Harry Reid is in da house.

Seems Reid is standing up for what he believes is right.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has his thong in a knot. (click here for article)He wants to make sure that Barack Obama knows what the real score in Washington is … Look, you may be president, but you don't mess with our pork-barrel projects. Yeah. Harry has warned the White House to "tread lightly on earmarks." If Obama tries to put any pressure on Congress to cut back on earmarks, Harry says that this will be met with strong opposition.

Harry Reid and his congressional stooges aren't there represent you. They're in this for the power. Any actual representation of the people is an error. They know that the average American will hear that the newest dog park around the corner was brought to you by Harry Reid (and countless taxpayers), and they will see him as having done good for the community. Never mind any sense of fiscal constraint or limited government.

And then, you are going to love this line. When it comes to all of this government spending, Harry Reid actually said that the "government is the only body that has any money" to spend to prop up the sagging economy.

Do you hear that, folks? Only government! Not you, the taxpayers. Not your employer or the small businesses in your community or the entrepreneurs. Government is the only thing that can save us.

Amazing. Depressing too.

Obama v/s Pelosi-Reid. This could be interesting. Of course, I think it's another bait and switch.
