Need I say more?

[PonyUp]

1. Nice! n/t

[Leith]

62. Actually, It IS Nice

Sorry, PonyUp, this is not really a reply to your post. I just wanted to get what I have to say at the top.

I heard a couple days ago that Brian Sandoval might be interested in running for Senate when Harry Reid retires. Since he's fairly popular in NV, the gov would probably get it - thereby flipping the seat to a Republican.

Sandoval has already been a federal judge and he would probably be very interested in a lifelong position in Washington DC with all the prestige but without mucking around raising funds for reelection. Furthermore, he was pretty moderate for a Republican (he accepted the MedicAid expansion here). He would make a decent Supreme.

Reid is trying to raise the chances of keeping his Senate seat in Democratic hands.

Let's not underestimate the senior Senator from my state. He's crazy like a fox.

[Punkingal]

77. That POS was my senator for 9 years....

And I did a lot of work in primaries, etc, and let me tell you, no one got elected in Nevada without his say so, even Republicans. He wanted NO ONE to have any power in Nevada but his damn self. He has been known to make statements about how he would be okay with such and such a Republican getting elected. That way he had zero competition in the Democratic party there.

He has been a bad leader in the Senate and I am glad his sorry ass is retiring. He is a slimy crook.

[JohnnyRingo]

86. How did Sandoval get the job then?

In 2010 Sandoval beat Harry Reid's son by a considerable margin, yet you claim no one got elected without Harry's say so. That's some tough love there.

[Punkingal]

88. He's always trying with Rory and it never works.

But that explains why he wants to get rid of Sandoval. Interesting.

[PonyUp]

114. Your post was alerted on. n/t

[trillion]

117. Okay, are we not allowed to criticize the establishment on this board?

Is that why that person's post was alerted?

I've donated to the DNC many times so I find it hard that I'm not allowed to criticize them.

Are we allowed to list boards were people can criticize Dems and STILL Be Dems?

[PonyUp]

120. It was alerted for calling Reid a POS. It lost 5-2. n/t

[trillion]

121. Yes POS is rude.

My thing is, I'm seeing a lot of alerts. I was alerted with - GOP talking point and I've yet to figure out that one. I've never been part of the GOP or would be.

Is POS really that bad? Shouldn't we have discussion on agree or disagree with it instead of immediately alerting and banning?

[PonyUp]

122. Jury system. It is what it is. n/t

[trillion]

115. This is a defining moment for him which I think we all suspected for at least the last decade.

I no longer watch the senate. When we had a majority I did keep track and the lip service we got while our own dems sided with the republicans under the guise of the republicans being inflexible so we had to be anti-partisan on our part, was painfully obvious that we were simply being sold out. I mean, we had the majority.

[gregcrawford]

79. Good point...

... and it makes me reconsider my previous condemnation of his actions. The Hillary thing is something else again.

[californiabernin]

83. Smart! nt

[islandmkl]

95. i don't think i would trade a SCOTUS for a fucking senator...

Harry is just trying to play one last power play...and he can sit back and admire what he accomplished

[Armstead]

118. Put a bad nominee on the SC to save a Senate seat and protect his political legacy...

I'd say just crazy

[totodeinhere]

124. You just heard that? From whom? Sandoval has said that he will not run for the Senate.

If you have other information please provide a link. Just saying you heard something is not good enough.

Nevada GOP Gov. Brian Sandoval Won't Run For Senate In 2016

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/06/09/brian-sandoval-nevada-senate_n_7543028.html

[Leith]

125. Well, Since You Asked So Sweetly

It has been on NBC news feeds like the one below since yesterday morning.

http://www.nbc26.com/news/national/sources-nevada-gov-brian-sandoval-being-vetted-for-supreme-court

There is also a tweet by the Washington Post in the article with a timestamp of 10:10am EST yesterday saying the same thing.

Are NBC News and the Washington Post good enough sources? Do I have to explain myself to you any more or am I free to go?

