So at this particular point in time, and being not sure if he’s delusional, exhibiting what can only be said to be a rather severe case of wishful thinking, or if, perhaps, he has been recently diagnosed with Dementia, ‘Dingy Harry Reid, the scumbag Democrat who happens to be the leader of the U.S. Senate, is exuding an uncommon level of confidence regarding the 2014 elections. But no matter what the case, he actually makes the claim that Obamacare will undoubtedly prove to be a very big benefit on which Senate Democrats will be able to run. He seems to be under the impression that it will be something that the Democrats can very proudly brag about. Now if you’re one of those folks who happen to possess even the slightest amount of intelligence, I would think that you would have to be asking yourself, "What the Hell is he talking about?" I guess he figures that if he says it enough, people will believe it.
Reid told ‘The Hill’, "I think for sure it will be a net positive. I think so by then for sure." ‘Dingy’ was delighted that Phil Schiliro, a senior White House adviser now in charge of implementing Obamacare, met with Senate Democratic incumbents in danger of losing their seats in 2014. He gushed, "Phil Schiliro ... came up today and had a good meeting with my 2014ers. The discussions were led by [Senate Majority Whip Dick] Durbin [(D-IL)] and it was an extremely positive, good meeting. That’s what we’ve needed from the White House for some time now, is someone to be able to reach out to." He noted that White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough is a "good person but he’s overwhelmed with work, and he did not have the capacity, which is time, to do the hands-on work that is necessary with my senators." ‘Dingy’ has quite obviously gone round the proverbial bend.
‘Dingy’ criticized senior White House staffers for their lack of answers when the Obamacare rollout fizzled. "There was a period of time there where there were no questions that were answered because they were so overwhelmed with trying to get that program fixed… The only thing I want from the White House in 2014 is for them to be available to my senators who are running for reelection." And then, whether he was trying to convince himself, or others, old ‘Dingy’ expressed that he was rather ‘hopeful’ when it came to the topic of discussing Barry "Almighty’s" rather low poll numbers. He stated loftily, "His numbers are going to go up. It's a question of what's gone on with this healthcare thing. It will get better. I've seen this over the years. You'd be surprised what three months' difference makes." Reid also has big plans of his own, saying of 2014:
"We’re going to come back and we’re going to do unemployment. I’m pleased that as I understand it that [Sen.] Jack Reed [D-RI] and [Sen.] Dean Heller [R-NV] are going to be the people who are going to move the bill forward. Then we’re going to do flood insurance. Then we’re going to do minimum wage. Those things are not going to take care of the income inequality although it would help significantly. And then we have [to] process important nominations."
‘Dingy’ sounded very confident in that he doesn’t think that the Republicans will get the six Senate seats that they need to gain a majority in 2014. He sounded very much like a man who intends to stay in his current position well into the next decade. "I don’t want to do it more than eight more years," he said of serving as his party’s leader in the Senate, in another interview with CQ Roll Call. ‘Dingy’ will be up for re-election in 2016 and has said he intends to run again. He reiterated that intention again on Wednesday and indicated he’s looking forward to serving another full term running the Senate. If he and Democrats are able to hold onto power that long, ‘Dingy’ would be the leader for 16 years, matching the current record set by the legendary Montana Democrat Mike Mansfield. ‘Dingy’ celebrated his 74th birthday earlier this month, meaning he would be into his 80s by the time his next term would end at the beginning of 2023.
As long as he remains leader, ‘Dingy’ said he would not rule out more changes to Senate rules and precedents as a way to impose further limits on debate and filibusters. As those who have been paying attention are already aware, it was just last month that ‘Dingy’ used the "nuclear option" to eliminate filibusters on most nominations. While attempting to make it sound that he is in no way eager to make more changes in the immediate future, he wouldn’t rule it out either. "I hope we don’t, and I hope it’s not necessary," ‘Dingy’ said, noting the increase in the number of filibusters over the past several decades. "I’m not precluding anything. It’s just according to how we get along here." Right, as long as Barry gets what he wants, I guess there won’t be more changes. If it were the Republicans doing that which ’Dingy’ has done, and has made clear he is willing to do again, Democrats would be screaming bloody-murder.
‘Dingy Harry’ is nothing more than a walking, talking piece of shit. But I tell ya, and I gotta be honest here in that I’m not a big fan of the guy on our side, Mitch McConnell, who would assume the position of leader of the Senate, should our side actually gain the majority come next November. I’m afraid the only upside to that would be the fact that ‘Dingy’ would no longer have the job. If I was confident that McConnell would act just a bit more like ‘Dingy’, in some instances, and a little less as the gutless wimp that he is, I might be more optimistic. Of course, having said that, I’m also hoping that his primary challenger, Mr. Matt Bevin, can somehow win, but I doubt we’ll be so lucky. That will most assuredly be an uphill battle as McConnell can call in many favors. So I guess the best we can hope for is to work toward achieving a Republican majority in Congress, and keep our fingers crossed that McConnell will somehow grow a spine.
