Since the Senate Finance Committee voted down the public option in its healthcare bill, Senate Majority Leader Reid changed course, saying that his role would be to bring the bill to the floor, not decide if it belonged in a final bill.

1. Pathetic and namby pamby, wishy washy Harry Reid.

3. The 11 Trillion Dollar Questions

1. Have Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi been effective leaders for the Democrats of America?

2. What possible reasons are there for assigning leadership roles to ineffectual losers?

ANSWERS:

1. No

2. It allows the Democrats to continue to appear helpless against the big strong Republicans all the while providing cover for corporate interests. Much like the way the Blue Dogs guarantee there can never be a Democrat majority even when Democrats "have" the majority.

I despise these people.

I despise the sham and the contempt our Democrat "leaders" have for the American people.

I wondered some time ago if the democrats were a fake, a good cop, bad cop, Washington Generals, Harlem Globe Trotters circus. Now I know. Now I really, really, hope more and more people KNOW IT!

4. Is this one weak fuck, Reid? He's republicans wet dream come true - Reid is Oatmeal Man when we

need a very strong forceful & powerful outspoken MAJORITY leader...Instead we get Oatmeal Man's mush to eat.....Dems have a fucking large majority and Reid shrinks & shrinks until he's invisible and when one ever does see Reid it's quite obvious the poor fucker Reid was born without a spine.....A slinky - Reid the Human bowl of Jello!

The republicans love weak Democratic leaders that they can push around, intimidate and bluff - Reid has been their man and we can't get rid of this worm unless he retires or if he loses is next senate bid....I truly don't know which would be worst....getting rid of Harry or a republican?

5. This man is THE SYMBOL of how far America has fallen. And the Democratic Party in

particular.

What a pathetic excuse for a Senator.

6. He'll inform

He'll try
He'll hope
He'll go over
He'll review
He'll see
He'll need a few days
He'll support
and he'll wait

but nowhere does he say he'll lead.

Why in the name of Democracy and dead Democrats through history is this man allowed to continue posing as the Democratic Party Senate Majority Leader?
