EDITOR OF REDSTATE

Harry Reid’s Job Review

Harry Reid is saying he had nothing to do with the 14% unemployment in Nevada.

But back in June, Reid was bragging about creating jobs.

Now Harry Reid says, “My job is to create jobs.”

So we have the Majority Leader of the United States Senate say it is his job to create jobs. The same man also says the lack of jobs is not his fault. And the state he represents in Congress has the highest unemployment in the country.

It appears Mr. Reid wants all the credit, none of the blame, and has nothing to show for all his work taking credit for something that doesn’t exist.

Looks like he should be fired.

Likewise, if it is Congress’s job to create jobs, Congress has surely failed. Maybe it is time to replace people like Reid with people like Sharron Angle who recognize Congress failed and is willing to let the private sector try creating jobs.

    Angle camp so they could make it into an ad. It could be very effective.

    Working in the third world, I run into that a lot – wanting to have the titles and perks, but none of the responsibility and always looking for someone else to blame.

    He’s been in charge of the most powerful deliberative body in the world for the last 4.5 years!

    From his “amateur boxing” days. Are there any real records on his boxing anyway? I can’t even imagine him in the ring throwing limp wristed powder puff swats. Or was the “boxing” claim something like a heroic military record of john “oh i hurt my leg” kerry?

    If harry really was a boxer I could see where he got some major screws knocked loose at a young age. I can’t wait until he is sent packing.

    The ad virtually writes itself. I was thinking about what I’d put in just such an ad just yesterday.

    But, if done correctly, an ad based on the “I had nothing to do with the massive foreclosures here [i.e. the horrible economy]” line could be extremely devastating, and could finish Reid’s reelection hopes.

    I mean, what the heck good is he to NV if he’s the friggin’ *Majority* Leader and still can’t do anything to make the economy better!?!

    Like I said, the ad virtually writes itself – the tag can be “It’s time for competence. We need new blood in Washington.”, or something like that…

    We should be able to get him talking on the record about some of the things that lead to forclosures etc.

    Nice iPhone autocompleting g’bye for me.

    It’s no big loss though that on iPhone my whiteout button erased this talking point.

    I know they will read it…along with so many others who listen to your powerful voice. Thank you, Erick.

    I can’t wait until they take that gavel away from that ding bat and kick her botoxed body out of her posh office and her aircraft benefits!

  • ihateliberals

    that he actually believes himself now. If the people of Nevada choose Reid to return to the Senate then the people of Nevada deserve to be jobless.

    We conservatives need to take both Houses of Congress for many reasons but especially one and that is it looks like Reid and Pelosi will be staying but they would not keep their post there.

    Now Harry Reid says, “My job is to create jobs.” Right reid and are job as “We the People” is to “Throw the Bums Out”.

    I pray to God that the citizens of Nevada have enough common sense to fire this weasel. I can’t stand the thought of another 6 years of him in Washington.

    ?You can smell the tourists as they enter the Capitol Building?
    Harry Reid (D-NV)

    Coming from a state that survives on tourists, Harry Reid demonstrates why he has never been very popular in Nevada.

    Harry Reid has turned out to be the most disappointing politician in Nevada history. No Nevadan has ever risen to this lever of Senatorial power: Majority Leader.

    To think ? he has used his power to help turn this country in the direction of becoming a socialist hellhole. While personally becoming a multi-millionaire and living at the top of the Ritz, literally!

    He is a Mormon, like Glenn Beck. The Mormons are generally conservative and Pro-Life.He professes to be pro-life, yet he crams through legislation providing for taxpayer funding of abortion. Millions of unborn babies will die because of Harry?the horrible?, most of them black babies.

    Harry is a despicable leftist who is helping Obama to destroy America. He has rammed legislation through the Senate against the will of the people, including Obamacare, auto and banking ?reform? that now has the government owning it all.

    Thank God we can vote him out of office on November 2nd!

  • dambama

    Sharron Angle is a great replacement for Harry.

    Any time you get a candidate who professes strong support for the Constitution they are labeled ?too conservative?, or a whacko, what BS!

    Sharron Angle is a guaranteed vote for fiscal sanity.

    Harry Reid is a guaranteed vote for more big government. Harry loves Jabba-the-Government.

    Sharron Angle is a guaranteed vote for repealing Obamacare

    Harry Reid is a guaranteed vote for more Obamacare and more government control of healthcare.

    Sharron Angle is a guaranteed NO vote for higher taxes.

