A Harry REID appreciation thread

[UTUSN]

Back when Shrub was installed and the first several months the media didn't want to rock the boat.

Then when DASCHLE was "our" leader and he KISSED Shrub.

Nobody but us here was jerking on Shrub, except, I heard this VOICE call Shrub a LIAR, and it was Harry REID.

So after that I've heard being maligned here, and yet, his DEMOCRATIC VOICE has been consistent and strong. Just sayin'

1. How's that ending the...

... the filibusters that aren't actually filibusters thing going?

Perhaps you should look at a calendar, it's 2013 not 2003.

4. We could easily be in the minority in two years and hopefully the filibuster will still be in place.

In return for a plum committee assignment.

9. If you've ever driven through Searchlight Nevada you will even appreciate Senator Reid more.

He is a fine man and a Democratic human being on our side.

10. Reid has repeatedly pushed against Obama and Pelosi on cutting Social Security

But he does need to fix the filibuster. It's a disaster.

13. I like him

I like his ways . . . and I sure hope he doesn't fold.

If he doesn't fold, we should take up a collection a send him flowers from DU....Sen. Dick Durbin is doing a good job too....
