Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) Monday promised a small business incentive package would kick off the abbreviated Senate agenda heading into the November midterm election amid continued partisan acrimony.

“When we return to the Senate this fall, Democrats’ first order of business will be to pass bipartisan legislation that helps small businesses create jobs,” Reid said in a Labor Day statement. He also said Democrats will look to extend middle-class tax cuts.

Reid extended the partisan war of words carried over from the pre-August recess agenda by blaming Republicans for the stalemate. “So far, nearly every Senate Republican has blocked these common-sense solutions, instead betting against American workers and against our economic recovery,” Reid said. “I hope Republicans will stop pushing their job-killing agenda, which is harming our nation’s recovery, and instead start honoring our nation’s workforce by supporting our job-creation efforts.”

5. Again. Haven't they learned?

What's the definition of stupidity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting the same result. Harry Reid, you are stupid.

2. "Bipartisan": What baloney. Reid is a naive, weak, wimpy leader. He "hopes" republicans

will stop pushing.....

3. I think a jobs incentive bill aimed at small businesses, especially as a stand alone bill,

would be a good opening for the session. Repub opposition would be hard for them to publicly justify, imo. It would be flat out wrong in the current economic situation and politically damaging. Obstructionism just for the sake of obstructionism will only play so far on a basic jobs bill.

4. Will The Media Call The GOP On Voting Against Tax Cuts...

That is the question.

7. Reid is horrible... during the Bush-Bust, and now under Obama.

Lead or get out of the way, Hapless Harry...
