Weasel Harry Reid Says He Won’t Seek Re-Election

By Elizabeth Nelson

After Harry Reid got beat up in January, by a mystery assailant.  Oh, fell down, bumped his head and broke his face exercising - that's his story and he's sticking to it. The Senate Majority wimp, the desk where all House Bills went to die - has finally seen the light after three long decades.  Career Senator, Harry Reid, has announced he will not seek re-election after his term finally dies of old age. Good riddance to a bad weasel. You did us NO favors, you Obama water carrier and agenda pusher. 

Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obama’s ambitious agenda against fierce Republican resistance.

“I understand this place,” Mr. Reid said. “I have quite a bit of power as minority leader.”

He has already confounded the new Republican majority this year by holding Democrats united against a proposal to gut the Obama administration’s immigration policies as well as a human-trafficking measure Democrats objected to over an anti-abortion provision.

 “I want to be able to go out at the top of my game,” said Mr. Reid, who used a sports metaphor about athletes who try to hang on too long. “I don’t want to be a 42-year-old trying to become a designated hitter.”

He posted his "good bye speech" on youtube, telling the world that his "exercising accident" gave him time with his wife, but that it had little to do with his decision to bail on politics - after three excruciatingly long decades.  He also told Mitch McConnell not to get too happy, with his decision, that he still had 22 months [to squash, sit on the GOP's Bills and carry Obama's water] before his term languishes and dies of old age. 

My life’s work has been to make Nevada and our nation better. Thank you for giving me that wonderful opportunity. https://t.co/dwy2rDWYhO

I've read some liberal commentary say, "This is going to be a big absence on Capitol hill..."  Really? His desk is where bills went to die, maybe now they will actually get bipartisan legislation passed and something done in Washington.  It's amazing how Reagan, Bush and Clinton all managed to get things done with a split Congress, but this President can get nothing done. He couldn't even get things done when he  had control of, during his first term.  He didn't pass gay marriage, gun control, health care insurance or Amnesty when he had full-control, so he can't blame the "obtrusive GOP" now.

Mr. Reid’s tenure has become increasingly combative in recent years and included a procedural change on nominations that infuriated Republicans. He also came under fire for blocking floor debate, and even some of his Democratic colleagues suggested that he was stifling the Senate. Just this week, he alienated House Democrats who thought he was sabotaging a compromise on Medicare.

Finally, the truth is brought out into the light, that the Democrats, with Weasel Reid as their "leader," are the combative one.  However, "combative" is the understatement of the millennium. Yet it's the GOP that are blamed for being the "obstructionists" to progress, because these Demonrats can do no wrong with this Administration.

His departure at the end of 2016 will create an opening both at the top of the Senate Democratic hierarchy and in a Senate contest that would have been a mega spending slugfest in the presidential battleground of Nevada. Conservatives such as Charles G. and David H. Koch, the billionaire brothers who were a favorite target of Reid criticism in 2014, would have spared no expense in trying to oust him.  Read more NY TIMES

There may be light at the end of this tunnel, after all. With the end of Obama's reign will come a lot of change, hopefully in the right direction.  Obama leaves and out go his water carriers, one by one as we see with Reid, if we do this right.  I wonder if there is any way we can convince Reid to take Pelosi with him and make this a party.  Now, all we have to do is stop listening to the liberals when they start chasing their tails and telling us, "we can't win" and they "have all the power," and start coming together to convince the rest of the world that we can win and take our country back.
