Senator Harry Reid, the tough tactician who has led Senate Democrats since 2005, will not seek re-election next year, bringing an end to a three-decade congressional career that culminated with his push of President Obama’s ambitious agenda against fierce Republican resistance.
Mr. Reid, 75, who suffered serious eye and facial injuries in a Jan. 1 exercise accident at his Las Vegas home, said he had been contemplating retiring from the Senate for months. He said his decision was not attributable either to the accident or to his demotion to minority leader after Democrats lost the majority in November’s midterm elections.
“I understand this place,” Mr. Reid said. “I have quite a bit of power as minority leader.”
He has already confounded the new Republican majority this year by holding Democrats united against a proposal to gut the Obama administration’s immigration policies as well as a human-trafficking measure Democrats objected to over an anti-abortion provision.
Thank God this old corrupt Obongo mania fool is not running again, people like this moron don’t act like this, they love power, greed and money. He just didn’t wake up and decide this. he knows his polls numbers are way down and the people from his state are disgusted with him and his lawless acts. This POS is up to his eyeballs in using the park rangers to invade and harass the Bundy Ranch because he wanted his land for the Chinese to erect a solar power plant. I pray he lives a most miserable life and he croaks to death for his nasty deeds. This Obongo mania idiot has destroyed senate rules and acted in such a lawless manner its boggles the mind.
If you don’t believe that the demoncrats have someone of even further corrupt and evil inclinations lined up to take his place, then you are indeed naive.
Safe bet, he is being ‘lateraled’ to make room for a future presidential hopeful, hand selected by the pharisees who run the party from behind the curtain. His reward for stepping aside will be some extravagantly paid sinecure, with plenty of ‘influence’ still at his fingertips.
It is never cause for celebration when an evil man gets to leave public office on his own terms -- it is but evidence that we have failed to obtain justice, once again.
When corrupt politicians are leaving office via the hemp express, then it will be time to celebrate…
Lt, Naive I am not, and let me give you the name of the next runner up since you think I am naive , it would be the 2nd most corrupted senator and he is from the slum state of New York,The Talmudic Ashkenazi Khazar Jew, Chuck the Schmuck Schumer. Besides him there is a host of other names I could freely write but whats the point, the entire democrap party is corrupted, one is worse then other. so what was you point in calling me naive. get a grip.
Good riddence to this old *&^%$# !
This country will be a better place without him and his kind !
My sentiments also, he cant win another re-election and that’s why he is bowing out and the dirt bag knows it. its time this old corrupted democrap fool put himself out to pasture, hopefully he will be a neighbor to the Bundy’s who can’t stomach him, and all we can hope for is a herd of Bundy’s cows will stampede over this demonic evil OBONGO MANIA POS!!!!!
another 22 months of Dingy… Maybe we can tape his whiney girly man mouth shut?
