The Government shuts down. Time for Harry Reid to go!!!

Posted on | October 1, 2013 | 6 Comments

Current impasse in the Continuing resolution shows that Harry Reid must go and the sooner, the better. GOP led House of Representatives submitted three different proposals to the Senate showing willingness to negotiate and compromise:

1 first proposal involves defunding Obamacare while funding the government

2. second proposal would delay Obamacare fora year

3. third proposal would delay the individual mandate an strip all healthcare benefits from member of Congress and their staff

4. finally the House proposed to form a special negotiation committee.

Reid and Obama responded with one word: NO. They did not show any willingness or ability to negotiate. It is time for GOP to pause, pass only emergency bills to pay salaries for the first responders and emergency personal and wait for a reasonable counter-offer.

Reid is a 73 year old mummified dinosaur.

Based on his performance the impasse will last longer. It appears Reid placed his ego over the well-being of the country. It is time for him to go. Senate needs to pick someone who has real life experience and ability to negotiate. Sentor Joe Manchin of WV might be such a person. Manchin used to be the governor of  WV, a swing state, he has experience in negotiating and bringing parties together. Excerpts from Reid’s bio show that he is no mother-Theresa and his current stance might be motivated by more than just ego and political posturing.

today GOP needs to pass a bill providing salaries to other first respondents and emergency employees: Border Patrol and Air Traffic Controllers during the time of shutdown, the same way they passed military salaries bill and demand a compromise offer from the Senate to continue talking. a response received from the senate, which shows no willingness to compromise, is not acceptible

Over the years Reid has been criticized at times by both sides of the political aisle. Liberal critics have argued that Reid was not doing enough to end the American military presence in Iraq,[34] and that he allowed Senate Republicans to create a 60-vote bar for passage of bills without a Democratic filibuster.[35][36][37] Conservatives have criticized Reid for his extensive use of the procedural tactic known as “Filling the tree” to prevent amendments on important bills. [38]

Reid has also been criticized for several potentially self-enriching tactics. In 2005, Reid earmarked a spending bill to provide for building a bridge between Nevada and Arizona that would make land he owned more valuable. Reid called funding for construction of a bridge over the Colorado River, among other projects, “incredibly good news for Nevada” in a news release after passage of the 2006 transportation bill. He owned 160 acres (65 ha) of land several miles from the proposed bridge site in Arizona. The bridge could add value to his real estate investment.[39] A year later it was reported that Reid had used campaign donations to pay for $3,300 in Christmas gifts to the staff at the condominium where he resides;[40] federal election law prohibits candidates from using political donations for personal use. Reid’s staff stated that his attorneys had approved use of the funds in this manner, but that he nonetheless would personally reimburse his campaign for the expenses. Those reports notwithstanding, the conservative group Citizens United announced it had filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission to investigate the matter.[41]

A series of investigative reports in the Los Angeles Times[42][43][44][45] suggested that Reid had introduced legislation and imposed pressure on regulatory agencies to advance the business interests of his close friend Harvey Whittemore, a Nevada attorney-lobbyist who contributed heavily to Reid’s campaigns and leadership fund and who employed Reid’s son Leif as his personal attorney. With Reid’s help, Whittemore was able to proceed with construction of a $30 billion planned golf course development, Coyote Springs, a project heavily criticized by environmental groups for reasons including its projected effects on several endangered species.[46][47]

In 2006, the National Republican Senatorial Committee attempted to associate Reid with the Jack Abramoff Indian lobbying scandal by pointing out he had “received more than $50,000 from four tribes with gaming interests between 2001 and 2004 after they hired Abramoff“. Reid denied any wrongdoing, and media reported that the Center for Responsive Politics, a non-partisan research group, had produced an analysis showing a general increase in the amount and number of contributions by Indian tribes since the late 1990s.[48][49]

