Poll question: Does Harry Reid have the guts to keep the Senate in session thru the August recess?
Do you believe Harry Reid has the guts or concern for the unemployed to keep the Senate in session until the desperately unemployed can get relief? He bailed out on them by allowing the Senate to leave for the July 4th week. Will Reid do the right thing this time or will he cave-in to the republicans like he usually does?

Note: This isn't part of this poll but how in the hell has Reid been able to win any elections? He seems to have zero leadership or public speaking skills and he gives in to the republican enemy every chance he gets. Surely there are democrats in the Senate who have guts. Reid sure doesn't. And this guy used to be a boxer??? He's nothing but a punching bag in the Senate taking blow after blow from republicans without striking back. He's even having trouble winning against the idiotic and borderline insane Sharron Angle.

1. If only spinelessness and gutlessness negated each other
Maybe then we'd have an effective majority leader.

2. There isn't much of a human being left if it has no spine, guts, brain or heart.

3. So far 93% think Harry Reid doesn't give a shit about the unemployed.
There are two kinds of leaders, one you'd follow into a fire and the other you'd push into a fire. Reid is one I'd push into a fire because he's no leader. He's a goddamned coward and a third grader could lead the senate better than Reid has.

5. I'm slightly demented, but not 'mad'.
Actually it would be a perfect time because it would expose republicans as the heartless, soulless thugs they are. Even the MSM would have to air the story about how republicans want millions of unemployed to fail and be thrown out of their homes. If Reid had guts he would do it.
