I'm not sure what the OP is getting at either... I LOATHE Harry Reid and call him a coward every chance I get, but what he spoke about is absolutely 100% true. Maybe his way of talking about it was ham fisted (I would have just used the generic term 'people'), but going by this I have to say I'm a bit impressed that he would even know such a thing. I can promise you that plenty of people in Congress have no idea, don't care to know and have no intention of ever doing their job on such issues either. So, kudos to Reid for at least being in touch with reality on an important issue. Now if he would just learn how to be an effective leader, he might not suck so bad.
Seriously, is Reid the biggest pussy anyone's ever seen running either chamber of Congress or what? I'm into political history a bit and honestly, I can't think of another chamber leader who was such an utter pussy at all times like Reid is.
