Right Wing RedState crowing about Reid always obeying McConnell's orders
What is a “McConnell Compromise?”

It’s when Mitch McConnell tells Harry Reid to go do something, and then Harry Reid goes and does it:

Senate Democrats put off plans to seat Franken

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid yielded to Republican threats and agreed on Monday not to immediately seat fellow Democrat Al Franken, whose razor-close victory in Minnesota faces legal challenges.

Senate Republicans had planned to disrupt the opening of the new Congress on Tuesday by blocking Franken’s swearing-in.

And in another ugly fight, Senate Democrats vowed to block, at least for now, the seating of fellow party member Roland Burris whose appointment by embattled Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich carries a whiff of political scandal.




Reid’s the best Senate Majority Leader that the GOP’s ever had, really. TWO MORE YEARS! TWO MORE YEARS!

This is not the first time RedState has crowed about Reid being McConnell's slave, nor do I expect it will be the last. DC Villagers read RedState, so DC Dems are aware that GOPers believe Dems exist only to obey every GOPer command.

1. Why wouldn't they crow about it? It's true, is it not?
Let there be no doubt nor question.

70% of Americans have NO ONE representing them in the Imperial Congress.

NO ONE.


That is the FACT of the matter, window-dressing notwithstanding.

3. The last time Dems were in charge, more right wing legislation was passed

than ever before. The last eight GOPer years were a disaster, but with Reid in charge it is looking as if he is going to beat the GOPer record for winger legislation.

2. Well, when they're right, they're right.
No pun intended.

Reid does seem to be the lapdog of the conservatives in this country.

4. I think they're wrong
to see compromise as a loss like in a football game. It's the way Congress works, especially the Senate.

5. Why shouldn`t they crow?
They`re right. Put a little pressure on Reid and he`ll bend like a malleable Gumby Doll. Over and over and over.

7. Someone like Rachel or Hartmann or Keith needs to get Reid on
and ask him point blank why the Repukes are still dictating his every move. Then they should ask him to give up his leadership post and tell him to his face that he's a disgrace to everyone who contributed to Obama this year.
