Harry Reid, Resign
I don't know Harry Reid, but he used to strike me as an honest Democrat with at least some progressive leanings and a former boxer's willingness to fight.
But not any more. Reid's Senate has sold out Democratic principles on every issue from Iraq to energy to wiretapping.
Why has Reid betrayed us on wiretapping? There are three possibilities:
- Reid personally supports Big Brother government
- Reid sold his soul to the telecom giants for campaign cash to Democrats
- Reid is being blackmailed with incriminating pictures or tapes
Of course, he won't tell us the truth either way. In fact, Reid won't even admit he's betraying us.
Reid's betrayal on wiretapping has pushed leading progressive bloggers over the edge. In a DailyKos poll, 91% disapprove of the way Reid is doing his job. Kos speaks for me:
In short, "holds" bottle up legislation if Republicans place them. Not so much if Democrats do.
And here I thought Reid was the Democratic majority leader. I'm done with him.
Dodd for majority leader!
Dodd would make a great majority leader, as would Barbara Boxer, Dick Durbin, Russ Feingold, Tom Harkin, Sheldon Whitehouse, and a handful of other Democrats.
Harry Reid, please resign and make room for a real Democrat to serve as Majority Leader.

Democratic “Leadership”
Democratic “Leadership” Chain-of-Command:
Will Marshall – Progressive Policy Institute (PPI): Grand Pooh-Bah
Al From – Democratic “Leadership” Council (DLC): Executive Grand Pooh-Bah
- Harold Ford Jr. – DLC Corporate Money Bag-man
Chris Van Hollen – Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC): House Pooh-Bah
- Rahm Emanuel – House Democratic Caucus Chair: DLC Caucus Pooh-Bah
- Nancy Pelosi – House “Speaker“: House DCCC/DLC Errand Person
Charles Schumer – Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee (DSCC): Senate Pooh-Bah
- Bob Menendez – DSCC Vice Chair: DLC Executive Senate Pooh-Bah
- Harry Reid – Senate Majority “Leader”: Senate DSCC/DLC Errand Person
These "Leaders" are concerned with only one thing: collecting enough corporate quid pro quo money via the DLC to get themselves re-elected.
So much for "Give 'em Hell
So much for "Give 'em Hell Harry" which used to show up in my inbox.
There shouldn't be-if there ARE any left- doubters about exactly where 'ol Harry stands.
It's NOT with us.
The only thing I can think of is...
Reid found a horse's head in his bed, one of many planted in various people's beds by Bush/Cheney and their thugs...
If so, that's great - then
If so, that's great - then Harry can make a WHOLE horse.
Very good one Msfitts ;)

The greatest derangement of the mind is to believe in something because one wishes it to be so.
impeachment
Blackmail, warrantless wiretapping, I wonder if these two things have anything to do with why so many democratic members of congress are rubber stamping everything Bush wants.
