Reid's Rules Scheme to Rewrite Defeat

Reid Will Open January Senate Session With a Power Grab Attempt

 By Jerry McConnell  Sunday, January 2, 2011

If American citizens needed more proof that Harry Reid, the scumbag
Senator of the once-proud state of Nevada, but which now should hang its
collective head for voting Reid back into the United States Senate, his
latest nasty venture for unbridled power should provide that validation.


Not satisfied that he got the Lame Duck Congress to pass more
“gawd-awful” legislation such as Don’t Ask -Don’t Tell authorization to
turn our mighty military forces into “wusses-in-boots” and the START
Treaty that makes the world’s strongest country’s arsenal look more like
a third world tin-hat dictatorship where the bow and arrow will be its
most formidable weapon, he wants even more. 

Those two pieces of woe-begone terrible laws alone should be enough for
Obama to convince the corrupt rulers of the United Nations, George Soros
and the Bilderberg Group, that we are more ready than ever for a
takeover. 

Imagine our frontline forces armed with perfume sodden hankies and
wearing pink tams; our Green Berets replaced by the Pink Tams; our
Leathernecks replaced by silky neck scarves, and you have an idea of the
fearless assault our troops will wreak on an unsuspecting enemy,
providing that country is the size of Liechtenstein. 

Getting back to the horror show that Majority Leader Reid is planning to
conduct by gathering his forces when first they formally meet early in
January for organizational purposes. 

Human Events.com writer Emily Miller published an article in that forum
on December 29, 2010 titled, “Reid’s Rules Scheme to Rewrite Defeat”
stating, “The Democrats are trying to change the Senate rules so that
they can ram through their agenda when their majority shrinks next week
from 59 to 53 seats.”

Miller continued, “Democrats lost the election. Their power has been
weakened significantly. So they are trying to do a Washington-insider
tactic to try to grab power, even though the voters told them very
clearly in the election that they didn’t like them, and didn’t like their
policies,” said a Republican Senate aide.

“If Reid endorses the rules change, it would be the first time in history
that a Majority Leader has opted to cut off debate on a Senate rules
change by a majority vote,” said Marty Gold, a long-time Senate
leadership aide and now an attorney at Covington and Burling.

In the last months of the 111th Congress, Reid operated with a 59 to 41
vote majority but his lack of success in producing valid law making
legislation made him look like a blundering buffoon on many
occasions.  The Republican minority allowed only those measures that
their own party turncoat RINO’s provided to the liberal Democrats by
siding with them instead of their more conservative fellow
GOP’ers.

But the November 2010 elections dealt severe punishment to Reid and the
socialist-liberal Democrats by reducing his numbers of co-conspirators in
the game of Marxist-sizing America.  Even worse, the voters also
defeated a number of Reid’s RINO Republicans who went against the now
even more conservative minded American country. 

There are still a few RINO Republicans that can help keep Reid afloat in
the sea of conservatism that is beginning to pervade the Congress; but
the 2012 elections will be upon us very quickly and the likes of Lugar,
Hatch, Snowe, and Brown and others may also disappear from the political
scene. 

Election year 2012 could also be a year of exodus for several now serving
liberal Democrat Senators who have repeatedly voted against the public’s
wishes over the past few years.  But these individuals may not be
entirely supportive of Harry Reid’s attempts to build a base for himself
with his radical revisionist socialistic power grabs.

Reid does have the backing of Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Senator
Tom Udall (D-NM) both of whom have worked to draft the rules changes that
Reid is planning to present to have adopted at the early January
organizational meetings. 

Clearly this bold and rambunctious power grab by Reid and his fellow
socialistic Assistant Schumer will be met with extreme negativity by the
Republicans in the Senate; and could be considered as a rallying point
for the 2012 elections to gain more disaffected and disgruntled normal
Democrats who are dismayed with the heavily socialistic flavor of the new
Democratic party theme.

Reid will be treading on thin ice in the next two years and his party
could easily reject his ineffective leadership as early as January if his
bold and hungry bid for more power fails. 

Year 2011 is going to be a very interesting political year.  Stay
tuned.
