Looks like Harry Reid is getting ready to snatch defeat from the jaws of near-victory.
The Senate Democratic leader indicated Tuesday that lawmakers may not complete health care legislation this year, missing President Barack Obama’s deadline on his signature issue and pushing debate into a congressional election year.
With just eight weeks left, the Senate is running [...]

Harry Reid is “leaning” to support the public option in the health care bill. Of course its far past time for he and the president to quit “leaning” towards things and crap if they’re gonna crap.
The clock is ticking.
Harry Reid Can’t Ever Seem To Do His Job Right

This is a continued embarrasment. God willing we can get the actual health care bill passed, but the Reid track record does not make me optimistic. Its as if Harry Reid is a simple spectator in the stands rather than – theoretically – a major player in the game.

At best I feel we can hope for epic failure.
A week ago, Reid called a compromise idea to delay the public option decision for several years a ‘pretty doggone good idea.’ By midweek, his top lieutenants adamantly pushed for the public option approved earlier by the health committee, forcing the leader to backtrack. ‘We are [...]

Heck of a job on the waste of time and money, Max.
For the moment, at least, Max Baucus has come up short.
Mr. Baucus, the Montana Democrat and chairman of the Senate Finance Committee who has led a months-long effort to develop bipartisan legislation to overhaul the nation’s health care system, is expected to unveil his [...]

What a mistake this guy is.
Q: How will U.S. Sen. (Edward) Kennedy’s death affect things?
A: I think it’s going to help us. He hasn’t been around for some time. We’re going to have a new chairman of that committee, it’ll be, I don’t know for sure, but I think Sen. (Chris) Dodd (D-Conn.). He has [...]

Words indicate that the very flaccid majority “leader” is not down with the public option.
Again I ask, why bother with a majority if this is what we get?
Obama Approval

Clearly President Obama has dropped a bit in the approval polls, but I don’t see it as anything to worry about. I frankly lay more of the blame for this at the feet of Sen. Reid and Sen. Baucus whose dithering has caused the delay in passage of health care reform. If there’s any fault [...]
The Limp Leader Reid

Harry Reid is such a failure. Everything about him reads concede, retry, and fold. Who knew I would be longing for the comparatively bold leadership of Tom Daschle? And compared to strong Senate leaders of the past like LBJ? Reid will be lucky to win his seat back.
At least then we can elect a new [...]
Max Baucus Screws Americans Over For “Bipartisanship”

Baucus to uninsured Americans: suck it up, losers.
After weeks of secretive talks, a bipartisan group in the Senate edged closer Monday to a health care compromise that omits a requirement for businesses to offer coverage to their workers and lacks a government insurance option that President Barack Obama favors, according to numerous officials.
Like bills drafted [...]

Rep. Chris Van Hollen:
‘What concerns me about what’s happened in the Senate Finance Committee is that they’ve had a whole lot of time to work these things out, and just don’t seem to be able to break the impasse,’ Van Hollen said in an interview on the liberal Bill Press Radio Show. ‘It doesn’t seem [...]

That is the number for Sen. Harry Reid’s office. If you were to call it you could ask the majority leader of the United States senate to take the 60 votes in his caucus and make a vote on some health care for the 300 million of us before he goes off for summer vacation.

You’ve got to think that every time Harry Reid leaves a meeting with Republicans they laugh hysterically.
“‘The Republicans have asked for more time, and I don’t think it’s unreasonable,’ Reid said at a noon press conference.”
Hitler just wants Austria. That’s all. He’s promised not to do any more than that.

Harry Reid is a joke. A laughable, sick joke that is allowing Americans to have a substandard way of life.
Democratic divisions in Congress stalled President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul Thursday, with Majority Leader Harry Reid now saying that the Senate will not pass a reform bill before the August recess.
Reid told reporters Thursday the [...]

Hey Harry Reid, how about you take some control in the freaking senate, quit letting Max Baucus dick around and get us to a vote on health care reform.
You know, if you weren’t busy doing anything (like voting to increase the spread of guns).

Remind me again why this man is even in the senate, let alone leading the Democrats?
The latest measure, offered by Sen. John Thune (R-S.D.), has far greater reach. Offered Monday as an amendment to the defense authorization bill, it would allow people to carry concealed firearms across state lines, provided they ‘have a valid [...]

I sure hope so.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Tuesday ordered Finance Chairman Max Baucus (D-Mont.) to drop a proposal to tax health benefits and stop chasing Republican votes on a massive health care reform bill.

According to Democratic sources, Reid told Baucus that taxing health benefits and failing to include a strong government-run insurance [...]

And until the Democrats get a new leader in the senate who isn’t compromised up to his eyeballs in right wing noise, we won’t be able to pass our agenda without it being seriously watered down. We need a majority leader from a strongly blue state who isn’t afraid to bust some toes.
