Harry Reid is afraid of losing power. Very afraid. So all of a sudden he’s doing battle against President Obama and those rascally Republicans who, apparently, have secretly joined forces to do battle against Captain Nevada and the Constitution.
“I’ve been one who does believe in our Constitution, separation of powers. And one of the issues that I have fought (for) is to make sure the White House doesn’t continually take from us our power. Everyone should understand this earmark issue is simply that – a way for the Executive branch of government to steal power we’ve been granted in our Constitution. We have a Constitutional duty to do Congressionally-directed spending. And I don’t want to gie up that responsibility. I can’t understand why some of the more conservative members here want to give up their power. I don’t understand that.”
Absolutely true. If there’s one thing Harry doesn’t understand, it’s giving up power.

What?!? Somebody must have just told him that the concept of "separation of powers" is implied in the US Constitution, but actually stated in the "Federalist Papers" and by Thomas Paine in "Common Sense." Besides he and Nancy get all the power they can handle from O'buttmunch...they've got their heads so far up his ass, if he took a quick right turn they'd break their "collective" necks.
If only Harry had truly lost it on November 2nd. What a Merry Christmas it would
have been not having to listen to him anymore.
I gotta admit that despite the fact Harry Reid is a total waste of sperm, I am amazed he kept his job & kept Clustershcumck Shcumer from become Senate Majority Leader. The fact Harry saved his lame ass might be a good thing in the short term. He is very easy to hate, he's always saying something ridiculous, & he's got senority. So for the next 2 years...
Well then, I guess Harry will enjoy the 112th "Tea Party" Congress kickin' butt and swingin' elbows January 3, 2011 - January 3, 2013.
Oh, Harry, Harry, Harry. Giving up the power was just fine with you when you guys were all working together to bankrupt the nation. You don't even realize that the people are not saying they want lower taxes.
They're saying they want less government, and if they have to starve it to get it under control, they will.
When I first heard that if they didn't pass a resolution to fund the government through the end of the year it would be shut down for a few days, my first thought was "ok, so what's the problem with that?"
I'm sure there are A LOT of people who thought the same thing.
Yup Omar, I'm one or them. But then, who listens to me?
Just a few days? Why not do it right? They say that only non-essential personnel will be furloughed. Shouldn't non-essential personnel be laid off? Permanently? I know, I'm a crazy radical.
We'll go for liberty on the installment plan if we can't get it all at once.
