On January 15th, I put up one against Lance Armstrong for lying thru his ass about doping and using drugs to enhance his performance.
He fooled a lot of people. Yes, I said Fuck Lance Armstrong..
Now, I may get in trouble for telling how I feel about Harry, but a lot of major legislation will never even get considered , because Harry lied about some major changes to the Senate rules on fillibuster. No major changes were made. A few minor ones, but nothing to stop the assholes from preventing votes be taken on ideas like gun control, or single payer. None..nadda.nothing.
.one asshole Senator, just one, can stop single payer from ever being considered this term So many ideas didn't get voted on last term because of the fillibuster.
That is why I use this language. Sure he is a Democrat and has done some good things. but this sucks big time, and because changes will not be made, people will die.....sorry about that, it is how I see it..Fuck Reid. He promised and did not keep his word.. He lied like Armstrong, yet I believed him. Also, If Harry had said.."well, we don't have the votes to change..we don't have 51 votes, that is one thing." If he said that, well we would know he couldn't deliver. Why didn't he tell us the truth? If he found out in December, let us know the truth. Instead as Rachel says..."another handshake with Mc Connell" You know, Mc Connell?.. the guy who said he would do everything to make Obama a one term President...you know him???
We believed he would deliver, I did, many did. How hard did he try???don't know..maybe we will find out...someday..
See post in Video and Multimedia on how Rachel proves this.

....Huh is Maddow not being truthful.... It would be a first here if someone said she wasnt being honest..
So what is your answer???
FarPoint
(12,365 posts)and bashing of democrats with that moaning, groaning and belittling tone of disgust without actually engaging in debate or discussion. That is exactly the tone and attitude of the right wing-teabagger consortium. Fox News pattern of bullying has spread....
Rachel uses tact and respect when outlining the failure.
So, there is my answer....

(6,942 posts)...for having an expectation that our elected leaders could possibly say what the mean and mean what they say.
Reid up til Wednesday said if he could not get the votes he was going to go nuclear. Reid has been saying for years he would like to change the filibuster, he had his chance and failed. He has failed on other empty threats,you know what those are so dont ask.
Some time I dont think its failure as much as it is collaboration with republicans and the fact Reid is taking big $$$ from major corporations just like the most of them.
Again my apologies if it sounds like I am bashing Reid but I think these are the types of conversations we should be happening because alot ion the Democratic party vote and talk like they are republicans and we need to get them out.

(38,427 posts)Like the national chairperson gets five hundred grand, and a good amount of the charity goes for "administrative costs"?
So, in the last election I sent what I thought was a good amount to Harry Reid, for his reelection. A good amount for me.
I guess it is the same. I am so mad at him. . Yes the language is bad, but this is bad. I have never had a post hid.
I just lose faith in this system...we all do. And get so mad some times..
.. I am glad that people understand this rage..Thanks for not getting rid of OP
I don't know what else to say..
