Harry Reid, still pretty much a badass.
The new Republican majority in the Senate is whining about Harry Reid being a bully as much as they did when they were in the minority. He just makes them so darned mad!
The new Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, wanted to initiate a lengthy floor debate on a House-passed Department of Homeland Security funding bill. But Reid surprised Republicans by rallying his caucus on four separate occasions to block the measure from even coming forward—demanding McConnell drop contentious immigration provisions. After a month of inaction in the Senate and up against Friday's funding deadline, McConnell ultimately bent to Reid’s demands.
As House Republicans have called for formal negotiations on the Senate's "clean" DHS funding bill, Reid has sent a blunt message across the Capitol: Take it or leave it. Most believe the House will ultimately take it.
That's not all: As McConnell is pushing for a new plan to thwart Obama's executive actions on immigration, Reid and his leadership team are warning they will prevent the matter from even coming to a debate before Congress funds the DHS. And even after Reid eventually agrees to debate the Republican plan on immigration, Democratic leaders are plotting a series of politically charged amendments that could put vulnerable Republicans and potential presidential candidates in tough spots. They will then try to filibuster the Republican bill to death.
"He is controlling the agenda," Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.) said of Reid. "And he probably will control the agenda if we don"t change the rules."
okay let's look at that last sentence, they can't legally obstruct him so they go to their A plan re-write the rules whenever they can't cheat or lie their way into their agenda they seek to change everything to go their way and that my friends is nothing more than charlatan politics, they again threaten to close gov't but this time it's the part they have been so gung ho about funding and their military industrial complex which keeps us up to our necks in don't need don't use rusting weapons of destruction. amazing how they can see so much in their words obstruction from us but saw nothing for 6 years of their own. well all i can say is "GIVE 'EM HELL HARRY" before they kill our defenses.
