The Voter's "Death Panels" Coming Soon To A State Near You
The democrats presently in office will be the first lucky people to experience Obama style end of life counseling...only they are going to be experiencing the end of career counseling instead.... at the hands of the taxpayers in 2010.
First up is Harry "I hope you go out of business" Reid for his in-your-face bullying of Nevada's largest newspaper:
On Wednesday, before he addressed a Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Reid joined the chamber's board members for a meet-'n'-greet and a photo. One of the last in line was the Review-Journal's director of advertising, Bob Brown, a hard-working Nevadan who toils every day on behalf of advertisers. He has nothing to do with news coverage or the opinion pages of the Review-Journal.Yet, as Bob shook hands with our senior U.S. senator in what should have been nothing but a gracious business setting, Reid said: "I hope you go out of business."
Later, in his public speech, Reid said he wanted to let everyone know that he wants the Review-Journal to continue selling advertising because the Las Vegas Sun is delivered inside the Review-Journal.
Such behavior cannot go unchallenged.
You could call Reid's remark ugly and be right. It certainly was boorish. Asinine? That goes without saying.
But to fully capture the magnitude of Reid's remark (and to stop him from doing the same thing to others) it must be called what it was -- a full-on threat perpetrated by a bully who has forgotten that he was elected to office to protect Nevadans, not sound like he's shaking them down.

When a high profile Senator such as Harry Reid feels comfortable taking on his own state's largest newspaper, because they won't lie for him and his cronies...where do you think the average citizen stands?

harry strikes me as a joyless individual. Like the cranky old man that lives at the end of the street and shoots at squirrels with a BB gun.

Jones...that is the BEST description of Creepy Harry that I have ever read. I am still laughing, because it's so true!
Classic!

TFMo....ah, your dirty little secret is out now. Jones and I are bringing shotguns. How's that BB "gun" going to work out for you now?

I keep the BB gun next to the chainsaws and napalm.

Nope. The overwhelming power of my raw machismo will stop anyone dead in their tracks at fifty paces.
Kinda like Zoolander's "Magnum" look, only way, way cooler.
