I've never been able to figure out what Reid has been attempting to accomplish with his obvious (at least to me) Machiavellian tactics.
I am a "bleeding-heart" liberal who tracks GG's convictions almost 100%. Since Reid became the leader in the senate I have never felt that he was plugging for my causes. Ironically, I have always felt that he gave great deference to office of the president.
Often, I've said that I have never been more depressed than when I evaluate the performance of the congressional democrats especially since the 2006 elections. I feel congress supported Bush after 2006 the same as before 2006. I blame Reid.
Even though the republicans are innately evil they have the courage to fight for what they believe in. I can't say the same for Reid and his cronies.
