Harry Reid's Koch-fever got a hold of him tight

Fever all through the morning, Baby, fever all through the night.



He does go on. Traducing good solid Americans. Smearing Republicans for no apparently good reason. Comity in the United States Senate? This is where comity would start. (Tom Coburn [D] calls Reid an absolute asshole and no one doubts it. Much explaining to do after that.)
NASCAR fans easily find their favorite drivers by logos slathered all over their cars. Clothing in the Senate does not bear any corporate logos. There should never be any doubt as to their sponsors. We're here in the Senate for one reason: 1) To give Americans a fair shot at 1A) providing for their families, 1B having their voices heard. But Republicans seem more willing to identify themselves with their billionaire sponsors. Although they do not wear corporate coats ties and jackets, they display their sponsers proudly through their actions here in the United States Senate. 
Behold the words of spokesperson for criminal syndicate describing the other. There is no end to the man's distortions. His utterances defy credibility and betray a sickened mind. With each word he makes us appreciate simple sincere Americans like the Koch brothers more and more. He is better off just SingTFU. But he cannot STFU. 

Very well . Harry Reid's Sponsors:

Career or last election cycle? Let's do career.

We are here in the Senate for one thing?  Really? How odd reducing that job to one thing divided in two parts, make life in the US affordable for people and give them a fair voice. 

Right. 

By jacking with the Economy such that employment is a remote hope for unprecedented numbers for unprecedented length of time then distorting the numbers. And by destroying the middle class piece by piece, by dismissing the real reasons for being in the United States Senate, chief among them protecting the nations currency and its borders, rather than creating chaos in both areas and creating protracted messes for citizens to fight over and to deal with on their own. By disregarding laws already passed in favor of positions that give temporary advantage to Party. By making one's observable behavior seen and understood as loyalty to Party, always Party over all.

By forcing unwanted legislation and reprehensible unread regulations written by corporate lawyers and corporate lobbyists upon citizens who voted for you and against you alike. With zero bipartisan support. 

The man has completely lost his mind.

If he expects us to buy this, and he does. Gaslight away, Harry, it isn't working, you madman.

Who hired this guy?

He actually said his one job is help people's voices be heard? I'm pretty sure he said that. While using government departments to step on the necks of opposition and denying anything at all wrong? 

While calling citizens complaining about being kicked off their policies, their rates escalating, their co-pays doubling and tripling, their out-of-pockets ruinous, all liars, all of them liars? All of them? Then denying he said that. That is giving voice to the little guy, Harry Reid saying, "Shut up."  American for Prosperity video Julie Boonstra healthcare victim. 

Harry wants patches for Republicans so they are easily spotted. 

Harry, Harry, Harry, oh Harry, must it be spelled out how bad you make yourself and your Party look to others. Party uber alles, you're going down, old man.  Hard.


What patch for Harry then? We see his top ten donors. Open Secrets has the rest.  The list of Harry's contributors goes on and on and on and on and on, just like Harry does.

Newmont Mining
Girardi & Keese
Akin, Gump
Comcast
JP Morgan Chase
WPP Group
Waters & Kraus
AT&T
Blackstone Group
Interpublic Group

Gosh, this leaves out all the in-kind back and forth, the built in corruption that works to Harry's advantage, chief among them government departments corrupt to the gills with Party operatives working diligently overcoming checks and balances to advantage of Party, always Party. Labor unions working with Democrats against the interests of the country. Comcast is low on the list but the value of their cable networks devoted to Party is incalculable waning, but still.  

Harry Reid would be covered from head to toe with patches were the creaky wizened old scarecrow to follow his own perverse advise. Mote, eye, others, beam, own eye, etc. Patches of various Soros funded companies, some thirty or so patches right there. It would be a good way to shut Harry up. He'd be covered with patches so extensively his reedy voice muffled unable to be amplified through layers of corporate patches. Here is a patch for Harry: 
And Gore called Steyer, who has vowed to raise at least $100 million,”Mr. Tipping Point.’’ Bostonglobe.  

Review.

A fair shot at providing for their families by forcing them to buy something they said they do not want, and keep saying it. Something that redounds power to Party. Involves government in their lives to the breaking point. By observable actions that destroy the middle class, and  by removing choices.

