Yeah, he and Pelosi both define "leadership" in America today.

I do find it interesting that when the Republican National Committee meets, his is the only black face in sight.
The left just cannot survive without playing the race card over and over again can they? They whine and point fingers at the GOP because there are relatively few black members. They then turn around and attack the black members and accuse the Republicans of tokenism. Typical liberal hypocrisy.

Yes I have a problem with your statement.... This Republican Party isn't the 1860 Republican Party..... Today's Dems are MUCH closer to representing what Republicans stood for in 1860 than today's reps....

You appear completely ignorant of the evolution of the parties since 1860, and yes, I take GREAT exception to your suggestion here...

You've been duped by Fox News into believing the issue is party politics. It isn't. It's about what Reid believes is historic legislation. Only Fox News and it's sheep are concerned about what party who belonged to in those historic legislation votes.

And in the end the legislation that's being debated loses the government public option and instead uses private enterprises. They also proposed "across state lines" terms. In other words, they finally added some ideas from the Republicans.

What you posted is totally irrelevant to what Reid said. You continue to buy into the Fox News spin that Reid's comments had something to do with partisan politics.

It was all about partisan politics. Just like changing the locks on the meeting room. It sort of resembles you and your utter hatred for Fox. All that reaction really is is a knee jerk to hearing another person's ideas. You just can't stand to hear anything other than your own opinion. Although I admit, Reid just babble incoherently when he doesn't get his way or has to listen to other people. The pull-away from Pelosi was priceless.
