PEOPLE OF NEVADA…THANK YOU, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!!

"Dingy" Harry Reid

First of all I would very much like to take this opportunity to thank all of those wonderfully brain dead folks who reside in Nevada for once more saddling us with this poster boy for the politically corrupt, coming to us in the person of "Dingy" Harry Reid. Thank you for putting the rest of us in the position of having to endure this crook for yet another 6 long years. I can only assume that all of those folks out there in Nevada either aren't all that bright or that for some reason that I fail to understand, they are just so thrilled with their current 14.3 percent unemployment rate, that they wish to put this moron in the position of being able to bring about the same benefits upon the rest of the country. And it must be that those 137,000 citizens of Las Vegas who presently find themselves without a job are equally thrilled with the performance of good old "Dingy." That's the only reason I can possibly think of regarding why anyone would choose to vote for a such a pathetic piece of dog squeeze as Reid. Personally, under those circumstances, I'd be more than a little embarrassed to say that this man is one of my Senators and even more so to proclaim that I voted for his dumb ass. But hey, as they say, it is what it is. And so it was that we recently saw old "Dingy" doing what his constituents, apparently, sent him to Washington to do, as he recent came out and to wage a vigorous, albeit rather nonsensical, defense of earmarks, taking swipes at both Barry "Almighty" as well as the Senate Republicans on the issue.

"Dingy" has continued to demonstrate no hesitation in repeatedly showing his true colors over the course of the last two years, just as he initially showed himself to be in no mood to back off from his supporting the $1.1 Trillion omnibus spending bill that was until very recently before Congress, complete with its 6700 earmarks at a cost of over $8 Billion to the taxpayer. "I can't accept the fact that people are saying, 'Why should we vote for this?' It's got congressionally directed spending in it," Reid said at a press conference. "That's our job. That's what we're supposed to do." So let me see if I've got this right, according to "Dingy" the ripping off American taxpayers is what "Dingy" sees as being his job and is what the imbeciles who voted for him expect him to do. I dunno, is it me or is maybe this country a little further into the toilet that even I thought. I am slowly losing confidence that we're ever going to be to recover from this thing know as the "Obama Presidency." The energy being put forth by "Dingy" in his blatant attempts to assist Barry wherever and whenever possible to destroy our country would be reason enough for me not to vote for no matter what my political affiliation. My country will always come before the political fortunes of any crooked politician. By obviously, everyone doesn't think like me, at least not that many from Nevada. This guy continues to be such a fraud, it never ceases to amaze me how such a low life as this could garner enough votes for dog catcher, let alone Senator.


It was just earlier this week that "Dingy" said, in the best blustery and pompous manner he could muster up, that he wasn't about to let the White House "steal power that we've been granted in the Constitution." Ok now "Dingy," let's get a grip here and try to reel in the rhetoric here. I've read the Constitution a time or two, and I can't for the life of me recall where I might have read the part that states that the role of those in Congress is to rob the people blind for not other reason than for their own political benefit or gain. "Dingy" went on to say that, "I am convinced that I do not want to give up more power to the White House, whether it's George Bush or Barack Obama." Ya know, this would be funny if it weren't so sad. And more than just a little scary. Experiencing again, one of his very frequent bouts of incoherency, "Dingy" lashed out at Republicans who haven't requested that their earmarks be stripped from the omnibus. "As was learned yesterday, some of the people who speak out against congressionally directed spending, or 'earmarks,' are people who have more earmarks than others," he said. Hold on there "Dingy," instead of trying to cloud the issue here with your normal attempt at BS, let's be honest here for a change. "Dingy" is desperate in his attempt to portray an image where after months of self-righteous rhetoric about fiscal discipline, Republicans and Democrats remain equal-opportunity earmarkers.” However, much to the chagrin of the Democrats, such is not quite the case. There are any number of federal spending watchdogs, Taxpayers for Common Sense, WashingtonWatch.com and Taxpayers Against Earmarks to name only three, have taken the time to count the total number of requests in the 2011 budget. Care to guess what they found out? Well according to these groups the House Democrats requested 18,189 earmarks cost the taxpayers and grand total of $51.7 Billion. Meanwhile, the House Republicans requested 241 earmarks at a cost of $1 Billion to the taxpayers. And just a note here about those Republican earmarks. They were generated by only four Republicans. Out of that four, one did not run for re-election, one lost his bid for re-election, another who considers himself somewhat of a maverick and the last one is one of the most liberal Republicans in the House. The other 174 Republican members of the House requested a grand total of …… zero earmarks. In the Senate Democrats requested 15,133 earmarks costing $54.9 Billion with Republicans requesting 5,352 costing $22 Billion. “Dingy” can’t argue with facts.