And a fair shot at being heard by calling them liars. (And actually too smelly to be around, very funny, everybody laughs.)

Billionaires, that word again. Who is that word intended to spook? Who does it fool?

And that miserable pedantic hand motion he does, they do, that looks like they're drilling the point with a pin. I cannot stand their hand motions. They speak to me directly in a separate overlain language that says, "I'm an asshole and I don't believe myself what I'm saying, point for point for exact lying point." I hate his lying pedantic-ass sign language and all of their sign languages.

A LEADING Democrat. And lead he does with the power of his sheer moral character - as sheer as the shadow of gossamer in a fog.

Calypso Facto said...

What about Democrats who take Koch donations? Do they get patches too?

What about donations from former Koch lobbyists to Mssr. Reid himself? Is one degree of separation enough to avoid the stigma of anti-establishment thought?

I think he's the biggest jackass, and most partisan Senate majority leader in my lifetime.

He's probably pushing for approval of the Comcast-TW merger right now.

Yet, the Repubs don't seem to care. No matter how the Dems attack them, break Senate Tradition, and play games, all the Repubs want to do is "reach across the aisle"

It makes me wonder how much of the public speeches and rhetoric by these characters is just Kabuki theater.

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more Koch-bell!

Shouting Thomas said...

That's really ugly shit Reid is doing!

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

The same way Brendan Eich was turned into Eichman. The Koch brothers are being turned into Genghis Khan.

In the name of progress.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

You may say that's an exaggeration Lem... not worthy of discussion.

But why does the absence of a real Genghis Khan puts the burden on me to argue in favor of some moderation on the part of a US senator and not a burden on the senator to abstain from demonizing a private American citizen for the crime of exercising his constitutional right?

That's a hypothetical.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

I wanted to tweet that Koch Khan, Eich Eichman alliteration. but I thought it was over the top.

Why do I get to see when something might be over the top and not these people who are supposedly so smart and brilliant?

I mean getting rid of a brilliant guy like Eich has to be right up there... here comes another exaggeration... with one of the classic blunders - The most famous of which is "never get involved in a land war in Asia" - but only slightly less well-known is this: "Never go in against a brilliant guy like Eich when appearance is on the line"!

Appearance is a double edge sword.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

Losing the forest for the trees.

In some kind of a needless purity quest not only did they cut down a healthy tree. They did so very publically making themselves look awfully intolerant in the process. The very thing they so said to highly price of others towards them.

Lem the artificially intelligent said...

That exaggeration was a slight variation or deviation from a Vizzini Princess Bride quote... in case it did not make itself obvious.

What other movie do the characters get to have their own IMDb quote page?

That reminds me, I haven't seen the movie in a long while. I should take a refresher watch.

The modern fascist left can only control and destroy. They do that by finding and targeting a villain.

The ACA is such a disaster, harry Reid(D-Nazi) has litter choice. He's a despicable vile pathetic corrupt little old man. He should also be indicted for tax payer fraud, money laundering, nepotism and corruption and thrown off the Senate.

Unknown said...

Money is free speech.
George Soros is OK - because he's a huge socialist progressive.

The Koch brother support free speech and freedom in general so they must be destroyed by the neo-fascist progressive authoritarian left. Make no mistake, the modern democrat party are not he party of free speech.

Harry's patch looks like a black spider.

Any corporation who gives to Harry Reid is corrupt and should be shamed out of business.

There's no evidence at all that it isn't working. Reid isn't going to lose his seat. He MAY lose his majority, but even then he will wield lots of power as minority leader.

Obama got re-elected because enough people that he had done a great job. You'll note that the Dems didn't even mount a challenge to Obama in the primaries, so they think Obama is doing a better job than Carter did.

They are getting away with it, and they're likely to keep getting away with it.

Unknown said...

....since this is the war corrupt Harry is waging.

Icepick said...

As for billionaire being a scare word. Well, why not? As many of them as not have gotten there in part because of favorable treatment form governments. How many of the Warren Buffets and George Soroses benefited from the trillions in bailouts in recent years? Certainly they have much more than any of the people like me have.

