Dump Harry Reid as Senate Majority Leader!

As I wrote the other day, Harry Reid is an ineffective majority leader. He is useless. He is spineless. The Democrats need a majority leader with some savvy. The Democrats need a leader who will not let the Republicans, who are in the minority mind you, run the Senate. Reid let them run the Senate after the Democrats won the majority in 2006 because the Democrats did not have the votes to stop a filabuster. Well, we now have the votes to stop a filabuster. But we do not need 60 votes to pass bills. Yet, Reid won't use a little muscle to push things through. He is weakening the Democratic party and President Obama. He should step aside as majority leader.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE SENATE DEMOCRATS?

It appears, today at least, that the Senate DEMOCRATS have all but killed the prospect of a health care reform bill with a strong (if any) public option. All in the name "bipartisanship." I have news for them: there is no hope of getting the Republicans to sign on to any health care reform legislation that is meaningful and effective for the middle and lower working classes.

I do not believe for a minute that the Senate Democrats truly believe they will attain a bipartisan agreement on meaningful and effective health care reform. It is quite obvious that such a thing is hopeless, given the fact that the Republicans have two intertwined goals:

1) to "break" President Obama -"If we are able to stop Obama on this it will be his Waterloo. It will break him." Senator Jim DeMint, R-S.C.; and

2) to regain control of Congress in 2010- "We can stall it. And that's going to be a huge gain for those of us who want to turn this thing over in the 2010 election;" and "If he is unsuccessful, which I anticipate and will predict he is, on getting a vole prior to the August recess, then I would say there's no way in the world they're going to get this done this year. And next year would not be any easier." Senator Jim Inhofe, R-OK.

So, why are the Senate Democrats being such obstructionists to REAL health care reform?? Why are they, of all people, playing into the hands of the Republicans? Is it because Senator Harry Reid is a spineless, ineffective majority leader? Are these Senators too indebted to the pharmacy and health insurance lobbies?

"birthers?" Or "LUNATIC FRINGE?"

Perhaps "googly-eyed."

Enough said.
