15. Then why is the OP worried about what Harry isn't SAYING
As oppose to what he isn't doing.

And besides, the new Congress hasn't even started yet. I'm sure things will get interesting pretty quickly once they convene.

23. Yup.
I was actually laughing quite heartily at the fact you voted for the loser greens. So thanks for adding that sentiment to my post. That definitely makes it more accurate.

13. He doesn't say much, is true. But he's not afraid.
If the mob in Las Vegas didn't scare him, the Republicans sure don't.

He's strategic in what he does and says.

Give em hell, Harry!

16. I'd give Harry a vote of no confidence...
starting and ending with his abysmal lack of leadership on the MCA.

18. We don't need new ones
We have some effective ones now, why change? You forget Harry Reid once shut down the Senate over intelligence.

20. Yes, they need new leadership because
Pelosi and Reid have no interest in leading. They really don't.

And we don't have to wait to find out if it's true because -- surprise, surprise for some of you -- they've been in leadership positions for some time now, and have done nothing but lead Dems in Congress away from standing up to Bush.
