...otherwise, what good does it do? I don't know how Harry Reid can stand up and look in a camera lens and whine. Or how he can look at any Senate Democrat in the eye. I have no respect for Harry Reid anymore. And I feel so sorry for Sens Warren and Brown. Two wonderful Senators who would love to get something done, but can't because Harry didn't do what he had promised to do for so long. He gave everyone false hope for so long and then went back on his word.
