Harry Reid: Clinton's Iran Comment Is "Not The American Way"
2008-05-07 23:07:00 HARRY REID: Well, I am certainly doing my best not to take sides in this presidential thing. But I think that flexing our muscles, threatening people, threatening countries, is not the American way. We have -- as President Roosevelt, Theodore Roosevelt said, "speak softly, carry a big stick." Words to that effect. And that's what I think we should do. Speak softly, make sure that people know that we can react if we have to, but let's not go around threatening people. Yep, from good old Harry Reid. The same guy who said "the war in Iraq is lost". As much as I hate to defend Hillary, she was asked about a nuclear attack from Iran against the Israeli's. She responded that we would indeed help our allies in that time of need. I guess helping allies isn't "the American way" according to Harry, but then again, this is the same guy who backs down from any threat known to man, and I don't think he even understands what "the American way" really means. So, in the...
David Petraeus Nominated to Head CENTCOM
2008-04-23 23:36:00 Today, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced the appointment of David Petraeus to head the U.S. Central Command.In 2007 Petraeus was appointed as Commanding General of the Multinational Force in Iraq, overseeing the "surge." Through his tenure, military and Iraqi casualties have dramatically fallen, but anti-war sentiments at home remain high.It is unlikely there will be opposition to his nomination, but it will be interesting to see the reactions of Democrats as a vote for Patraeus can be seen as a vote secondary vote supporting the current course in Iraq. I for one approve of this appointment.On a political note, Republicans see Patraeus as a possible candidate for President in 2012 if McCain does not win or if he does not seek a second term. It is unclear to me if Patraeus is a Democrat or Republican.Here are some reactions.From Senator Harry Reid:"The next Centcom commander and field commander in Iraq will have to help the next president with a number of critically importa...
Harry Reid Wants $45,000,000 for MagLev Train to Disneyland
2008-04-21 10:36:00 While Nevada faces “a multi-billion shortfall in basic highway, bus and other transportation needs,” Harry Reid is earmarking $45 million dollars for a train to Disneyland: Start talking about magnetic levitation trains and people quickly fall into two categories: dreamy-eyed futurists whose eyes widen with the promise of 300 mph travel or dismissive cynics who see the next boondoggle heading down the track. When it comes to building a maglev train between Las Vegas and Southern California, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has remained a believer. This week, he is risking the wrath of the Senate anti-pork czars to secure $45 million to push the train project along. Who wouldn’t want a 300 mile per hour train in Southern California? So what reason does land baron Harry Reid give for this train to So Cal? Pure show: ?If it?s going to be really done in a big way, a Las Vegas way, the magnetic levitation would be the way to do it,? Reid said. ?We could bring someone...

Good Reads: Long Road Ahead For Democrats
2008-03-26 20:45:00 David Brooks: The Long DefeatHillary Clinton may not realize it yet, but she?s just endured one of the worst weeks of her campaign.First, Barack Obama weathered the Reverend Jeremiah Wright affair without serious damage to his nomination prospects. Obama still holds a tiny lead among Democrats nationally in the Gallup tracking poll, just as he did before this whole affair blew up. Second, Obama?s lawyers successfully prevented re-votes in Florida and Michigan. That means it would be virtually impossible for Clinton to take a lead in either elected delegates or total primary votes. Third, as Noam Scheiber of The New Republic has reported, most superdelegates have accepted Nancy Pelosi?s judgment that the winner of the elected delegates should get the nomination. Instead of lining up behind Clinton, they?re drifting away. Her lead among them has shrunk by about 60 in the past month, according to Avi Zenilman of Politico.com.In short, Hillary Clinton?s presidential prospects continue t...

Harry Reid To The Jobless: Drop Dead
2008-02-08 18:04:00 Sorry, Mr. Majority Leader, that more people looking for work weren?t able to lobby you or other members of the Senate to communicate that you should have fought harder for that 13-week extension of unemployment benefits that (according to the New York Times from here) the Repugs opposed because it would ?encourage idleness? (as noted here, the economic stimulus passed, but with that notable exception ? and for the moment, I?ll disregard that sickening Repug excuse).But see, that?s the point, Mr. Majority Leader; unemployed people can?t do that stuff because they?re looking for work! Perhaps in their naiveté, they expect the Democratic Party to look out for them.And as noted here, the actual vote in favor of passing the stimulus was 59-41 before Reid changed his vote to No in some kind of ?parliamentary maneuver? (don?t ask me for an explanation). And I?ll give you three guesses as to which presidential candidate could have voted Yes to ensure the benefits extension but blew off the...
Presidential Notes: The Race Rolls On
2008-01-14 22:04:00 Endorsements Roll In For ObamaSince his victory in Iowa earlier this month, Barack Obama has been attracting high profile endorsements from across the country. His biggest catch is likely the support of John Kerry, the 2004 Democratic nominee. As with most endorsements, Kerry's backing isn't likely to move many votes, but it is symbolic of the fact that the establishment of the Democratic Party is warming up to the idea of Obama as a nominee. Kerry also brings a massive donor list, though the significance of that list has probably been overstated since news of the endorsement broke--most of those donors are likely already supporting a candidate. Overlooked somewhat, is that Kerry may help Obama carry Massachusetts, one of the many states to hold a primary on February 5.Obama has also brought in endorsements from Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill, Nebraska Senator Ben Nelson, South Dakota Senator Tim Johnson, and Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano. All come from states carried ...

