Senate Majority Leader Harry “This War Is Lost” Reid (D-NV) lectured Republicans on patriotism today.
Glenn Thrush at The Politico reported:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) just delivered a paint-peeling denunciation of the GOP’s opposition to Democrats’ health care reform proposals — saying conservatives are so blinded by their desire to defeat President Obama they cheered the Chicago’s loss of the Olympics.
“This is the same minority that happily pumped one fist when America lost its bid to host Olympics, but shakes the other fist at those it slanders as unpatriotic.
This is the same minority that disputes indisputable evidence about how our health care plan will help seniors, or disputes indisputable evidence about our President’s birth records.”
This is the same minority that relies on distortions, distractions and deception to change the subject away from health care, rather than debate the facts in good faith.
Only 47% of Chicagoans supported the 2016 Olympic plan in a city where 85% of the vote went to Obama. It wasn’t just Republicans pumping their fists, Harry.
2010 can’t come soon enough.