So after wrestling with, and now finally abandoning, this 1,900-page behemoth of a catch-all spending bill, complete with its more than $8 billion in pork, Senate leaders will now need to come up with a more rational measure to keep the almighty federal government running into early next year. McConnell did propose a single page measure on Thursday that would keep the government running at current funding levels through February 18, but that apparently didn't go over all that well. It's by that time that the Republicans will have taken over the House and bolstered their numbers in the Senate, which conceivably give them greater leverage in their attempt to force spending cuts. Republican leader McConnell had thrown his weight against the bill in recent days, saying it was "unbelievable" that Democrats would try to muscle through in the final days of this Congress, legislation that usually takes months to debate before arriving at a vote. "Just a few weeks after the voters told us they don't want us rushing major pieces of complicated, costly, far-reaching legislation through Congress, we get this," McConnell said. "This is no way to legislate." The $1.27 trillion catchall bill wraps together 12 bills - blending $1.1 trillion for the operating budgets of every federal agency with an infusion of funding to carry the war in Afghanistan into its 10th year into yet another single foot-tall, roughly 2,000 page, piece of legislation that, once again, absolutely no one has read. But then according to that pathetic and pompous gas bag, John Kerry Heinz, who I believe once spent a couple of weeks in Vietnam, why should anyone responsible for voting on the bill, actually spend time reading it. "Dingy" and his fellow Democrat cadre of crooks, of which Kerry is so obviously one, had hoped to pass it with only a couple of days' worth of so-called "debate."


If you listen to "Dingy" and his merry band of thieves, as well as anyone in the state controlled media, this monumental piece of crap was designed to bankroll the day-to-day operations of the government for the budget year that started October 1, funding the almost one-third of the federal budget that Congress has to pass each year. That's nothing more than a cockamamie myth cooked up the Democrats. In reality it is nothing more than another attempt by Barry "Almighty" to shove through yet one more bogus stimulus plan/slush fund. Look, with all seriousness aside here, under normal circumstances, which is something that we have now moved well beyond by the way, the House and Senate typically spend months on the 12 annual spending bills, but not this time around. Our stealthy bunch of Democrats, with "Dingy" leading the way, didn't bring a single spending bill to the Senate floor for the entire year, representing an unprecedented collapse of the appropriations process. The House only passed two of the 12 bills and didn't make any of the other 10 public. Their game entire plan was to wait until after the election and then force things through during the lame duck session. Why? Because they were fairly sure of the outcome that turned out to be the realization of their worst fears. To use Barry's term, a shellacking.


On the plus side, the sinking of the bill is said to be seen as a setback for our "Beloved Leader," Barry "Almighty", who had chose to support the bill despite provisions to block the Pentagon from transferring Guantanamo Bay prisoners to the United States and fund a program to develop a second engine for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, which the administration says is a waste of money. All of which goes to show the complete and utter shallowness possessed by this clown. Barry came under fire from Republicans for supporting the bill after promising, on any number of occasions, after the election to take a firmer stance against earmarks. But release of the bill on Tuesday sparked an outcry among the GOP's conservative political base. Senate Republicans held two combative closed-door meetings in which the rank-and-file turned up the heat on those few Republicans who were considering voting for the bill. Those ever problematic RINOs no doubt. Many Republicans were also irate that the measure contained money to begin implementation of Barry's controversial health care law and a financial overhaul measure that all but a handful of Republicans opposed. Actually, most of the rest of the bill had bipartisan support. It stuck to a spending cap sought by Republicans while boosting spending for Head Start, veterans programs and Pell Grants for disadvantaged college students. But that message didn't get out amid the firestorm over the 6700 earmarks it contained and the measure's incredible size and again the fact that once again a bill was getting passed that no one had bothered to read.


I don't know about anyone else, but I truly cannot wait until 2012, I am literally counting the days. Although, I must confess I am more than a little apprehensive about what the mindset of the electorate will be at that time. If the Republican fail to move forward on the promises made then there is little doubt that we could once again be facing the same ugly scenario we were confronted with for the last 2 years, with "Dingy" running the Senate and "Botox" once again in charge of the House. And I know that at the present time there does seem to be a consensus of sorts that Barry does not deserve to be re-elected and that he may even be faced with a primary challenge. But it remains far too early to count on either of those scenarios becoming a reality. This team of Barry, "Dingy" and "Botox" has had a very damaging effect on our country, hopefully what has been done is not irreparable. So between now and then I'll keep shoving money under my mattress, hunkering down until hopefully the storm clouds pass and the sun once more comes out and shine down brightly on America.
