The Wisdom of Harry Reid?
Former Democrat Senate leader Harry Ried, who lost a battle with an “exercise Band” that then convinced him to retire from politics, has some advice for Democrats running for things, like the office of President.

I have A Solution for Harry Reid’s Problem With the Bundy Ranch Patriots
We spoke to Jerry DeLemus about the standoff, and what BLM did, or is still doing. And for days now, Senator Harry Reid has been calling the families, moms, kids, and anyone else who showed support for the Bundy family, domestic terrorists.
Reid: “Government is inherently good”. SSA goes after son after they overpay Mom (who is deceased).

Really? Let’s put aside the continual slur laid upon the TEA Party by Reid as he continues to assault anyone or any group that poses a threat to limit the growth of Government (for if it is good, then more MUST be better, right)? Problem is, how’s these apples, Harry? This, is good governance? That an agency as large as the Social Security Agency can take someone’s tax refund willy-nilly after deciding that person needs to pay for SSA’s mistake to another (reformatted, emphasis mine):
Imagine if your parent received an over-payment from the government but decades later, the government took the money out of your tax return. Gilbert Stokes, 60, of Jacksonville, said it happened to him. “I’m angry,” Stokes said Wednesday morning. Stokes felt the same way when he received a letter from the Social Security Administration in January. “[The letter] said [SSA] was going to withhold my taxes unless I contacted about this social security over-payment,” Stokes explained.
Forty-two years ago in 1971, Stokes’ mother Ruby Lee received an over-payment of $895 while he was in the Navy.

ObamaCare provision Prevents Government from Collecting Information on Gun Owners
CNN reports that Harry Reid slipped a mickey into the Patient Affordable Care Act to keep the NRA on the sidelines. Senate amendment 3276, Sec 2716, part c “Protection of Second Amendment Rights” Government cannot collect: “…any information relating to…(A) The lawful ownership or possession of a firearm or ammunition” Lucky for Nancy Pelosi and … Read more

Captains Quarters on the incipient Gun Control activities by the White House and the “set up” in Congress (emphasis mine):
They want to turn hunters against the NRA and modern sporting rifles. Fat chance. That didn’t work out so well for David Petzal or Jerry Tsai. Their plans to divide and conquer the NRA will meet with disastrous results. Every minute spent on such a tactic is wasted, and thus we have to hope that they expend a lot of energy on it.
But the later part of the strategy, i.e., politics, is far more fearsome and they have proven very adept at that approach. Gun Owners of America (h/t Mike Vanderboegh) gives us an inside baseball look at the current tactics.
Now if this was a Republican saying this…

But just as Booker [Corey Booker, Democrat Mayor of Newark, NJ] announced he would seek the Senate seat, Harry Reid came out to sabotage the effort. Reid told Politico: I always support incumbent senators. I would always support Lautenberg or anyone else that’s running for reelection. He’s (Booker) a very good man, he would be … Read more
Harry Reid – “Guns Bring Us Together”
Here is Mr. Reid waxing nostalgic on the days when he carried a gun everywhere he went and on how shooting sports brought families together.
And on the jump, Diane Feinstein for self defense – before she evolved.
Has Jeanne Shaheen Had A Come To Jesus Moment on Taxes?
Eighteen Democrat US Senators have sent a letter to Harry Reid requesting that the Medical Device tax portion of Obama-Care be delayed. The letter does not say it directly, preferring to dance around the issue, but it is obvious that these 18 Democrats, New Hampshire Senator Jeanne Shaheen among them, believe the Medical Device tax … Read more

Harry Reid on Raising Debt Limit to $18.794T: ‘We’ll Raise It’
(CNSNews.com) – Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said on Wednesday that if the $16.394 current legal limit on the federal government’s debt must be raised in the next few months by another $2.4 trillion, “We’ll raise it.”
That would set the debt limit at $18.794 trillion.
Fine. Wonderful. Let’s have the financial armageddon come faster and harder, shall we? Not just $16 Trillion (100% of GDP) but let’s start the process of going to twice that. Gee, I thought that the purpose of our elected leaders was supposed to keep the country safe from enemies from without and within? How does raising the debt to this level accomplish this, Senator Reid? Or is this, again, a feature and not a bug? Would you get even more peevish if I said that this would make us more “susceptible”?
Wonder if that’s why this came up – TODAY (right AFTER the election)?:

It occurs to me that the Obama Administration has a huge problem ahead of it. With Republicans retaining the US House, the various investigations will proceed unhindered. New ones will begin. And the idea of asking uncomfortable questions about the scope of Executive power should be brought to the fore. The US House has significant … Read more

Medicare Fraud – [Updated and Bumped – Again…]
When I say “Medicare Fraud,” I’m not referring to the corrupt practices of people and professionals who are milking taxpayers by running fast circles around the bureaucratic behemoth that is Medicare. I am referring to the left-wing Democrat lie-factory that has nothing in its barren campaign quiver but fear tactics. That is the fraud I am referring to. That and the fraud they will perpetrate on every aspect of the Ryan Budget.
I just hope Harry Reid has nothing to say about the Ryan budget…you know…that might get awkward.
Here’s a short clip from CBS news c/o Hot Air on Romney/Ryan and Medicare…

“Harry Reid” Is now Defined as a Sexual Position
First, thanks to Duane Lester (Fellow RightOnline Blogger) for the heads up on this priceless piece of pop culture. Someone has made an entry to the Urban Dictionary defining the term “Harry Reid.” The Urban Dictionary lists ‘Harry Reid’ as : A sexual position where you climb on top and then do absolutely nothing. Named … Read more
Do Nothing Democrats
It has been three years since the Democrat party produced a federal budget. The Democrat Senate has blocked repeated efforts by the Republican controlled House to ‘do something’ about that. President Obama, Senate leader Harry Reid, and the Democrat leaderships contribution (including their media homunculus) has been to demand compromise without giving any.
NH Dems Endorse Obama Tax Increase
As reported in the Union Leader Ray Buckley and the State Democrat party would like people to call members of congress and encourage them to support Mr. Obama’s tax on investors and job creators so Democrats can fund public sector union jobs and keep the dues-donations rolling in. They also support the push to defer millions in social security revenues on to the shoulders of our children, though Buckley words it differently.
The plan would cut the payroll tax that 30,000 New Hampshire small businesses pay, provide tax relief for families, funding for police, firefighters and teachers, school building improvements and transportation projects in the state.
This entire effort is another organized scam to fund unions and Democrat campaigns, in the run up to November 2012, at taxpayer expense. The payroll tax cut is a useless gesture, not a cut but a deferment, so what we have is more of the same catastrophic economic policy that has kept us in a recession and on the brink of collapse for three years now.
