I still have not received any replies to why Harry Reid had 3 illegal mexicans working for him until someone found out about it.

So Harry was paying illegals to be his slaves and clean his dirty house but that is different? And we all know how dirty his house must be.

Why doesn't he compare those tax foreclosed properties that he was able to de value below market value while and he and his partners bought up the land for next to nothing. Then he had his local people commercialize the land to be sold for millions. Isnt that a form of slavery to make others suffer for your own good? Guess it is.

Countdown to Harry being UNEMPLOYED BEGINS RIGHT NOW.

Bye bye Harry, you are a goner buddy.

The cry to garner support for an issue used to be, "we're doing it for the children". Heck, who would want to go on record as being against children.

The race card has replaced children. . Now they figure that they will label anyone opposing their aganda as racist. Heck, who would want to be labeled a racist.

It's really laughable.

lol What in my statement is false that black people are voting for the party that wanted them to remain slaves.

Just because democrats have what appears to won a battle of labeling republicans racist doesnt make it so.

This will most likely offend you also. Democrats havent stopped making many black people slaves. They are slaves to being dependent on welfare. Democrats doesnt people to become better. They are just fine with people being dependent on gov programs because that means they get votes

Democrats have just found another way of making people slaves to the gov with higher taxes and social programs. To if people didnt have that they would have no choice but get up and improve their lives

Now we do need to help those that are disabled, children and seniors

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.
What a foolish rant. Do you not get that Reid was talking to the Blue Dogs Democrats about historic legislation as much if not more than he was talking to the Republicans? Of course you don't because you're duped by Fox into believing it's always all about the R and the D. You take your marching orders, sound bites and talking points from the people who feed you that partisan pap.

My "utter hatred of Fox"? Surely you jest. I watch Fox all the time and I even watch Fox News. I like comedy.

Projection is a defense mechanism that involves taking our own unacceptable qualities or feelings and ascribing them to other people. For example, if you have a strong dislike for someone, you might instead believe that he or she does not like you. Projection functions to allow the expression of the desire or impulse, but in a way that the ego cannot recognize, therefore reducing anxiety.

Glad to see you did the research.
