I have long been curious about how it is that old 'Dingy Harry' Reid has been able to so successfully elude those men in white coats for as long as he has. Because I would think it obvious that there is, sitting somewhere in one of our many fine psychiatric institutions in this country, a rubber room that is missing its occupant. And with 'Dingy' having made it quite obvious, earlier this week, that he could, in fact, be that very missing occupant, when he went so far as to actually imply that "anarchists" have now seized over of Congress, I just thought I'd bring it to someone's attention.
Now, if perhaps he had been, at the time, making a reference to how it is that he and his fellow Democrats have continued to run rough shod over Congress for some time now, completely ignoring the confines clearly laid out in the Constitution regarding how Congress is to operate, then I would say that, yes, he might be onto something. But that's not exactly where 'Dingy' was going when he made his rather incendiary claim. What he was talking about was those dastardly Tea Party folks. But then, since when can wishing for a more faithful adherence to the Constitution be described as anarchy?
Now you would think what's really behind old 'Dingy Harry's' toxic little rant would be transparent to anyone with more than one functioning brain cell. Because what's really got Harry's panties in a bunch is the fact that our Tea Party Republicans are attempting to prevent progress on what is a very bogus energy efficiency bill by offering up amendments on ObamaCare, as well as a few other issues. Personally, I'm all for it. So what's really going on here sounds to me to be more like whining on the part of Harry than it does about warning us about possible anarchy coming from the opposition.
Anyway, in trying to make his rather pathetic little point, Harry proceeded to complain from the Senate floor, with him spewing is typical brand of BS. He said, "We’re diverted totally from what this bill is about. Why? Because the anarchists have taken over." And in not being quite finished in trying make, what I'm sure he thought was a valid point, he proceeded to make the claim, "They’ve taken over the House and now they’ve taken over the Senate." And in further whining, he said, "People who don’t believe in government, and that’s what the Tea Party is all about, are winning, and that’s a shame."
On Wednesday, Sen. David Vitter, who is a Republican and is said to reside in the Tea Party camp, said that he would work to prevent votes on lawmakers' amendments to the proposed energy bill until he's assured that he'll get a vote on his own amendment, which would require some congressional and executive branch staff to enroll in the ObamaCare health exchanges. And of course, as expected, Harry opined, "It’s defund ObamaCare, and I guess as the fiscal year comes to an end that’s what it’s all about." Actually me thinks he does protest too much. If in the same position Harry would do the same thing.
And then we had Senate Minority Leader Mitch "The Gutless Coward" McConnell who also introduced an ObamaCare-related amendment that would delay the individual health insurance mandate for one year, and codify the Obama administration's one-year delay of requirements that employers provide insurance. "Let’s delay ObamaCare mandates for families right now," McConnell said. "Then let’s work together to repeal the bill." Sorry, but I have a very difficult time believing that McConnell is very serious when come to his threatening to repeal Obamacare.
All that Harry has done here by choosing to make such an idiotic claim, is to make it abundantly clear to just about everyone, that he is either completely ignorant regarding what brought the Tea Party into being, and what it continues to be all about, or worse, he does recognize what motivates those who affiliate with the Tea Party, and therefore feels compelled to expend every effort to portray them as being nothing more than extremists, or anarchists, who oppose any and all forms of government. So I think we now safely know what it is that he's up to. The question is, will it work?
