Get Rid of Reid

Share
Harry Reid says he is not responsible for the problems of this nation. Oh yeah? Then who is? George Bush? Reid has been in Congress for 28 years and in politics since before I was born. If he had any good ideas he would have already applied them.

Politicians have villified Big Oil, Big Pharma, and Big Business in general. They take credit for all the good things and wash their hands of all the bad things, even if they had nothing to do with the former or everything to do with the latter. One of their heroes, Theodore Roosevelt, accurately said, "The blame will lie upon the men whose names appear upon the roll-calls of Congress on the wrong side of these great questions." Look at the voting records in Congress. They are the ones who pass the laws. They are the ones who are responsible.

Reid likes to blame Angle for things when Angle hasn't even been in elected office for the last two years. Reid assaults Angle for her position on Social Security. In reality, the blame is on those who refuse to remedy those evils long in advance of the day when the bill comes due. Reid assaults Angle saying she will gut Medicaire. With the passage of Obamacare, Reid has already done that. With rates scheduled to be cut 30%, no doctors will take new Medicaire patients, a decision in which Angle had no say. While they pat themselves on the back for it, they cut back its funding, all while promising we'll all be covered but never that we'll actually get treated.

Nevada leads the nation in every negative indicator and trails the nation in every positive one. If you like that, then by all means reelect Harry Reid. If Bush is responsible for problems, then so is Reid because the President cannot sign any bill unless it first passes the Congress. The best way to stop bad treatment is to remove the people who made the decisions from positions that empower them to create malignancies in your life.

Consider how the incumbent has made use of your time and money. If we elect Reid, he will assume he has a mandate, that we accept, not just tolerate, the things he has inflicted upon us. You may not like Angle, but the best way to send a message to the elites in either party is to vote for their opponents when they are grossly negligent of the responsibilities of elected office. You might not like Angle, but Reid openly mocks the things in which many of you believe. Of course, Angle is too extreme, but Reid is never too liberal.

Ask yourself if you're better off today than you were last time Reid was reelected. He has been senate majority leader for two years. that's plenty of time to get things done that will fix our problems, if politicians can actually do that simply by passing laws. It's as if simply by passage of a law, we'll all suddenly prosper magically.

Get rid of Reid. Otherwise, the rest of Theodore Roosevelt's criticism will be true and "upon you and the people of this country will lie the blame if you do not repudiate what these men have done." Remember that Harry Reid helped create the economy and that no amount of money spent on advertising to the contrary can change the facts.
