This post on Senator Harry Reid opens with evidence to support the position that not only does he lack the ability to determine when it is time for politics and when is it time to support the troops. He also lacks the class to fulfill his obligation for proper respect for visiting heads of state or other dignitaries He has no problem with Nancy Pelosi’s poor judgment on ‘diplomatic’ missions to Syria but he cannot see his way clear to attend a state affair in honor of the Queen of England.

Harry Reid Passes on White-Tie Affair With British Queen

KLAS-TV, NV - May 7, 2007
Nevada senator Harry Reid decided to not accept his invitation, but many others will be there. It was a day of high pomp and pageantry and the weather …

But with Harry there are always bigger fish for us to fry. Like his adverse affect on the American people and worse, the troops serving in defense of our country. There is a headline out there and at least one blog reference to an op-ed post that makes very little sense. For those of you on the right or independents, here is some more fodder for why many on the left are proving they have lost their minds.

Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi can make bipartisan history on Iraq

By Brent Budowsky

George Washington must be banging his fist in heaven at the damage inflicted from home on American troops in Iraq.
Enough. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) can change American history by standing hard for 60-to-90-day funding for the war, requiring a new vote by August, and leading a landmark new policy supporting troops and vets.

First of all, the initial link was to a post on one of TPM’s user areas with a blog reference from a user who linked to the above op-ed at The Hill.com. The reason it was interesting on first glance was trying to guess how the Dems could make bipartisan history on Iraq. After reading the TPM poster’s comment it was still a mystery. This inquiry was not made any easier by the poster with a link to their site and a bad link to the Hill. Leaving an extra ‘/’ at the end of a link would normally be excused as a simple typo. But in this case it only served to suggest there was little that would make sense in all of this bipartisan history talk.

After reading the op-ed at the Hill, the author of the opinion is just as much in error as the person posting the comment at TPM. Excuse the assumption that a comment at TPM and a link to an op-ed the commenter found appealing are all three left biased. Especially when the resume’ history given by the author of the op-ed includes work for various Democratic party entities.

The dribble presented by the sources above draw the conclusion that Reid and Pelosi can get credit for fixing everything the way the left wants it, renaming it patriotic and in support of the troops and convincing the public and the other side of the aisle that this is the right thing to do. That these two people contend they actually believe their own words is one of the most incredible collections of madness on display lately. If this is the standard fare that one can expect from those who support the Democratic party, it should be easy to eliminate their newly found majority in the next election.

There are some scary folks out there on the left. This would not be the first mention of that fact. But it is the first time this blog has not dismissed it as just a little craziness around the fringe. The comment at TPM could have been discounted as just such a fringe anomaly. But an op-ed posted at the Hill is more disconcerting that people in actual jobs and positions within the Democratic ranks share the insanity of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi.

Fortunately, there are numbers growing to combat this insanity. A recent effort widely reported and responded to as well as being mentioned on this blog is the We Win, They Lose initiative. In addition, one group that has been around for a while and is openly against Harry Reid is Oppose Senator Harry Reid. These are just two of the recent additions to the sane world that seek to overcome the dangerous ideas of the fringe left. Again, we would like to declare we are non-partisan, independents. But that does not preclude taking action opposing insane positions on the left or supporting sane initiatives on the right. We only wish that there were more cases of the reverse but lately that is not the case.

Here is a story written about Oppose Senator Harry Reid:

Harry Reid the Target of Activist Group

By Josh Hart
May 8, 2007
Harry Reid, the name-calling US Senate leader has come under fire from a group that wants to challenge US Senator John Ensign (R-NV) to end his silence on Reid’s ‘the war is lost’ mantra that gained so much attention earlier. The group plans protests against Reid in Nevada and DC calls him ‘an embarrassment to Nevada.’

Both political parties are capable of wrongdoing. The problem with allowing the Dems wrongdoing is that it is much more dangerous than that of GOP mistakes. GOP wrongdoing can be fixed. The same cannot be said of the wrongdoing supported by the Dems. Complete lack of support for the troops and success with the war in Iraq is a widely held position in the Democratic party. It is held by all 2008 Democratic party candidates. By failing to openly oppose her husband’s wrongdoing in office Hillary Rodham Clinton shows her complicity, not any admirable quality of the phrase ’stand by your man’. If they commit bad acts, you don’t stand behind them unless you concur.

Edwards and Obama also fail to support the troops. The Dems support partial birth abortion and oppose the Supreme Court decision in Gonzales v Carhart. This has changed this writer from a long time pro-choice stance to that of entirely against Roe v Wade, etc. This would indicate their support of embryonic stem cell research would result in turning abortion clinics into stem cell farms. All of which I thought laughable in the past. Their response to the Supreme Court decision uncovered their true intentions with an indisputable admission of guilt.

The sins of the GOP thus far can be resolved and any damage repaired. But the dangerous path the Dems seek has begun to scare the hell out of me. I still find it hard to believe they could be this far off base. Their other viewpoints on national security, border control, defense, health care, education and Global Warming, etc., have helped to shine light on an ideology that must be confronted. It will be tough to remain independent if the Dems cause the need to regularly favor their opponents. Party politics is still unpleasant on either side. The GOP is just not as dangerous as current Democratic party philosophy.
