definition of insanity? Re-electing spineless Reid as Majority leader...

[ORDagnabbit]

or was it...doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

same dif..

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. yup.

[treestar]

2. Doesn't matter who it is, you would call them spineless

This is becoming an echo chamber for the right wing. It's not a matter of "courage." What is Harry supposed to do, challenge the Republicans to a duel?

11. I think we've become a nation wanting only red meat and nothing else.

It is so sad, really.

[Demeter]

3. D'accord

[LostInAnomie]

4. Without a doubt.

He is the perfect picture of a weak and ineffective leader.

[Ozymanithrax]

5. Because Reid's opponent would have been so much better...

Insanity is electing the members of the Asylum to it's board of directors.

[PBS Poll-435]

6. I thought Reid finally showed some spine this year

:shrug:

[WingDinger]

7. Just because Reid doesnt have the glib bullshit charisma of Palin?

The man is tough as nails. You want media stars.

[DCKit]

8. You think the quitter has charisma? Yowsa.

IMHO, she's no more or less than the product of an unrelenting (and unwanted) media campaign.

Harry would be as big a star with ten percent of the exposure Flailin's had. He's got substance most of the RW media stars could only dream of.

That said, I also feel he could have been/be far more effective - it's time for Harry to get tough and lay down the law.

9. I think she is nails on chalkboard, but so was Reagan.

10. Reid is neither Spineless nor Stupid...he has the best interest of the Nation at Heart

That makes him the perfect Senate Leader for the intrim....

[BzaDem]

12. Just because you think he's spineless doesn't mean he's spineless.

Spineless would imply that he has power to force issues, but that he doesn't use it.

Of course, in reality, the Senate majority has very little power to overcome a filibuster. Contrary to the perpetual myth we see here, he can't even force Republicans to say ONE WORD of debate, let along speak all night.

[lunatica]

13. Defintion of insanity would have been to elect his opponent

Are you kidding?!

[ORDagnabbit]

14. do you know who his opponent for Majority leader was?

[BlueCheese]

16. Did he even have an opponent?

[donheld]

15. Who would you suggest?

[SoCalDem]

17. The leader should always be from a SAFE state, and should be a BOLD person
