Harry Reid Thinks Susan Collins is a Racist

Oh, that Harry Reid. Apparently according to the Senate majority leader, people who oppose the government takeover of health care are the same as people who opposed ending slavery. Yes Virginia, if you oppose ObamaCare you’re essentially a racist. And while I anxiously await all the serious journalists at NBC News and the NY Times (as opposed to the fake ones on Fox) to call on every Democrat to denounce Reid the same way they’d call on Republicans to denounce Glen Beck, I take solace on the general rule of thumb: when you have to resort to the race card, you’ve lost the argument.

I can only assume he’s speaking specifically at cats like Senator Tom Coburn from Oklahoma. The equation usually goes white + male + southern + having a different opinion from a liberal = racist. Damn all those radical white southern conservative who are standing in the way of the President doing what he wants like…um, Joe Lieberman and…SUSAN COLLINS?!? But she’s a squishy moderate RiNO?

That may be the case to some, and while she did support the stimulus bill, apparently she has the audacity to oppose HCR (specifically the Trojan horse to a single payer system public option) and even gives and example why. It failed miserably when they tried it in her home state of Maine…

Mitt Romney Announces His Candidacy for…Senate?!?

I know I jokingly hit you with headlines like “Mitt Romney Announces His Candidacy for President” or “My Exclusive Interview with Mitt Romney,” but there might actually be some truth to this one. The buzz on the Internet is that Romney is considering a move to Nevada to run against current Sen. Harry Reid in 2010.

I can’t verify the accuracy of the website, but the rationale for the move makes a modicum of sense…

I received a tip from one of my best and most trusted sources that Mitt Romney was contemplating moving to Nevada to take on Harry Reid in 2010. The thinking was explained to me like this: Palin has so much grassroots support and will exert such gravity from the right flank in the 2012 Republican Primaries, that something dramatic would be needed to overcome her built-in advantage. Taking out the sitting Democratic Senate Majority Leader would do just that. Can you just imagine? It would be absolutely epic…

Then there’s also this…

Should Republicans Block Burris from the Senate?

So, last Tuesday, BLAGO! appointed some cat named Roland Burris (fmr IL Attorney General) to fill Barack Obama’s vacated senate seat. Harry Reid and the other Democrats had threatened not to seat anyone that BLAGO! appointed (apparently he’s involved in a minor legal scrape) and plan on backing up their word. Burris, for his part, is planning on taking it to the highest court to make sure that he’s seated.

There’s been some discussion as to whether or not Republican’s should block Burris from this senate seat. I say this with all love and affection to my Republican brethren who think we should block him…are you people fucking kidding me?

Set aside the fact that the Governor, regardless of what he’s been accused of doing, has the legal right to fill any empty senate seats…the longer this goes on the longer it’s in the news, and in 2009 and beyond BLAGO! is the new face of the Democrat Culture of Corruption. Charlie Rangel and Chris Dodd just don’t seem to have the same panache.
