**Written by Doug Powers Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi must drink their lunch from the same jar of delusion: On the first day of the new Congress, the Nevada Democrat lamented in his opening remarks what he referred to as obstruction from Senate Republicans over the past few years, accusing them of using stalling tactics [...]

Harry goes Gaga over DADT vote

**Written by Doug Powers Back in October, Harry Reid reminded voters how tirelessly he’s worked to fulfill his constitutional duty of spending as much taxpayer money as humanly possible. Now Reid’s humble Jeffersonian mission is being slowed and he can’t understand why. A little frustrated, Harry? I think Harry’s angry because, hey, he single-handedly saved [...]

Scroll for updates…and contemplate this astounding fact: “For the first time in the history of the modern budget process, this Congress failed to even vote on a budget for next year.” Whatever it takes, eh, Dingy Harry? The big buzz in Washington this afternoon is over Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s warning to colleagues that [...]

Harry “Who’s the loser now?” Reid had quite the week. His DREAM Act illegal alien bailout was put on ice; his DADT deal went up in flames. Tonight,he announced that the cloture vote on the tax deal has been scheduled for Monday at 3pm Eastern. He still intends to cram shamnesty into the lame-duck session [...]

The open-borders lobby went all in for Barack Obama, who promised them “comprehensive immigration reform” — translation: blanket amnesty — and failed to deliver. Then they went all in for Harry Reid (reminder: Harry Reid’s non-English-speaking voting bloc). And now, the OBL expects “payback.” Roll Call reports: Immigration reform advocates said Wednesday that Senate Majority [...]

Nothing smells right about Harry Reid. His re-election on Tuesday has deepened the stench. Theories are flying left and right to explain the failure of polls that had consistently showed Sharron Angle ahead. The New York Times points to Latinos as Reid’s hidden salvation. And not just any Latinos. It was apparently Latinos who prefer [...]

Soon-to-be lame duck Harry Reid is promising yet another vote on the perpetually rejected DREAM Act illegal alien student bailout. Univision host Jorge Ramos crowed about it on his Twitter page, promoting an interview with Reid scheduled to air this Sunday. The Huffington Post confirmed: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has promised to bring [...]

“Please disperse! Nothing to see here!”

“Please let the serfs believe it”

In style and substance, Lady in Red Sharron Angle trounced the four-term Democrat Senate incumbent and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid at tonight’s Las Vegas debate. He preposterously called George W. Bush “his friend” (after infamously branding him a “loser“), claimed credit for the surge in Iraq (after questioning General Petraeus’s competence and character), and [...]

“We the people…”

Thanks to all of you who helped with Operation Buck Up Maine and phoned Sens. Snowe and Collins to hold the line against the special interest, speech-squelching DISCLOSE Act. The Senate is now voting on the do-over cloture motion. (It failed to muster 60 votes in July. Cloture vote 57-41.) GOP Leader McConnell assailed the [...]

They won’t take no for an answer. So we have to give them both barrels again. On July 27, the Senate voted down the Democrats’ union-friendly, loophole-ridden, Orwellian-titled DISCLOSE Act. The bogus campaign finance reform bill was, as Sen. Mitch McConnell put it, a “transparent attempt to rig fall elections” that was written “behind closed [...]

“Are those space pants you’re wearing, because your legislating is out of this world!”

Scroll for updates…10:53am Eastern…Confirmed w/Ark.Democrat Sen. Mark Pryor’s office…he’s a NO on DREAM Act amndt…see updated phone list below for more…vote reportedly pushed back to 2:30pm Eastern…trouble in Reid-land?…12:02pm Collins is a no on cloture…so is Voinovich…Biden tried to woo Collins in phone call, failed…2:58pm Eastern Cloture vote FAILS to reach 60-vote threshold, GOP sticks [...]

The open-borders lobby is out in full force, launching a week-long campaign yesterday to pass another illegal alien amnesty-by-another-name. DREAM Act activists and Hispanic lawmakers strategized with President Obama at the White House. The “undocumented students action and resource network” has been activated. How about you? Keep track of where your lawmakers stand at NumbersUSA. [...]

And the winner is…

I’ve been covering the bipartisan open-borders push for the illegal alien DREAM Act since 2004. Quick legislative recap: Senate Republicans beat back the attempt to give special in-state college tuition preference to illegal aliens in 2007. It fell eight votes short of cloture in 2008 and was reintroduced in the House in 2009 to no [...]

**Written by Doug Powers Harry Reid is a genius when it comes to military tactics — just ask him. The Las Vegas Review-Journal recently questioned the Harry Reid and Sharron Angle campaigns on various issues. Here’s part of the Reid campaign’s explanation for why the Nevada Senator once said “the war is lost”: On REID’S [...]

When Dingy Harry last opened his mouth to spout off about race, he was blabbing to left-leaning journalist/authors about Obama’s “light skin” and lack of a “Negro dialect.” Masochistic minority Democrats rallied around Reid at a dog-and-pony rally, though at least one person spoke truth to power. Flashback: “If he had any real black friends, [...]

Que?

Oops.

He is not a useful idiot. He’s just an idiot.

H-A-R-R-Y-R-E-I-D. “Today is a big day in America. Only 36,000 people lost their jobs today, which is really good.” *** Commenter jsr: “With any luck November 3 we will be able to say: ‘Today is a big day in America. Over 300 congressmen lost their jobs today, which is really good.’” *** Update: Obama says [...]

This is what desperation looks like, via the Washington Times: A bipartisan group of senators forged agreement on a jobs bill that drew the White House’s blessing Thursday – but hours later Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid scuttled the deal and replaced it with his own Democrat-written measure. Scrambling to show Democrats are taking action [...]

In his State of the Union Address, President Obama purported to reach across the aisle by endorsing a “new generation of safe, clean nuclear power plants”…before pushing cap and trade. The nearly $4 trillion budget he released today exposes his nuclear lie. It zeroes out funds for the besieged Yucca Mountain nuclear storage facility in [...]

Obama was supposed to set a “new tone” in Washington tonight. Don’t think he meant the tone to sound like snoring. Janet Napolitano should have brought her Snuggie to the State of the Union Address. Here she is putting the “nap” in Napolitano: (hat tip: Cristy Li) Harry Reid forgot to drink his Red Bull, [...]

Aw, how sweet. Looks like the minority dog-and-pony show for Harry Reid went off without a hitch. Everyone sang from the “Hail, Harry” hymn book in acceptable dialect. Well, almost: Bonnie Juniel, who came to the event to see Brazile, said she has been supporting Reid for 40 years and is ready to help get [...]

The Nevada News Bureau catches Dingy Harry fibbing to voters about Demcare math and reduced doctor reimbursements. Joe Wilson moment: It is now old news that Senator Harry Reid extolled the virtues of his health care bill before a packed house at UNLV’s Judy Bailey Theater in Las Vegas last Thursday night. Reid said the [...]
