Quote of the Day

Lebowsky, you call Harry Reid a moderate and an outstanding Senator. You are certainly welcome to your opinion, and maybe he looks good to a liberal from his home state. But unfortunately, Reid is the leader of the Senate with tremendous power to run the Senate. In my opinion, the way he has exercised that power to block the legislative process for the last four years and prevent compromise has caused great damage to this country. A specific example is the role he played in talks leading to the fiscal cliff compromise. After refusing any compromise with Boener, then refusing any compromise with McConnell, and after throwing the White House suggestions into his fireplace, he was replaced with VP Biden in the talks. Only then, and after the 11th hour, did this country get an ugly compromise that avoided an even worse plunge off the cliff. Harry may look good to Nevada, but he looks very bad to the rest of the country.

The real extremists are Obama and the democrats. Why would any Tea Party Rep vote for a package which would raise taxes on any group when Reid already said the Senate would not bring it up and Obama said that if passed, he would veto it? That was a nonstarter. Boehner did his best to compromise with those whose main aim was not the country’s best interests but merely a political oneupsmanship. On to the next chapter, since they punted the real decision down the road a couple of months. God help this country.

Only an idiot believes that higher taxes will fix the problem. It is a proven fact that the Bush tax cuts brought in more tax revenue, which is why the GOP wants lower taxes–it boosts our economy and brings more jobs and more revenue.

Getting back to Reid, here is his latest. “The people of New Orleans and that area, they were hurt, but nothing in comparison to what happened to the people in New York and New Jersey,” Reid said. Congressman Vitter from Louisiana called him an idiot.

Let’s see, you used Kabuki Theater, Dysfunctional, Extremists, and Far Right for those you oppose. I used Idiot. Glad to know you are from California. You might not know that many conservative Republicas are Governors of states like Wisconsin, Michigan, New Jersey (well…), and other states not in the south. There are some pretty good Republicans from California, like Daryl Issa, for example. In fact if you look at the map from the election, GOP votes were heavy in all states, mostly in the more rural areas. But to stay on track, Harry Reid may say he misspoke, but he is an idiot.

Actually, Mr Lebowsky, I aimed my “idiot” label not at you personally, but at anyone whose brain can look at the facts and then disregard them when it comes to taxation and revenue. If you fit that description, then please don’t take it personally. Again, Sen Reid is the object of my displeasure, and I agree with Sen Vitter.