[totodeinhere]

128. Your link shows no such thing.

The article states that Sandoval was being considered for a court pick. We all know that. But what you said was that "I heard a couple days ago that Brian Sandoval might be interested in running for Senate when Harry Reid retires." The article says no such thing. You have not substantiated your claim that Sandoval might br interested in running for the Senate. So there is no need for an attitude on your part.

[PFunk1]

2. Said, really said.

All I can say is what away to go out on Harry (and probably why Nevada's next senator will be a repug).

[JimDandy]

72. Reid is LDS and has always been a fairly conservative Democrat. n/t

[tk2kewl]

3. The 3rd Way at it's best!

[Fearless]

105. +1000!

4. Dirty Harry has been propping up GOP, and GOP-lite Candidates quite a bit this week...

This is why people are calling for a Revolution...

[fredamae]

14. Out of the gate-I think Reids tolerance of McConnells

obstruction/filibusters should have raised flags a Long time ago. I have long maintained that these Dems are neither stupid nor weak. They let it happen, imo-because it's part of the bigger picture.

[mindem]

5. Harry is old and confused. N/T

when all the Endorsements for Hillary are exhausted.

7. Harry speaks for the Oligarchy. nm

78. Gee 2 right wingers in the same day

bet that's not a record for him though

8. We knew before he was appointed ML back 11 yrs ago

that he was a traitor, owned and operated by corporate interests.

[arcane1]

15. It's sad that we've been fighting this scam for so long, and the scam remains invisible

Nowadays, they call them "Pragmatic progressives who get things done" while failing to mention that the "things getting done" are not progressive.

[Zorra]

18. The Democratic party cannot live much longer with the Third Way cancer eating

its heart and soul.

[arcane1]

19. And with the repubs wandering off to crazytown, dems would become the new conservatives.

That outcome is totally unacceptable

[Zorra]

20. That seems to be the end game of the Reaganite takeover. nt

[AlbertCat]

76. That outcome is totally unacceptable

Why is that?

They used to play the GOP's current role.... sorta...it's complicated.

Labels, y'know....

[senz]

27. "Getting things done" for who?

They always leave that part out.

[TheLogicalSong]

9. Mitch McConnell's best friend. nt

[senz]

29. Mitch McConnell tried to destroy Obama.

[lunamagica]

10. Nevada's Democratic Town hall. Sanders talks about Harry Reid

SANDERS: And let me just -- if I might, just say this as I see Harry Reid. The people of Nevada, I believe, are going to miss Harry Reid for all of his enormous accomplishment.

(APPLAUSE)

SANDERS: As well, the people of the United States. It is tough to be a Democratic leader. We are progressives. You have got more conservative people. Senator Reid has kept that coalition going. This country owes Harry Reid a real debt of gratitude.

[stevenleser]

16. LMAO, and BOOM goes the dynamite!

[senz]

39. Politicians speak tactfully to one another. You weren't aware of this?

Now best go in and change clothes after rolling around on the ground like that.

[Kelvin Mace]

30. Everybody is entitled to be wrong now and again

It's the people who make it a profession that are a problem. See Harry Reid.

[Politicalboi]

54. Was he supposed to speak the truth?

[earthside]

11. There is a reason Democrats are the minority in the Senate.

The timorous and irresolute Harry Reid is exhibit number one of how a risk averse, rightward tilting political strategy doesn't work.

[jillan]

12. Amen to that & it is also a reason why Dems don't bother to vote esp in mid-terms.

[stranger81]

22. What's to vote for? Vote for a republican, get a republican. Vote for a democrat, get a republican.

Heads I win, tails you lose.

What a bunch of f&*$ing suckers we are.

[jwirr]

31. You my friend have just hit the nail on the head. This is

exactly why many do not think they will gain anything if they have to vote for Hillary in the GE.

[CorporatistNation]

33. YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

VOTE SANDERS!

[SammyWinstonJack]

74. +1000000.

[PFunk1]

91. It's also a reason why so few folks are voting now

After all why vote if you all your options are the same and are lousy.

[senz]

42. Perfect.

Thank you!

