Harry Reid sold us out. It’s as simple as that.
He let filibuster reform slip away, claiming he didn’t have the votes.
He should have called for a vote so we all could know which Democrats didn’t support ending the gridlock and obstructionism of the Republicans in the Senate. Then we could direct our anger at them instead of Hapless Harry.
A disappointed Sen. Tom Harkin said President Obama might as well take a four-year vacation, and I’m afraid he’s right.
The GOP holds the House, thanks to their gerrymandering and even though the Dems have a majority in the Senate, they will get nothing done because the GOP won’t allow it — and Harry Reid has just let that happen.
I didn’t even have to read the headline when I saw the creepy, lipless smile on Sen. Mitch McConnell’s face. He has every reason to be happy — he just got the best gift he could ever wish for.
In the last six years Republicans have used the filibuster nearly 400 times to grind progress to a halt, and it doesn’t even take any effort on their part. I single senator can say, “I don’t like this. FILIBUSTER!” and it’s done unless the Democrats have 60 votes to overcome it.
They have ruled by minority ever since the Dems took control of the Senate and they’re not going to stop now.
Thanks a lot Harry. You really screwed us this time.
