Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) was one bitter man as he railed against the press and accused them of reporting only what the Republicans said and not what was actually happening on the Senate floor.
From the Politico.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) is a tough guy but he usually doesn’t take his anger out on the press. Thursday was an exception, however.
Reid held a press conference today with the rest of his leadership team – Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.), Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee Chairman Charles Schumer (N.Y.) and Democratic Conference Secretary Patty Murray (Wash.).
Reid railed against Republicans for filibustering the Democrats’ energy bill and refusing Reid’s offer for votes on several GOP-favored amendments related to offshore drilling and nuclear power, among others.
Reid then turned his sights on the gathered reporters, saying news stories on the state of the Senate’s energy fight had been improperly relayed, especially whether he had actually offered Republicans separate votes on their proposals.
The Nevada Democrat said reporters should actually watch what’s happening on the Senate floor rather than just printing what Republicans said.
“I would suggest you would pick up a lot of interesting things doing that,” Reid said. When a reporter said she was watching the floor, and it still wasn’t clear what Reid had offered the Republicans, Reid got mad.
“Turn up your hearing aid,” Reid said. “It was clear for those of us who understand English.”
This is what happens when the Democrats gain control of things. They get arrogant and pompous and start insulting people who don’t agree with them. Reid is just frustrated that he doesn’t have enough votes to ram his agenda through and is blaming the liberal media of all people for his failings.

Reid is out of touch with the rest of America, he was the one who said, (during the immigration debate) “Who will cut our grass or clean our houses.” alway lumping illegal with legal immigration, the rest of us do it ourself. You are right he is arrogant, maybe he and others like him think they have presidental powers, but then thats what most democrats and some republicans are like and most of Americans are sick of these little boys, they should pick up their marbles ,go home and play in their sandboxes.
Time to vote out all politicians not doing the will of the majority.
I CALL NANCY EVERYDAY AND YELL INTO THE PHONE DRILL! DRILL!! DRILL!!!
NANCY PELOSI DIRECT – (202) 225-0100
You will only have a few seconds to get out your message to the staffer on the phone. Make his day and send hundreds of phone calls.
It’s past time that American citizens woke up and realized what the goals are of the leftist liberal Democrats. Controlled by the radical left environmentalists, who are the new communists, the goal of “conservation” means curtailed transportation such as autos and less mileage driven, lower thermostats with smaller homes and fewer modern conveniences, crowded ghettos, and a lower standard of living…..
Remember, the major claims by the radical environmentalists are that humans are a virus on mother earth who use too much energy to maintain “affluent” standards of living. Not only do these elitist leftists favor collectivization and a lower standard of living for Americans, they also favor a radical reduction in the number of Americans. It would also reduce America to a 3rd world power which they see as the cause of most of the world’s problems by crippling our economic and military power…..
Thru the accomplishment of the radical environmentalist agenda, the Democrats believe they can control almost all aspects of our lives, not only from our standards of living but to our very right to live, including the right to have families. If you think that abortion on demand for the sake of convenience, euthanasia on demand, and children seen as the property of the state are examples of liberal compassion, think again. Better yet, be prepared for the Gulags and the Killing Fields.
Reid strikes me as just a nasty person. He was probably a nasty kid in school too. He doesn’t seem to have outgrown it. He has never said anything that makes any sense. He only has one agenda: Hate Bush and Republicans and obstruct everything they propose.
I can’t wait until he is gone.
The situation in Oregon is very bad. Already the State of Oregon has adopted the Principles and Practices of Sustainable Development. Under disguise of Transportation, Natural Resources, Urban/Rural Land Use Planning, and Disabilities. Here the process of Nationalizing private businesses is actively in progress.
If you call Ms Peelosi office and ask to leave a message, they politely give you her voice mail. Of course a staffer will listen and delete; but you have a little longer to talk.
When she speaks she will of course say she hasn’t heard from anyone wanting to drill!
PRICELESS!!! Love it when the Lib’s self destruct!
