The Majority Leader

The United States Senate is led today by Senator Harry Reid, a Democrat from Nevada. Senator Reid reminds me of a small town undertaker. He speaks in soft terms and impresses me with his insincerity. Reid complains about the tactics used by the minority to block his legislative agenda. Funny thing that. The minority is using the same tactics Reid used when he was minority leader. I guess it really does depend upon whose ox is being algored.

I wish the Congress would pass the necessary spending bills and go on vacation. In fact, the Congress can stay on vacation if they want. It will save the American people loads of money and will be much cheaper to pay the Congress their salaries while they are on vacation than to have them in Washington. While in Washington Congress wastes our money, engages in silly publicity stunts, makes fools of themsleves, and adds nothing positive to the national discourse.

Afterall, why do we need hundreds of new laws when thousands of old laws are not enforced anyway?

Senator Reid is the face of the current US Senate. It is not a pretty sight. And Reid deserves all the criticism I can muster for his ill mannered behavior and petty partisan approach to every issue.
