Default Re: Harry Reid is the Man...Maybe...

[ QUOTE ]
Democrats Force Senate Into Iraq Meeting

Harry Reid is the Man. Showing that Democrats know brass knuckle politics too. And doing it for all the right reasons. What are the sissy Republicans going to do now? Whine like Bill Frist that they are hijacking the Senate? Well sissy Republicans, do your job, or we'll do it for you. Harry Reid is the Man.

I think in the short term this was a good move: Brings back the Libby Indictment, Cheney, and the whole WMD. Its done in a "extreme" fashion that gets the rumor mills of the MSM media milling. This was a shot across the bow of the Repubs. Stopped the bleeding this week for a time...

In the long term, I think this is a poor move. This move however good in the short term will consolidate the Republican vote and fire up the base. That is the last thing that the Democrates want if they want to defeat Alito. They may have resigned the fact that they wont defeat Alito and now they are starting the Great Senate War.

Jeez, We are going to the mattresses. Cleaning out the bad blood. This could be one of the greatest bloodletting in American Government history.
