Democrats Beginning To Tell Harry Reid: PLEASE SHUT UP!
On Sunday’s Face the Nation, Host and liberal apologist Bob Schieffer went on the attack as he interviewed former Ohio governor and Obama mouthpiece Ted Strickland and compared Harry Reid’s tactics to Joe McCarthy:
BOB SCHIEFFER: Let me go to you, Governor Strickland. You have been pounding Mitt Romney for not releasing his tax returns, and you have repeated what Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been saying that Mitt Romney may have paid no taxes in all of, in some of those years. You know, this morning Reince Priebus who’s the chairman of the Republican Party, said I think over on Fox, that, that Harry Reid is a dirty liar. And I have to say, he has shown nothing, no evidence to substantiate that charge. He just says he heard it from somebody. Do you have any proof that Mitt Romney paid no taxes in some years?
TED STRICKLAND: No, but Mr. Romney could give us the proof that he has paid taxes consistently. The fact is, Bob, Mitt Romney wants the American people to trust him with the presidency, but he won’t trust us with his tax returns. All he has to do is release his tax returns. The question that I think is this: why is Mitt Romney refusing to give us his tax returns?
SCHIEFFER: Well, you know, I take your point, Governor, but isn’t this kind of like Joe McCarthy back in the era when he said, “I have here in my hand the names of 400 people in the state department who are communist?” It turned out he didn’t and he was saying the way to prove that they’re not is for them to come forward here. I mean, asking somebody to come forward to, to just because there’s been an unsubstantiated charge, that’s a little thin to me.
Today liberal Washington Post Columnist Richard Cohen called Reid’s charges gutter politics and wrote
In “The Godfather Part II,” a senator from Nevada is portrayed as corrupt. His name is Pat Geary. In real life, a senator from Nevada is a jerk. His name is Harry Reid.

“…but he won’t trust us with his tax returns.” No, he doesn’t trust ignorant Democrat voters who, for the most part, lack the equivalence of an 8th grade education and a basic understanding of even simple math, much less the convoluted IRS tax forms of which much of the aforementioned ignorant Democrat voting base doesn’t know the meaning of ‘income tax’ in the first place. Couple that with how easily this child-like voting block can be led by the nose by the media and evil liberal politicians, and well, you pretty much understand why Romney is doing what he’s doing.

Yes Harry…do keep talking. It is also “tradition” that candidates release their college records.

It’s looks like Reid watched a movie marathon about dirty politicians (always portrayed as Republicans, it seems)and their skeevy tactics, and took notes on ways he could possibly win a losing campaign.

During a recent golf outing in Las vegas – Harry Reid had been slicing off the tee on every hole.
He asks his Scottish caddy if he has noticed any obvious reasons for his poor tee shots, to which the caddy replies:
“Aye, there’s a piece of shyt on the end of yer driver. ”
Harry Reid picks up his driver and cleans the club face, at which point the caddy says:
“No, the other end.”

Interesting theory Harry. I don’t trust any politician fully. To do so would be ignorant.
Let’s be honest though, we know way more about Mittens than we do about Barry. SO, call on Barry to do the same thing with his records and you might save your honor, what little there is left of it….

Harry and Nancy and Barack are the best leaders we deserve.
So glad to rely on such hard-working uninterested politicians.
Free healthcare and Social justice are good.
Guns and greed are evil.