How many like Bill Gates have benefited from governments not looking too closely at their business practices? How many such as the tech titans in Silicon Valley have benefited from US governmental practices designed to drive down wages and give nations like China disastrously favorable terms in trading status? (There's a reason Zuckerburg is funding both Democratic and Republican efforts to "reform" immigration and drive wages down even further.)

Big money means the power to roll over everyone not as rich as you. It doesn't matter if it is a corporation (Boeing just got a sweet-heart of a deal on tax breaks from Washington state - they're getting over $7,000 in return for every dollar they spent buying pols in state. Try getting that kind of return on your money in ANY other field of endeavor.) or an individual. Too much power in too few hands is a danger sign for a republic.

There's every reason to fear that much power in one set of hands, be the names Morgan or Vanderbilt, Hughes, Soros or Koch. But it is funny seeing one of the premier bough-and-paid-for mouthpieces decry the practice.

As they say, scratch a Lefty and you find a Totalitarian.

The big question is, does he belong in the SS or, given some of the rumors, the SA?

" US governmental practices designed to drive down wages and give nations like China disastrously favorable terms in trading status?"

US government policy overwhelmingly increases the costs of labor here, and that is what gives China an advantage. If you want policy to force increased benefits for American workers then you have to accept the result of China getting an advantage from that. Jobs move where labor is the best value. American workers are increasingly poorer educated and more expensive precisely because of US government policy. Chinese workers are in effect being subsidised by American regulations and policy. There is simply no avoiding competition - you have to compete, and we are doing it poorly. Unless you want to kill off 90% of the world who are poorer than us but increasing better qualified, we will lose jobs to them. We need less burden on employers, and better education for workers, period. Nothing else can work long term. In competition there is a winner and a loser, and we don't have the power to change the rules.

TOP is back to denigrating their source of traffic and income.

Which is why median income has been falling for decades, no doubt.

I look forward to that undenied pederast becoming worm food in the near future.

What a disgusting old piece of shit.

President-Mom-Jeans said...

As to TOP, has anyone seen that ghastly photo she has up now?

Even southwest would charge her extra for those bags under her eyes.

Methadras said...

I wish nothing but death upon Harry Reid.

bagoh20 said...

"Which is why median income has been falling for decades, no doubt."

I said cost of labor, not pay. Pay is being dragged down by costs employers have to pay for the ever expanding wasteful safety net and support of nonworking people young old and in the middle, but even if none of that existed, we will still need to be competitive. Just bitching about having to compete while continuing to shoot ourselves in the foot is dumb and guaranteed to fail.

The days of easy dependable pay gains just because you are in America are gone for good. That situation was a temporary bubble of timing we were lucky enough to get a taste of, but it was never sustainable. The rest of the world is not filled with backwaters any longer. They are smart, motivated and hungry. Are we?

Just an anecdote here but a friend of mine is an electrician. He runs his own business and does a lot of work out at DIA. Recently in fact, his firm installed the huge new monitors in the main terminal building - among other on-going electrical projects out there. Anyway, he told me he has an extremely difficult time hiring skilled electricians. He also has a hard time training younger people who are interested in learning the trade. They start out eager, but as soon as the going gets rough, they often give up, unable to stick with and handle a challenge.
There's something inculcated in our culture that has changed. Our young people don't want to work hard, we don't expect them to, & they demand good money for it.
We are told by politicians like Nancy Pelosi that hard work in unnecessary. Just sit back and let the government subsidize you while you follow your bliss. A recipe for disaster if you ask me.
Meanwhile, the rest of the world continues to kick our butt.

bagoh20 said...

April, you hit it on the head. At my company we are at the point where we don't even care about your damned resume. All that matters in the end is attitude. It's easier to hire and train a blank slate with good motivation. We actually prefer the untrained with no work history - young kids. We hire them, give them a few days to jump on it like a predator, or we let you go. Maybe one out of ten works out, but the ones who do can double their pay in the first year and have a valuable skill they can take anywhere. Opportunity is there, but few will grab it. Hell, you might get called a "brownoser" all the way to the bank.

Unknown said...

The American spirit has been crushed by people like Nancy Pelosi. Her attitude is what is killing America.
Don't work, free ride, follow your bliss, tax payers will pick up the bill.
