Reid Between the Lines

21 April 2007

Sorry but I stole that headline from Family Research Council. Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, has said the decision by the Supreme Court to uphold the federal partial birth abortion ban should have included O’Connor instead of Alito. The clear implication is that it would have been decided the other way under such circumstances. But Reid has repeatedly described himself as pro-life. Indeed, every time there has been an opportunity to vote on a partial birth abortion ban, Reid has voted in favor of. Reid, in fact, voted for the very law the Supreme Court ruled on in this case. So Reid apparently wants it both ways. He wants to go on record as support pro-life legislation but he doesn’t actually want such legislation to become law.

On another front, Reid again shot himself in the foot. This week at the National Press Club Reid said that the war in Iraq is lost.

So Reid believes that the war is lost and the the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of State know this to be true. At the same time, Reid does not support withdrawing funding for the war. This is the height of hypocrisy and Harry Reid is on the verge of committing treason. Democrats in general have constantly engaged in activity that encourages our enemies for the purpose of consolidating political power. Now Reid has given considerable aid and comfort to our enemies by declaring that we have lost this war.

Harry Reid is either a moron or he is so consumed with political power that he will do and say anything to gain it. Either way he has no business being in the Senate. His constituents should do whatever it takes to replace him. Tom Daschle discovered that there was a price to pay for demagoguery and it is high time his replacement made the same discovery.
