In reply to the discussion: Harry Reid allowed this to happen. [View all]Proud Liberal Dem
(24,464 posts)6. Unrec
We need to stop blaming Reid and the Democrats for this mess. It just lets the Republicans off the hook for their obstructionism and creating these legislative trainwrecks in Congress. This isn't over yet. The public is still overwhelmingly on our side on this issue and if there is any issue that could help with Democratic turnout in 2014, this would be a powerful one.

Harry Reid is a genius-had the 50 been in effect, the amendment would have passed.

That is why a protest vote like in 2000 was so awful. Society needs to be 80-20
