Senator Harry Reid Takes Credit for Rush Limbaugh’s Idea

Senators Harry Reid and Charles Schumer: Who’s stealing ideas, not us.


In the most pathetic and buffoonish example of Democrat stupidity Democrat Senate leader Harry Reid stood in the well of the Senate and attempted to take credit for good that came out of something that he and his friends mean for evil.

A letter written and signed by 41 Democrat U.S. Senators to Mark Mays, CEO of Clear Channel Communications and Rush Limbaugh’s boss, was meant to censor Mr. Limbaugh.

It is the first time in the history of America that we have evidence in plain sight that elected officials attempted to use the power of the government to deprave a private citizen of his first amendment constitutional rights of free speech.

However Senator Reid wasn’t taking responsibility for that unconstitutional act, oh no, he was instead attempting to steal credit for a private citizen’s (who he and 40 of his ultra-partisan friends attempted to destroy) idea to turn what was meant for evil into something good.

Rush Limbaugh turned the unconscionable unconstitutional evil act of Harry Reid into a 2million dollar act of charity which Limbaugh then personally matched dollar for dollar making it a total gift of 4million dollars!

Really Senator Reid you don’t have to steal another man’s act of charity you and your accomplices are free to donation as much or even more than Rush did to charity. That would be 2million dollars each times 41 Democrat Senators. Just think that would be 82 million dollars to your favorite charity, Moveon.org, Senator!

Oh by the way the 40 other Democrats who signed this letter of Democrat disgrace are:

Senators; Hillary Rodham Clinton, Barack Obama, Richard Durbin, Charles Schumer, Patty Murray Daniel Akaka, Max Baucus, Joseph Biden, Barbara Boxer, Sherrod Brown, Robert Byrd, Benjamin Cardin, Tom Carper, Bob Casey, Kent Conrad, Christopher Dodd, Byron Dorgan, Dianne Feinstein, Tom Harkin, Daniel Inouye, Edward M. Kennedy, John Kerry, Amy Klobuchar, Mary Landrieu, Frank Lautenberg, Patrick Leahy, Carl Levin, Blanche Lincoln, Bob Menendez, Barbara Mikulski, Bill Nelson, Jack Reed jay Rockefeller, Ken Salazar, Bernie Sanders, Debbie Stabenow, Jon Tester Jim Webb Sheldon Whitehouse and Ron Wyden.

We’ll be waiting for an announcement of Limbaugh-like acts of charity from the Senators listed above. After all we all know that Democrats are more generous than Rush Limbaugh and the Conservatives. (See Reid Below)

Why are these men smiling: They’re going to a slumber party!

A "circus, a "mockery,""Kabuki theater," a "carnival" and a "charade," Democrats have said. Not only that, but "a colossal waste of time." Given the increasingly geriatric nature of the chamber as a whole, the Senate in all-night session amounts to "elder abuse."
Those were Democrats talking about the last all-night Senate session four years ago. Then, they were in the minority and forced by Republicans to make good on their threat to filibuster judicial nominations.

“Clay pigeon” Majority leader Harry Reid and the wacky Democrat controlled Senate are up to more Senate tricks! Well it’s supposed to be an all night debate signifying the sacrifice that our soldiers in Iraq make. You know the soldiers in the theatre of war are often up all night defending this country (are there any beds in fox holes?) and some brilliant Senator said, Hey I know, let’s do a all night debate like the soldiers stay up all night in Iraq.
"How many sleepless nights have our soldiers and their families had?" --Sen. Dick Durbin,D-Ill

So the Democrats patted themselves on the back and immediately ordered 100 beds just in case the hard work of emulating the soldier’s vigilance in fighting the war might get too tiresome. Now you all know why this hair-brained Democrat controlled Congress has an approval rating of a dismal 14%!

The last time that the Senate staged an all night debate Democrats called it; a circus, a mockery, Kabuki Theater, a carnival, a charade a colossal waste of time and elder abuse.

So to avoid looking foolish like the last time that the Senate debated all night long Democrats ordered plenty of beds. I guess someone has to do the hard work that Americans won’t do, aye Senators?

