want to legislate. We’re not for stalling,” Reid told reporters Thursday. Thus said the man that sat on 360 bills that were passed by the house - refusing to let them see the light of day in the senate. Two thirds of those bills were passed by a veto proof majority which meant they were fully bi-partisan bills. This man lies with the ease of a snake,

Reid should show good faith. Give us the override of Obamas veto of Keystone.
