Just when you think Reid can’t get more out of touch :
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid launched his harshest attack on the Republican Party in months, claiming the GOP is “being run by a talk show host.”
Reid, armed with a patch of Astroturf, slammed Republicans for sponsoring town hall attacks on Democrats and accused the party of waging a barricade on Democratic efforts to pass health care reform legislation.
“I just want to show you what Astroturf really is,” Reid said to laughter. “They’re taking their cues from talk show hosts, Internet rumor mongers, and insurance rackets.”
Insurance rackets? You mean the same guys who have donated more than $400,000.00 to Reid’s 2010 campaign? Or are there two insurance rackets - a good one buying Reid’s support and a bad one buying ours? If so, when do I get my check for my efforts? I mean, Reid is clearing 400 grand - can’t I get even 400 bucks?
I note that Reid isn’t trying a town hall with us Nevadans - because, as someone pointed out, “astroturf” is outpolling Reid 60/40. Its also rather odd, don’t you think, that with a filibuster proof majority, Reid feels called upon to battle us - why is that? I mean, if all this amounts to is an astroturf effort by insurance companies, then let’s have a vote, Harry. Or could it be that Reid knows ObamaCare is political kryptonite? My bet is the latter - and Reid knows it, is terrified, and is thus - once again - following the lead of Nancy Pelosi in denouncing us as unruly mobs of scam artists.
Ain’t gonna work, Harry - we’ve got your number, and don’t bother measuring for replacement drapes for the Majority Leader’s office in 2011.