[Divernan]

49. Actually it's "Heads they win, tails I lose." for us progressives

[Attorney in Texas]

13. Reid ought to limit himself to endorsing no more than one conservative corporatist per day

[cascadiance]

123. But, he doesn't have anything to lose to get reelected... Just has to worry about revolving door...

... privileges of where he winds up next. Gotta treat those corporate money folks well if he wants to have a good "retirement" job somewhere!

[nashville_brook]

17. that's exactly what it's going to be like under another Clinton admin

more Republican appointments, more appeasement, more disappointment.

but, by all means blue doggies, please proceed.

[Agschmid]

21. Hmmm not a fan of that guy for Supreme Court.

[nichomachus]

23. Harry just doomed Hillary in the GE -- should she muscle her way into it

Once the GE campaigning starts, Hillary's only two selling points to get real progressives to hold their noses and vote for herare the "lesser of two evils" shit and "Booga, booga, booga -- Supreme Court." If Obama names a centrist or right winger to the court, she's down to "lesser of two evils." And with her dismal record of "accomplishments," even that argument is catastrophically weak sauce.

[jillan]

24. Excellent point. Why should we vote for Hillary if this is what we can expect. Bingo!!

[DonCoquixote]

101. add to your excelent point

That after the sheer reign of terror that was Nino Scalia, most of us will want someone that will UNDO THE DAMAGE he did, not reinforce it. The GOP is scared because someone competent could wreck their nice little conservative machine. In true form, Harry is willing to ruin that so he can get rid of a rival, so Debbie Wasserman Schultz can run another DINO that will get their ass kicked.

[WillyT]

25. Turd Way Politics...

Vichy Democrats backing the enemy.

28. Two WINS for The Establishment and Wall Street in one day!

I might not like it, but I have a clear understanding that TPTB prefer it that way.

[still_one]

32. He is pro choice, but not for federal funding of abortion. He definitely leans to the right

but is not an extreme right winger

All in all, not a good choice

I remain skeptical on the news reports

I wish he would appoint Lynch

[Duval]

40. Lynch would be good. nt

[alfredo]

34. The Repub nominee ruse is to raise anxiety in the GOP.

Obama and Reid are calling their bluff.

[monicaangela]

84. Their objective is...

to block President Obama.....PERIOD...I don't believe they would even accept a GOP nominee at this point.

OT: Hope all is well with you.

[alfredo]

94. That's the belief.

I will be in the hospital tomorrow and Friday to get a biopsy and a PEG. This should be interesting.

[monicaangela]

99. That sounds serious

Do you have a problem with your throat, digestive track, or what? I hope the results of your biopsy are benign. My prayers will be with you. Hoping you get well soon.

[alfredo]

103. It's serious, but not that serious. It's Melanoma that was caught early. I'll be OK.

[monicaangela]

106. I'm really happy to hear that freddy!

[zentrum]

35. So he supports

..two moderate republicans in a single day.

[malthaussen]

37. It will be interesting to see whom Mr Obama does nominate...

... if anyone. "In due course" leaves a lot of wriggle room.

Lately, there have been those who have argued that Mr Obama is tired of trying to make nice and appease the GOP to "get stuff done." Hence executive orders that have been more progressive than otherwise. His choice as nominee will tell us much about what his mind-set truly is. Which is, in fact, one reason why "due course" may be a lot longer than many seem to think.

-- Mal

[LiberalLovinLug]

38. The stonewalling of the GOP to any Obama pick is a blessing

Because Obama, if he predictably follows his pattern of desperately trying to find something, anything, that he can conjole the GOP senators to pass for him in order to add a bi-partisan credential to his legacy, will pick someone like this as his nominee. And Reid will gladly strong-arm Democrats to vote in favour as well.

Go ahead GOP, make my day...lets wait for President Bernie to nominate a candidate. And if its Hillary, really nothing to lose at least by waiting.

[Fuddnik]

65. Here comes the Ted Cruz nomination!

[LiberalLovinLug]

111. ???

So you are predicting a Ted Cruz Presidential win. really?