Yet another power play
2007-12-29 17:37:00 This is yet just another tyrannical power play by the Bush/Cheney cabal.In Surprise Step, Bush Is Vetoing a Military Bill CRAWFORD, Tex. ? For months President Bush harangued Democrats in Congress for not moving quickly enough to support the troops and for bogging down military bills with unrelated issues.And then on Friday, with no warning, a vacationing Mr. Bush announced that he was vetoing a sweeping military policy bill because of an obscure provision that could expose Iraq?s new government to billions of dollars in legal claims dating to Saddam Hussein?s rule.[....]In a ?statement of disapproval,? or pocket veto that lets the bill expire on Dec. 31, Mr. Bush said that the provision could result in preliminary injunctions freezing Iraqi assets in American banks ? $20 billion to $30 billion, according to a senior administration official ? and even affect commercial ventures with American businesses.Of course The New York Times fails to mention that since the Senate is officially...

Harry Reid Blames Everyone but Himself and the Massive Government
2007-12-19 13:26:00 Harry Reid has been a complete failure as Senate Majority Leader. Everything the Dems have tried to push in the Senate has been blocked by Republicans. He wants the American people to see this not as a battle of free market v. socialism, but of the Republicans and big business against the American people. See, for a liberal like Harry Reid, big business is evil. They take advantage of the people of America and rip them off. He sees the failure of the Democrats in this last year not as a win for Republicans. No, that would not do. He, as a good liberal, has to continue to pimp the class warfare card. “Who’s winning?” Reid asked a group of reporters. “Big Oil, Big Tobacco. … The American people are losing.” See, if the people hear the terms Big Oil and Big Tobacco, they see fat cat suits lighting cigars with $100 bills, laughing at the common man who they are taking advantage of. And this can lessen the impact of being a failure, because it d...
Harry Reid doesn?t like the new McCain ad
2007-12-18 22:20:00 Presidential candidate John McCain took to South Carolina radio Monday with a 60-second campaign spot in which his strongest South Carolina supporter Sen. Lindsey Graham blasts Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid for bailing on the Iraq War. And now, Reid is blasting back. ?While I understand that Senator McCain is doing everything he can to breathe life into his presidential campaign, these kinds of attacks ? and his consistent support of a failed strategy that has kept our troops mired in an endless civil war ? will only further undermine his credibility with voters,? Reid said in a statement. ?Democrats have given the troops a pay raise, increased funding for veterans and most importantly have fought to give our soldiers what they deserve ? a strategy for success. We will continue to challenge Bush Republicans like Senator McCain who push a failed war strategy that makes us less secure at home and weakens us abroad.? It?s not clear what about McCain?s advertisement Reid considers ...
A bad day for al-Qaeda
2007-12-18 07:06:00 If bin-Laden and al-Qaeda really hate us because of our freedoms they had a bad day today.Democrats Delay a Vote on Immunity for Wiretaps WASHINGTON ? In a setback for the White House, Senate Democrats on Monday put off until at least next month any decision on whether to give legal protection to the phone carriers that helped with the National Security Agency?s eavesdropping program.The Bush administration had pushed for immediate passage of legislation to grant immunity to the phone companies as part of a broader expansion of the N.S.A.?s wiretapping authorities. But that will not happen now.After daylong debate in the Senate on the wiretapping issue, Senator Harry Reid of Nevada, the majority leader, announced at the end of the day that there would not be time to consider the legislation this week as he had hoped. With a dozen competing amendments on the issue and an omnibus spending bill separately awaiting consideration, Mr. Reid said he believed it would be difficult to give t...

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid hates America and freedom
2007-12-14 20:51:00 Hyperbolic? Perhaps. But that’s the only conclusion I could come to after reading this morning that Reid is planning an end-run around Chris Dodd’s threat to filibuster any FISA legislation that contains immunity for telecom companies that participated in the NSA spying program. Glenn Greenwald, as always, has all the nasty details. More from Lambert at Correntewire and Matt Stoller. It’s been a while since I’ve posted about this, so here’s a reminder of why preventing telecom immunity is important. And Chris Dodd’s campaign has tips on what you can do to support the filibuster. I used to support Harry Reid during the darkest days of GOP domination of Congress in the Bush era. He demonstrated gumption and courage when necessary. I don’t know what happened to that man, but this guy is no friend to progressives, the Constitution, or his own party. In one fell swoop, he is enabling the Republican party agenda of protection for corporate malfea...

Clinton statement on NIE report is an exercise in double-dealing misdirecti
2007-12-04 18:58:00 As noted yesterday, a new national intelligence report has caught the Bush White House in yet another round of warmongering lies. No real surprise there. The revelation elicited a range of replies from a variety of predictably interested parties. John Edwards opted for flat honesty: The new National Intelligence Estimate shows that George Bush and Dick Cheney’s rush to war with Iran is, in fact, a rush to war. The new NIE finds that Iran halted its nuclear weapons program in 2003 and that Iran can be dissuaded from pursuing a nuclear weapon through diplomacy. This is exactly the reason that we must avoid radical steps like the Kyl-Lieberman bill declaring Iran’s Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization, which needlessly took us closer to war. And it?s why I have proposed that we pursue a comprehensive diplomatic approach instead. Obama treads a little lightly for my taste, but his point is nonetheless apt: By reporting that Iran halted its nuclear weapon development ...

Ron Paul: Though talk of Ron Paul was banned (for new users, at least) on the prominent conservative website Redstate this week, we're guessing that it garnered the campaign more attention than it would have otherwise gotten and provided more fuel for his passionate supporters. Paul has been stockpiling campaign cash for much of the year and the campaign is beginning to put it to good use. Five new ads will be airing in New Hampshire over the next several weeks--see the first two here.? Mike Huckabee: The former Arkansas governor received a lot of positive buzz this week (and the corresponding response from several anti-Huckabee fiscal conservatives).
