Harry Reid is a piece of sh*t,
as a majority leader, and needs to go. However, he is not a racist.

1. He is not a piece of anything....
and calling names really isn't what we are about.

If you want less Democratic Senators in congress, fine....
that's what you want.

But what you are doing isn't required.

26. Me too.
And I think over the same thing.

"....and calling names really isn't what we are about."

:rofl:

Really? That came from Frenchie's keyboard mouth. Wow.

3. I don't want less Democratic Senators,
I just don't want Senator Reid to be majority leader, because, as a leader, he is a piece of shit.

27. Well, excuse fucking me,
Edited on Tue Jan-12-10 05:16 PM by rateyes
for using "less" rather than "fewer."

We need "less" of Reid's bullshit, and "fewer" DINOs.

Better?

And, why not correct the person to whom (that word should be "whom," if I'm "correct") I replied for using "less" rather than "fewer?"

17. Would it be less offensive to you if we said that Harry Reid is a piece of work?
I don't think we can find many less Democratic Senators nor would that be our goal.

20. What I want is BETTER Democratic Senators in Congress. And I suspect...
...that's what the poster wants too.

I totally agree about the name-calling, but mischaracterizing someone's position isn't much better.

28. It doesn't matter. On Wednesday, November 3rd, he'll be getting his lay-off notice.
At least four years too late for most of us, unfortunately.

11. Reid has been a great majority leader.
Trent Lott is a peice of sh*t. So was Strom Thurmond.

21. Reid is a terrible majority leader.
Spineless, feckless and basically worthless. Better to put someone in who actually has a spine.

13. While he may disappoint... go back through other past dem majority leaders in the senate
and Reid is far more pugnacious and ready to fight the GOP than the previous two Daschle and Mitchell (and while I liked the latter, he was way more conciliatory). You have to go back to the 80s when Byrd was majority leader to find more fight rather than conciliation to the republicans.

Not a cheerleader - but sometimes get frustrated with the lack of long-period perspective.

14. Actually anytime you link behavior to race you are by definition racist
The fact that he communicated such a opinion is either a sign of faulty mental wiring or a rare dropping of his guard which prevents such alleged gaffs.

Nobody describes Bush or Palin's speech impediments in terms of race.



Reid is worthless. I didn't think didn't anyone could be worse than Daschle, but here we are.

19. I think it's more that if you hold the belief that one race is inherently
better, or worse, than other races - then you are a racist. Otherwise, it is simply bigotry.

24. it isn't even bigotry. it's stereotyping.
which isn't good but is nothing approaching bigotry or racism on the scale of bad things.

33. One cannot write what you wrote
without also being guilty of posting a sentence fragment.

I do the same, and I make spelling mistakes, although I'm generally a good speller. And others conflate 'less' with 'fewer' (see upthread). Fair enough?

and worse than just linking behavior to race.

32. unRecing. Harry could be more liberal but he's certainly less conservative than some we have
The Senate might need to elect a different leader but we have 5 or 6 DINOs in the Senate who need to go before Harry. He is likely to lose his election here in 2010 and that will be one less Democratic Senator. And one less that generally voted for Democratic policies.