[INdemo]

41. Also it was announced that

Reince Priebus has endorsed Hillary Clinton

[FiveGoodMen]

48. Probably not as ironic as it was meant to be

I'll bet the PTB would rather -- much rather -- deal with Hillary than with a loose cannon like Trump.

[Dustlawyer]

43. When will they nominate a Trial Lawyer to SCOTUS, someone who has represented the people?

Not some tort reforming blowhard eager to take away your rights to sue corporations!

[rnk6670]

44. I support the blockade

of SCOTUS nominations if this is the shit we're gonna get, then hold that shit till after the election. Not to mention - this is why I support Bernie and won't be shitting my vote down the Clinton toilet. NO. MORE. BULLSHIT. Time for an actual liberal in the white house.

[UglyGreed]

45. Imagine that

I'm shocked

[Jackilope]

46. Selective spines. Stand up for people? No.

Corporations and 1%, yes. Tired of a rigged system.

[PatrynXX]

47. Harry Reid , the guy I called Conservative long before it became cool to call Hillary one

oh duh. albeit didn't she just piss him off over how WHITE nevada was

[Milliesmom]

50. Check him out

http://gov.nv.gov/

[CharlotteVale]

51. No, that says it all.

[Betty Karlson]

52. Republicans, DINOs, it's all one to him...

[Sienna86]

55. Didn't that Governor help undo solar in Nevada?

What is going on?

[Deadshot]

56. What's the point of voting in Democrats who support Republicans?

And it's no surprise he endorses Hillary Clinton. She's basically a Republican anyways.

[Bernblu]

100. The Republican and Democrat establishment need to merge

into the party of the 1%. So, we can have a party of the bottom 90%.

[Deadshot]

110. I agree.

[hifiguy]

108. The two "parties" are now two wings of the same party:

The Money Party.

Which is why we need Bernie so badly.

[Waiting For Everyman]

57. I'm sure glad a Dem POTUS was there to choose a justice.

Tell me again why we have to make sure a Dem is elected.

[Politicalboi]

58. Reid endorses 2 Republicans in the same day

Shocked I tell ya. Goodbye Harry.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

59. Get rid of him! I hope he's going to be primaried.

[Divernan]

61. He's not running for re-election

Reid formally announced on March 27, 2015 that he will retire at the end of his current term on January 3, 2017, saying that his recent injuries and subsequent recovery had nothing to do with his decision.[1][2][3]

Criticism

Liberal critics have argued that Reid was not doing enough to end the American military presence in Iraq,[38] and that he allowed Senate Republicans to create a 60-vote bar for passage of bills without a Democratic filibuster.[39][40][41] Conservatives have criticized Reid for his extensive use of the procedural tactic known as "Filling the tree" to prevent amendments on important bills.[42]

Reid has also been criticized for several potentially self-enriching tactics. In 2005, Reid earmarked a spending bill to provide for building a bridge between Nevada and Arizona that would make land he owned more valuable. Reid called funding for construction of a bridge over the Colorado River, among other projects, "incredibly good news for Nevada" in a news release after passage of the 2006 transportation bill. He owned 160 acres (65 ha) of land several miles from the proposed bridge site in Arizona. The bridge could add value to his real estate investment.[43] A year later it was reported that Reid had used campaign donations to pay for $3,300 in Christmas gifts to the staff at the condominium where he resides;[44] federal election law prohibits candidates from using political donations for personal use. Reid's staff stated that his campaign attorneys had approved this use of the funds, but that Reid would personally reimburse his campaign for the expenses. Citizens United filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission to investigate the matter.[45]

A series of investigative reports in the Los Angeles Times[46][47][48][49] suggested that Reid had introduced legislation and imposed pressure on regulatory agencies to advance the business interests of his close friend Harvey Whittemore, a Nevada attorney-lobbyist who contributed heavily to Reid's campaigns and leadership fund and who employed Reid's son Leif as his personal attorney. With Reid's help, Whittemore was able to proceed with construction of a $30 billion planned golf course development, Coyote Springs, a project heavily criticized by environmental groups for reasons including its projected effects on several endangered species.[50][51]

[JudyM]

80. Will be good to have him gone. Hopefully to be replaced by someone a bit more progressive.

[PFunk1]

92. Unlikely

That seat is probably gonna go repug in the next election as there's now qualified candidate which can win it from them.

