Harry Reid Justifies Lying About Romney’s Taxes from Senate Floor: ‘He Didn’t Win, Did He?’
Washington Free Beacon ^ | 03/31/2015

Posted on 03/31/2015 7:16:15 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Harry Reid said he has no regrets for polarizing the Senate, attacking the Koch brothers, and falsely accusing Mitt Romney of not paying taxes.

Republicans have criticized Reid, who recently announced that he would not seek re-election in 2016, for hostile tactics that soured the environment on Capitol Hill.

The Senate minority leader dismissed claims that he is the problem with Washington and said he his proud of taking on the Koch brothers when no one else would.

Reid appeared to take some joy of being a part of the Democrat machine that took down Romney in 2012.

“Let him prove that he has paid taxes, because he hasn’t,” Reid said on the Senate floor without any evidence to back his accusations.

When asked about his comments by CNN’s Dana Bash, Reid never rejected the notion his words were “McCarthyite” in nature. He admitted no wrongdoing.

“Well, they can call it whatever they want,” Reid said. “Romney didn’t win, did he?”

Reid’s approach of the ends justifying the means is sure to upset many and is likely to further propel Reid’s reputation of being a dirty politician.

“Proud of taking on the Koch brothers when no one else would....”

There is nothing more “safe” than complaining about the Koch brothers and there is no shortage of people complaining about them, publicly.

Coward.

The IRS thing should have landed him in jail. Still should.

Harry Reid had little to do with the presidential results.
Romney should have been aggressive and attacked Obama on his lies and deception.
Besides he is correct.
47+% in this country ARE PARASITES and want free stuff..
Any repub starts off in the hole.
You could run Jesus and some free stuff libtard would win.
People have given up on America and the American dream.
Corporate interests and foreign interests have bought congress and the Constitution has been trampled. Crony kickbacks and corruption are the norm. The repubs have no intestinal fortitude for what should be done.
The T party is a glimmer of hope.

This is part of the Leftists’ kitman and taqiyya. They believe that the end justifies the means.

Typical libspeak: A lie can be considered true if it helps achieve its intended purpose.

Just another example of the amorality of the left.

But Conservatives are always held accountable for any revealed despicable tactics. Democrats get away with all their criminality. I blame Big Media for the breathtaking double-standard........they should all spend eternity in H***.

Was Harry Reid in Las Vegas beat up by "enforcers" with brass knuckles?

Or was he really accidentally hit by a malfunctioning exercise machine?

If that is it, What kind of machine was it? Who is liable for the injury? Where did it happen? Did Reid go to emergency room? Which one? Inquiring minds want to know.

I think maybe Reid ran afoul of one of his mobster buddies.

His story sounds like a battered wife saying she ran into a door.

Payback’s a bitch. A few more painful encounters with his exercise equipment might not be out of order. No misfortune is too bad for such a man.

McCain is a leftist who co-exists with other leftist, so his statement still stands.

Reid has had two "exercise accidents" resulting in visible injuries over the last few years.

What are the Las Vegas odds?

“Harry Reid had little to do with the presidential results.”

Yeah, he’s giving himself far too much credit, because the semi-vicous Romney in the primary “ went home” for the general.

And why hasn’t Reid filed a product liability lawsuit?

Remember that Harry Reid, Mitt Romney, and Glenn Beck, all have a behind the doors relationship that is secret to the rest of us, and to other Mormons, who don’t have the ID required for Temple membership, which excludes the vast majority of Mormons.

One absolute requirement is that they supply a minimum of 10% of ALL of their income, to their Mormon headquarters.

Aggressive but honest. The ends cannot justify any means. It doesn’t work. I’m sure Obama bought into his mantra of hope and change but by approaching it through a litany of lies and by unconstitutional power grabs by the executive, the only thing he’s brought us is an autocracy.

Hope those pubbies that still hope for bipartisanship are paying attention - though it’s probably useless to think stupid can be fixed. Just as with the muzzies, there is a war going on that one side refuses to fight.
