Who wants to get in line behind me and B**ch slap Harry Reid?

First, for those who don't know me on here, I am a Democrat, I voted for Obama, and MOST Democrats on my ticket (not all though) I read yesterday that one of the reasons the Auto bailout didn't work was because Harry Reid tried to slide a Pay raise for Federal judges in with the Bailout bill. HOW F'NG irresponsible is that? We have, by some estimates, 3 million jobs hanging in the balance and our economy is the worst it has been in 35 years. And Harry Reid picks this bill at this time to slide a pay raise for Federal Judges? ARE YOU FRIGGING SERIOUS? At one of the toughest times in our country, with 534,000 jobs last month - he slides a bill in to give people raises and kills a bill that would secure the jobs of 3 million others. What are your thoughts on this?

Update:

Open4One - your condecension appals me..as for your post -

the War in Iraq: Failed and Cherry Picked Intelligence is why we are there. the economy the Mortgage crisis and the loss of 2 million jobs didn't help- the mortgage crisis: Deregulation of The Industry, Shady loan practicies and Irresponsible Public taking loans they couldn't afford,domestic oil companies not being allowed to drill offshore close to the US in the exact same places where the Chinese already ARE drilling: The Ban on Offshore drilling that Reagan put in Place was allowed to pass and expire by the democrats, the Oil COmpanies don't want to drill ebcause it would cost them money - they are playing us all for fools. and bailouts for companies that can't afford to pay workers $70 per hour, because you don't get it. - I work in a Non-Union Manufacturing plant - I've seen the bad side of Unions also - but it doesn't mean we leave the 3 million out in the cold - that would be the last nail in the coffin.

    Stupid, yes, but not the reason it failed. THe Republican leadership has declared war on the working class, and is going to make matter as hard as possible on the incoming administration. The right had decided to kill the bill anyway...they had been speaking on it for a week now. Reid should be ***** slapped for sure, and the Republican leadership SHOT!!

    Of course you're a Democrat.

    Otherwise, it would be surprising that you fail to see the humor in the situation.

    I shall explain it to you.

    Regardless of the state of the Economy overall, regardless of the "emergency" that the automakers and their employees find themselves in, and regardless of whether the Bill that just failed is considered a gift, a loan, or a purchase of equity, the irrefutable fact is that it is wholly UnConstitutional. If you doubt me, find the authority and cite the passage of the Constitution that allows it.

    However, the question of compensation for Federal Judges is very clearly the responsibility of Congress under the Constitution.

    If the bailout failed because of Judges' salaries, that means that their attempt to do something Unconstitutional had failed due to also attempting to do something Constitutional. Can you not see the irony?

    So, here you are, whining that you aren't getting your bailout, because the very people you depend upon to push the Liberal agenda in the courts aren't going to get a raise.

    Of course you're a Democrat. That's why you haven't a clue what I'm talking about.

    That's what makes it funny.

    Your thumbs-down will make it funny, too.

    The fact is, we are where we are, with the War in Iraq, and the economy, the mortgage crisis, domestic oil companies not being allowed to drill offshore close to the US in the exact same places where the Chinese already ARE drilling, and bailouts for companies that can't afford to pay workers $70 per hour, because you don't get it.

    Thumbs-down if you still don't get it, and don't want to get it.

    It is the reason why there should not be these kinds of amendments to a bill.

    Reid is doing what Pelosi did to kill the legislation on drilling along the coast.

    If you make the added amendments too easy to spot, then the bill dies.

    Hide it well, and make the case that this legislation is essential, well, you might get away with something slick.

    It is good that this was caught, but it should never happen.

    What on god's green earth does judges salaries have to do with the auto crisis?

  • The two party government is a myth that keeps this nation divided. (Divide and conquer). It's about the overall government having different means and ways to bring about,( :by manipulation:a common goal of a small group of people,) the North American Union and New World Order. The Prez allowed himself to go along with this agenda.

    If what you say is true, then it just proves what I've said for a long time. The biggest problem Democrats have is the lack of adult leadership. They get too easily side tracked onto minor issues that constantly causes more problems than what they are supposed to be fixing.

    The hog stampede has started and Harry Reid is riding the head pig.

    I hate pork spending!

    B**ch slapping Reid is too good for him. He needs his a frontal lobe severence.

    That's not accurate. Yes, they initially tried to sneak that in but the Democrats eventually agreed to drop that provision, so that has nothing to do with the bill's defeat. Nice try, though.

    Reid and Pelosi along with Dean need to be GONE. I don't know what it will take for them to hear that up there.

    I would be satisfied if the good people of Nevada would simply elect a different Senator.
