Reid Says He Prevented Worldwide Depression, Schultz Doesn't Bat An Eye
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Thursday's "Ed Show" actually said he prevented a worldwide depression.
When he did, the host of the program didn't even bat an eye (video follows with transcript and commentary, h/t Hot Air):
HARRY REID, SENATE MAJORITY LEADER: Nevada, for 20 years, was at the top of the economic food chain. If you wanted a good job, come to Nevada. If you wanted to invest in real estate, no place better in America than Nevada. If you wanted to get a good job, come to Nevada.
Well, when Wall Street collapsed, which, by the way, she said it was caused because of too much regulation -- we had farther to fall than any other state.
ED SCHULTZ, HOST: The state has dropped farther than any other state?
REID: Oh yes, because we were at the top and we`ve fallen very hard. So people have been hurting, and I understand that, and it doesn`t give them comfort or solace for me to tell them, you know, but for me we'd be in a worldwide depression. They want to know what I've done for them, and that`s why it's important for me, any chance I get, to say that my number one job is to create jobs. And she says that it's not her job to create jobs.
But for me we'd be in a worldwide depression?
Harry Reid single-handedly prevented an economic slide of epic proportions?
Nothing done by the previous president, the former president, other legislators, or other governments around the world had a hand in halting such a collapse assuming things really were as bad in the fall of 2008 as folks like Reid were telling us?
Frankly, this was about as arrogant a statement as ever uttered on national television by anyone other than Mohammed Ali.
Did Schultz challenge the Majority Leader? Not at all:
SCHULTZ: Do you think this kind of rhetoric going back and forth is going to help the early voting? I mean, I've read that upwards -- the majority of people in this state do early voting. Does that play to your favor?
Nice work, Ed. You should be so proud of yourself.

Does anyone now fully comprehend why those of us Nevada Republicans cannot stand this guy?
He embarasses this state, profanes his office, and I for one resent his enjoyment of the perks of citizenship in this country. His late tactics clearly mark him as someone not seriously to be considered as American.
We want him out.
I can't stand scarce to look at him.

Harry Reid is the reason we are in a world wide depression. I know the key words here are recession and double dip, but fact of the matter is, we are experiencing depression. The unemployment numbers are missleading, to say the least. Real unemployment is between 18 and 20%. Just because you run out of unemployment benifits, don't mean your all of a sudden "employed".
France is burning themselves up, Greece is headed for another fall, the UK is cutting back on socialist programs and cutting 500,000 jobs, Germany and the EU? Greece is so far into debt to them, when Greece defaults on the loan they got, the whole of the EU will fail. Thus the EU will be no more.

Actually, it doesn't surprise me at all that Harry the Weasel would say this, or that Sgt. Shultz would just sit there and accept it..............between the two, the 'common sense/grasp of reality' factor is probably single-digit.............

So when I meet Harry and Obama, whose ring do I kiss first?
Actually my debate would be (and I quote the lying, gutless, fraud in chief) "Whose ass do I kick first"?
I am looking for a tag team partner (not out of need) but out of sharing in the bounty of beating the living snot out of both of these frauds....
Remember, Conservatives are far more giving and charitable than the other "people".
Man up Harry Reid

I think Harry suffers with delusions of adequacy. I'm not sure he's capable of manning up.
What the?

You WANT that ... that... words escape me for a proper perjorative for Reid.... You WANT him to man up?
No, leave him be his delusional power-mad self, for all the world to see. The better to get him out of our pockets*, our lives, and our Senate. Let him go back to Searchlight and fade into a devastated, deserved state of irrelevancy.

*Inasmuch as we CAN get him out. The retirement package for congresscritters, from two year flops in the House to 24 year infestations like Reid, is the same, substantial, out of OUR taxes, and needs tossing out.