Reid apologized on January 9, 2010, for racially tinged comments he had made when Obama was campaigning for president. In private conversations, Reid had remarked that Obama could win the Presidency because the country was ready to embrace a black presidential candidate, especially one such as Obama—to whom he referred as being “light-skinned” and “with no Negro dialect, unless he wanted to have one”. These comments had been recently revealed by journalists Mark Halperin and John Heilemann in Game Change, their book about the 2008 election. In addition to his public apology, Reid called Obama to apologize; Obama accepted his apology, stating that as far as he was concerned, the book was closed on the incident.[50][51][52] RNC Chairman Michael Steele and Senators John Cornyn and Jon Kyl called on Reid to resign his leadership position in the Senate, citing Majority Leader Trent Lottresigning because of a statement relating to race. However, multiple experts said there was virtually no chance of such a thing happening. DNC Chairman Tim Kaine and Senators Dianne Feinstein and Jack Reed expressed support for Reid and confidence he would retain his leadership position, and another senior Democrat indicated Reid has “produced supportive statements from key African American leaders in the Congress and civil rights community”.[53]

In August 2010, Harry Reid spoke in front of National Council of La Raza: “I don’t know how anyone of Hispanic heritage could be a Republican, OK. Do I need to say more?”[54] The following day, Dr. Manny Alvarez and Republican Senator Marco Rubio, both of Hispanic descent, spoke out against Reid’s remarks.[55]

During the summer of 2012, Reid said during an interview with The Huffington Post that he had received information from an unidentified investor in Bain Capital that presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney did not pay any taxes for 10 years.[56] The accusation was repeated on the Senate floor by Reid on August 2, 2012.[57] On the following Sunday’s political morning talk shows, several Republicans disagreed with Reid.[58] According to CBS News, Romney stated, “Let me also say, categorically, I have paid taxes every year — and a lot of taxes. So Harry is simply wrong.” PolitiFact.com‘s Truth-O-Meter rated the accusation as “Pants on Fire!”[59] CBS also reported that Romney had submitted 23 years of tax returns to the John McCain campaign in 2008, when he was being vetted for the vice presidential nomination. Although McCain did not review all the tax returns himself, he stated “Nothing in these tax returns showed that he did not pay taxes.”[60]

Cultural and political image[edit]

Reid speaks during the third night of the2008 Democratic National Convention inDenver, Colorado.

Part of Harry Reid’s confrontation with Frank Rosenthal while chair of the Nevada Gaming Commission is reenacted in the 1995 movieCasino.[61][62] Reid had a role in the movie Traffic (2000), in which he played himself.[63] He appeared along with Senator Sam Brownback and then Senator Barack Obama in the 2007 documentary film Sand and Sorrow, which details the genocide in Sudan.[64]

Reid was elected to the Gaming Hall of Fame in 2001

    now you can file a lawsuit against the government because there is no funding for obama care and yet OBAMA is having people work on the exchanges. This is in violation of the Constitution and CONGRESS has power of purse.

    do it

    At a time when the U.S. BORROWS (from China and elsewhere) nearly fifty cents of every dollar our idiotic, self-absorbed politicians spend, Harry Reid and his fellow die-hard liberal know-it-alls seem hell-bent on destroying the dollar as the world’s reserve currency by their continued profligate and unsustainable deficit spending, as well as destroying our nation’s economy, jobs and the Democratic party.

    It’s time for ALL of them to go. They have become destructive to those ends, there is absolutely NO benefit to this tyrannical form of government, it’s harmful, wasteful, dangerous, and useless. It’s corrupt to the bone, and destroying this country, we’d be better off without a government. We need a total recall election to purge the vermin.

    Exactly, as JoeBanana said, it’s time for ALL of them to go (and for some – to gallows).

    The US Army must come to its senses – particularly to the sense of duty. So far the entire Army turned into Red Army USA (https://www.resonoelusono.com/2008vs1917.htm) violating its oath to uphold the Constitution, and listening to the orders of the “Commander-in-thief” – a foreign usurper. So far they chose to serve to this illegitimate government. Too bad that their salary does not stop. If it did, it would help them to realize that they made a wrong choice and prompting them to rush and topple this illegal government. Better later than never.