Pillow fight anyone? Next time how’s about a Senate overnight fieldtrip to Baghdad?

Hey Senator Reid was this your bright idea?

While Washington is burning Bush fiddles with Amnesty for Illegals

The legend has it as Rome burned Nero fiddled. I guest that’s how some leaders relieved stress at the end of their rule. While the fiddle had not been invented yet and whether Nero sang the “Sack of Ilium” or played the lyre instead of playing the fiddle, if what Nero did is in question what is not in question is the Great fire of Rome.

Which brings me to my point, whether you believe Bush lied, spied or denied one thing is not in question is the Great spilt of the Republican Party and who’s responsible for it.

Republicans have suffered a mismanaged war, a mismanaged Presidential administration and now the greatest mistimed event ever before a Presidential election, a fight over amnesty for illegals that has absolutely split the Party and sent some Republican voters into the ranks of the Independents.

I have been warning everyone who would listen that if the President didn’t drop this divisive measure, of selling citizenship to Mexican nationals who illegally broke into this country, he would soon be attacked on his flank by Democrats with attacks on the war in Iraq and other attacks against his administration. In additional I warned that with the on coming onslaught that the Democrats were planning the President needed all of the support he could muster for the war and the remaining days of his Presidency.

I also attempted to give alert that after the lost of control of the Senate and the House in 2006 that what Republicans need is a united effort to win in 2008 and 2010 not the lose, lose fight about Amnesty which the Democrats will manipulate in their favor anyway no matter what Republicans do.

I pointed out that if the President weakened his support and weaken the Republican Party with this illegal alien divisiveness, things would be bad for Republicans. I don’t enjoy saying I told you so but…

This has got to be the most shortsighted self-indulgent political blunder of recent times President Bush. You put your wishes above the good of the Country and the Republican Party with this amnesty fight.

Finally, Republicans will have to take their own political destiny into their own hands by casting aside an ever increasing irrelevant lame duck President to concentrate on uniting the Republican Party.

First Republicans need to select leadership to coordinate a purging of ranks of RINOs; compassionate, moderate, and liberals or any Democrat placating Republicans.

Republicans need political fighters opposite to the go along to get along Trent Lott, Lindsey Graham, Arlen Spector, and Mitch McConnell type of weak archaic leader that they presently have.

Democrats have declared war on Conservativism and the Republican Party so it is important that anyone who is not ready or willing to fight for the ideas of Conservativism should be challenged in primaries with Republicans that will do the fighting that RINOs won’t do!

Today’s vote on cloture regarding the Kennedy-Bush immigration bill is a landmark vote for the Republican Party. Will Republicans stand and fight or will Republicans cut and run from the will of the electorate and give in to forces that are using the government and people to enrich themselves.

Republicans need to vote no to cloture and start repairing the damage that the President’s ill fated effort to legalize illegality has caused to Party cohesion. As well Republicans need to move forward from the shadows of failed and archaic Congressional, Marquis of Queensbury Rules, leadership and elect new leaders willing to mix it up with the Pelosis, Reids, Schumers, Murthas, Leahys, Waxmans, and the Levins of the Democrat Party.

Republicans can no longer save President Bush from himself so let him fiddle while the rest of us clean up the devastation and work put this party back together.

For the next 18 months President Bush will be catching hell every way that Democrats can throw it at him. It’s already started will the subpoenas of the Whitehouse and the Vice President. And believe me you haven’t seen nothing yet!

Bush’s up coming fight with the Democrats will provide the cover needed for Republicans to organize. The alternative is the end of Conservatism, which I believe, its end has been greatly exaggerated.

The only end Conservatives want to see now is the end of the Bush Presidency and the successful election of a Conservative President and Congress.

With Congressional Democrats’ approval rating at 14%, an all time low, there is hope that Republicans may get a chance to defeat Senator Clinton and win the White house.

That will only be possible by a united Republican Party that is united around Conservative ideas. A Party that is willing to fight for those ideas otherwise Conservatives will once again watch a united Democrat party win everything.

No on cloture, no on amnesty and no to Hillary these are a good points to start unifying around otherwise Republicans will remain out of power fiddling while America is destroyed by liberalism.
