Reid Forgets He Voted Against Reform Cloture; Blames GOP For Failure

[Sunny-Days-in-Florida]

Nothing like wasting our time and playing dirty tricks.

Reid should be ashamed of himself for being so stupid.

The vote was in and now he wants to play games and buy some votes.

Everyone should see this for what it is, Reid is playing games on our time.

Not much longer and Harry can go back to NV and steal some more land from his people, re-zone it and sell it for millions like has has forever.

Bye bye Harry!

Thanks for proving you do not even have the slightest clue the way the Senate works....

Does this have to be explained step by step like I am talking to a little child??

Reid held a vote in order to open up debate the financial reform bill. The Republicans blocked the bill from being debated. Reid switched his vote to no because that gives him another opportunity to hold another vote on opening up debate on the financial reform. This is nothing new. All majority leaders have done this when the other side has blocked a bill. Why is this so hard to comprehend??

Exactly.

If I recall correctly, one time back in the 1990's Bob Dole voted against a flag burning amendment so he would have the chance to bring it up again later.
