Harry Reid on GOP Budget Cuts: Let's Have a Vote

Posted: Mar 8, 2011

This is one article:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is promising an up-or-down vote on the $61 billion in budget cuts passed by House Republicans — just to show that version of the spending bill is “dead” – even if the upper chamber has to debate until 1 a.m. to prove the point.

“I hope we have a vote on this today,” said Reid to reporters. “If not, we’re going to go through all this procedural process. They cannot stop us from having a vote on H.R. 1. [the Republican spending bill] We want the American people to know that H.R. 1 is dead, and we’ll get there.”

And here's the Other One:

File this under: Did Harry Reid just say that?

In the middle of his tirade against House Republicans' "mean-spirited" budget bill on the Senate floor Tuesday, the Senate Majority Leader lamented that the GOP’s proposed budget cuts would eliminate the annual "cowboy poetry festival” in his home state of Nevada. (See also: Reid’s prostitution lecture bombs.)

Reid clearly has a soft spot for the Baxter Blacks of the poetry world and thinks Republicans don't.

“The mean-spirited bill, H.R. 1 … eliminates the National Endowment of the Humanities, National Endowment of the Arts,” said Reid. “These programs create jobs. The National Endowment of the Humanities is the reason we have in northern Nevada every January a cowboy poetry festival. Had that program not been around, the tens of thousands of people who come there every year would not exist.”

Oh no!! Say it isn't so!! We might have to cut the cowboy poetry festival? This is unconscionable! I'm calling my senator right now! Those conservatives are just a bunch of racist cowboy haters!

isn't he? He could stay at Harry's house and save the hotel bill. He can afford it...take a look at what his estimated worth is. If he is all about helping the poor he should donate is senate salary. "Do as I say and not as I do" comes to MIND. Had the nerve to say that he is a Democrat because Democrats want to "help" people. GAG. To borrow a quote from above...what you DO speaks so loud I can't hear what you SAY.

They should all donate thier salaries! - Zville MT

Well, I knew he had money....but I was shocked - at how much....

Larry (Harry Reid's brother) claimed he and Harry got into a family argument, then a physical altercation, resulting in Harry being beat up and sent to the hospital.

There was noticeable glee among supporters of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) Tuesday night. The upset victory of Tea Party favorite Sharron Angle in the Nevada Republican primary ensures that the subsequent months of campaigning will be fought as much over her record as his. By Wednesday morning, the flood of opposition research on Angle had burst wide open. Talking Points Memo reported that Angle once "spoke out strongly against fluoride, the substance known alternately for improving ...

He just keeps digging the hole deeper a/k/a foot-in-mouth disease for the reason why he should not be re-elected to office. Now he insults everyone who has trouble accessing and signing up for Obamacare. If he is up for election this year and if he is re-elected, then I think those who vote for him need to see a psychiatrist.

They worked late into the night to pass it. It will cost $858 billion but it gives everyone a "breather" for a while. Reid pulled the Omnibus bill off the table; i.e., just died. John McCain, Tom Coburn, and Jim DeMint were the reason because they wanted the bill read page per page. Guess Reid didn't want the people to know what was really in the bill. I had forgotten some of the crap in there but thankfully, the John Murtha Foundation (biggest crook in PA) will not be funded, n ...

"For cabinet nominees you need 60 and for judicial nominees you need 60, until Harry Reid came along in 2013 and blew up the-60-vote rule, and this is called “the nuclear option,” and Harry Reid decreed — because he ran the Senate, Senate majority leader. He ran it. He was able to ramrod rules changes through. So beginning in 2013, 60 votes were no longer need to affirm presidential appointments, nominations, or judges for every court except the Supreme Court. All you needed was 51 vote ...

"Senate Democrats lost their majority on Harry Reid's watch, but they're closing ranks about him anyway. Most Democrats have Reid's back, prepared to stand by him as minority leader through a tumultuous 2 years as he simultaneously runs for reelection in Nevada."

Most of the Dems also tried to distance themselves from Obama before the midterms and even truly felt that Bill and Hillary Clinton were b ...

'Bout time. Now maybe more will get done after he leaves.

They were doing a blitz voting binge so they could go home and worked into the night. That's the way it should be done (voting, not the binge voting). Maybe if they wouldn't take so much time off, ...

It was early 2009, and the Senate Democratic Leader was reeling from the revelation that he praised Barack Obama’s “light skin” and lack of a “Negro dialect.” Polls showed Reid going to the way of his predecessor, Tom Daschle, who lost reelection in 2004, as the Nevadan faced revolt both at home and in Washington, and on both the right and left.