    Harry Reid is a guaranteed YES vote for the biggest TAX HIKE in history.

    Sharron Angle is a guaranteed NO vote on ?Cap and Trade?.

    Harry Reid is a guaranteed YES vote for ?Cap and Trade?, and Harry fights all energy development in America.

    Any one who cannot openly support Sharron Angle, knowing the above, is a democrat of the leftist persuasion.

    Anyone who votes for Harry Reid or ?none of the above? is voting to continue on this path of economic destruction.

    Even with all his power, and his ability to cut in line at the Pork Parade in Washington, Harry is no good for Nevada because he is no good for America.

  • dambama

    Harry has two good pals in the Congress who vote nearly 99% with Pelosi and Reid. Dina Titus and Shelley Berkley are big leftist democrats who must go in November.

    Dina’s Republican opponent is a Conservative, and a Medical Doctor who spends his free time in the Army Reserve.

    He needs help against University Perfesser Dina “Taxus” Titus. Please go to his website: http://heckfornevada.com/homepage

    Dr. Joe Heck can beat Taxus Titus.

    I do not know about Ken Wegner against Shelly Bezerkely.

    Here is his website. Please help him if you can: http://www.kennethwegner08.com/

  • dambama

    I copied the wrong site, This is Kens site: http://wegnerforcongress.com/

    When I said I wasn’t sure about Ken against Bezerkly I was not expressing doubt about Ken. It is just that Bezerkely’s district might as well be Berkley California. It is like … 99% democrat.

    This morning on Red State, they were talking about how the Radical Muslims through Violence and Threats of Violence have Cowed Us Down Once Again. This is the same thing they have done in France, Denmark, Germany, England and other European nations, and now they are bringing Their Radical Threats of Violence and Acts of Violence To America. The following are my comments to this: Thanks–Jerome

    “So folks, welcome to the Kinder, Gentler America since we elected a president who is revered by Radical Muslims the world over, revered by Communist Dicatators the world over, revered by the Russians because he took down the nuclear shield that was in place in Eastern Europe as a reminder to the Empire Building Russians that they better not dare invade their neighbors.

    Now, we are going to go the way of France and England and other European Nations where they have allowed Muslims and Their Sharia Laws to supplant their civil laws. Where Rule is By Violence or Threats of Violence.
    Is it not pathetic that if you threaten to punch your next door neighbor in the nose that your neighbor can go and file a charge against you and you will be arrested for making terroristic threats, but if you are a Terrorist Religious Cult, you can Threaten To Murder American Citizens, and our government Does Absolutely Nothing, and in fact appeases the Radical Muslims.

    The Muslims have basically laid down the gauntlet that says: “If any American or Anybody Else dare Offend Us, We Will Terrorize You.” And, what is really sickening about this is the fact that our own government and mainstream media is on the side of the Radical Muslims, and will use all the power of the U.S. Govenrnment and All the Power Of The Mainstream Media to Squash Anybody or Any Group that dares challenge them.

    Welcome Folks to the New United Fascist States Of America. Fascism defined means “No opposition allowed.” This, my friends, is what our government has just told us. Also, look at what they are doing to Arizona and other States Who Dare Defend the Legitimate Laws of the Land.

    Better wake up folks and rally Conservative Voters on November 2, 2010. At the rate the Obama-Pelosi Regime Dictatorship is moving, there may never be any elections ever again. If they will not tolerate basic First Amendment Rights of Speech and Expression, how long do you think they will tolertate the rest of the Bill of Rights and the U.S. Constitution, which one of the Communists in the Congress, Al Cee Hastings recently said when he was asked about the constitutionality of the Socialized Medicine Bill which they call Obama Care, Hastings replied: “What, the Constitution?? WE, The U.S. Congress do not care anything about the Constituton.” Al Cee Hastings was speaking for All of Congress and the President of the USA.

    If you care about your freedoms and you do care about the Constitution, you need to get Out The Vote and Take America Back, and Totally Ignore the Mainstream Media, because they have just shown us how far they will go to Aid and Abet Our Enemies while Squashing A U.S. Citizen who dares express his Displeasure with Islam and With This Government and the Obama Regime. That little preacher in Florida had 50 members. Who would have ever heard of this guy had it not Been for The Mainstream Media and Our own Government Who Made it An International Event. Whose Side Is Our Government On?? Whose Side is our Mainstream Media on??? If you have been paying any attention at all at what is going on in America, you already know the answer to this question. Thanks—Jerome Ennis
