Senator Boxer....
Edited on Wed Oct-20-10 09:35 PM by WCGreen
With all do respect, if Harry Reid hasn't closed the deal by now over one of the most disqualified person, and quite frankly, close to being bat-shit crazy person to run for the Senate this year, why do you think my ten dollars would actually make a difference in his race?

One more commercial is going to do it.

Paying some over priced person who calls him/her self a consultant trying to get that right message out in just the nick of time will put Harry over the top.

Seriously.

Perhaps if he would have shown some leadership, people in the middle respect leadership over partisanship, perhaps we wouldn't be in this mess now would we.

For a whole year you let the republican party define you while appearing Wishy Washy.

Remember Lyndon Johnson?

He probably would have taken wavering democrats on the health care proposal into some Senate Back Room and told the prick or the prickette that they had better get on board or their staff would be slashed, their committee assignments would be up for "examination" and that if they had a chair, well that would under scrutiny as well.

Just something to ponder...

10. Just because I am not going to send 10 bucks to Harry Reid does not
mean I want the republican to win.

The extrapolating is staggering.

The point was that if he has not closed the deal by now perhaps shows that there is something wrong with his campaign or his style of leadership.

And yes, it was a huge mistake on my part.

13. No, it was not a huge mistake...
It was very minor and easily overlooked, IMHO...

You write well, dammit.

:hug:

12. I think it's disrespectful to use a 1 instead of an exclamation point...
...and to add an extra t at the beginning of 'the'. ;-)

Come on, now. :P

16. Yeah, like Harry Reid's campaign really stinks and it's all his fault since he only has a few ads --



over 50 by the best talent in the country ---

Stupid right?

Yeah, it's all his fault.

3. What we really need to do is recruit taller people
so they can loom like LBJ used to do. That must have been scary.

4. I too wish that Reid had a whole lot more grit to him.
I honestly don't think the man knows how to kick ass...

Your remarks about Lyndon Johnson are spot on.

Recommended.

9. I think he has the experience, don't underestimate him
just beccause he is quiet doesn't mean he can't poison the GOP!

11. I'd like to see some evidence of that.
He looks like a wimp to me.

How do you think he looks to the Republicans?

15. He singlehandedly killed Yucca Mountain when the whole country was determined to shove their crap...
down our throats. I also believed he was ready to fight til the last dog died for a PO until Rahm showed up and ordered him to give Lieberman what he wanted.

He's my Senator and he's not as far left as I'd like but he's got most of the Blue Dogs beat by a mile.

18. So when do we get to see Reid the fighter?
If we haven't seen him yet, tell us please - what the fuck is he waiting for?

The opportune moment?

17. The problem with Nevada is NEVADA.


The whole state is like Sharron Angle.

They're ALL nuts like her there.

The whole state is a bunch of fucking fluoridation hating wack jobs.
