My opinion of Senator Harry Reid has changed.
I have always thought of Harry Reid as a scowling, mean spirited curmudgeon, but after reading the opinion piece entitled "Reid Blocks ACORN Probe" in the Las Vegas Review Journal 25 September 2009, I have been moved to change my opinion.
In addition to the nice things I said about him in the previous paragraph, I have to add that he has a defective prize from a tainted box of crackerjacks which he is using for a brain.
Mr. Reid is refusing to hold a Senate hearing on "ACORN" and its activities.
I guess Mr. Reid thinks voter registration fraud, hiring inmates to do voter registration work here in Las Vegas, turning in 2000 to 3000 registrations per week 48% of which turned out to be fraudulent is OK.
Even when faced with all the evidence including the "Pimp and Ho" videos and a letter signed by 28 GOP senators, still Sen. Reid intentionally covers-up the truth; And in spite of the fact that the U.S. Senate voted 83-7 on September 14th to block ACORN from further bidding for any more federal grant money, Reid blocks the Senates investigation; And even though it is becoming clear that ACORN may have manipulated tens of thousands of ballots in the 2008 Federal election,(an area where Congress has very clear oversight responsibilities) Harry Reid refuses to do anything, but protect Acorn. Hey Harry who the hell are you protecting, or better yet who has the goods on you which is making you reluctant to dig out the truth?
To quote Mr Reid "Additonal investigations might distract lawmakers from addressing more important matters, including health care and an economic recovery".
Ignoring the problem will not make it go away Harry, all it will do is fester and get bigger and bigger until it turns into the proverbial 800 pound gorilla in the room.
"We the People" have a right to expect more from you clowns in Washington
If you think you can just blow this off and still have any chance of being re-elected, you are not only living in Fantasyland, I might be lead to believe that you have been smoking some of that funny stuff that Barak says he experimented with when he was in college.
"We the People" have a right to expect more from you clowns in Washington than to be blown off or ignored by you. In case you have forgotten, the inconvenient truth is; YOU WORK FOR US! DO YOUR JOB AND DO IT HONESTLY FOR A CHANGE OR GET THE HELL OUT OF OUR WAY.