[JudyM]

113. Hoping Bernie's candidacy will be a rallying cry for progressives to step up through the country.

[Elmer S. E. Dump]

96. So this is his final statement to the American people.

I'm calling my lawyer to have him change my will.

[Divernan]

60. Harry's a Hollow Man, whose political world ends not with a bang, but with a whimper!

TS Eliot - The Hollow Men

We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us - if at all - not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.
http://www.artofeurope.com/eliot/eli2.htm

"The Hollow Men" (1925) is a poem by T. S. Eliot. Its themes are, like many of Eliot's poems, overlapping and fragmentary, but it is recognized to be concerned most with post-World War I Europe under the Treaty of Versailles (which Eliot despised).

The final stanza may be the most quoted of all of Eliot's poetry:

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

Nevil Shute's novel, On the Beach (1957), takes its name from the second stanza of Part IV of the poem and extracts from the poem, including the passage in which the novel's title appears, have been printed in the front papers of some editions of the book including the 1957 first US edition.[19]


IV

The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms
In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

63. Is Sandoval tied to the Reid/ICE/Organized Crime scandal? (nt)

[longship]

64. The number of Democrats under the bus is getting rather large.

"Self inflicted Bar-B-Que; we're cooking our own goose." (Quote, Snagglepuss. Exit stage left.)

Sheesh!

[tblue37]

66. He is more liberal than many Dem office holders:

Sandoval’s problems aren’t exactly unique: John Kasich, a friend of the governor’s, likes to tout his centrist agenda in Ohio. But even compared to Kasich, Sandoval’s record wouldn't be easy to embrace if you're running for president. The tax increases Sandoval signed have since funded a landmark overhaul in public education—likely to become his signature achievement and a bold gamble meant to turn around what is frequently ranked the worst state education system in the country. Yet education is simply the most recent of a long list of Sandoval’s conservative heresies: The abortion rights governor has embraced Obamacare; lauded immigration reform and DREAMers; fiercely championed renewable energy; and taken lesser known actions on police body cameras, driver’s licenses for undocumented aliens and multiple moves to squelch Republican-led tort reform.

Read more: http://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2016/02/nevada-primary-brian-sandoval-213668#ixzz417kejURh

Obama would really mess up the Repub senators with a Sandoval nomination--and he would protect rights we want protected.

[PragmaticLiberal]

112. Yep. I'm not advocating Sandoval but the people freaking out should probably research him a bit.

IF you're going to nominate a Republican he's probably the best case scenario.

[George II]

67. Why do you have the last article first?

[JonLeibowitz]

102. Because Hillary is a Republican, if not in name. n/t

[Phlem]

68. A fucking Republican?

He's always been iffy but now we have confirmation.

He needs to be primaried, yesterday.

Fuck you very much Harry.

[MaeScott]

69. That is so disappointing. nt

[Ferd Berfel]

71. Fucking Corporate Dems

Screwing Americans since 1985

But Reid has always been a coward

[Gamecock Lefty]

73. And yet . . .

Some Bernie supporters love telling us how he being supported by Independents and even some Republicans.

Need I say more?

[davidthegnome]

81. Actually, yes.

What exactly are you suggesting? Yes, a lot of independents are going to vote for Bernie - and some republicans might, too. What does this have to do with Reid endorsing Clinton AND a republican supreme court nominee on the same day? Are you suggesting that, because Sanders is getting some independent and republican support that he is a republican? Are you suggesting that Sanders supporters are? What exactly are you suggesting? Please, do elaborate.

[gregcrawford]

75. Reid, you were once a boxer...

... but now you're throwing the fight for obnoxious Tea Party bullies with oppositional/defiance disorder. Sandoval may be whatever passes for moderate these days, but he's still a fucking REPUBLICAN! Shame on you.

[iamthebandfanman]

82. Down with the party bosses!

Break free from the chains of their oppression!
its time to take this party back for the FDR democrats that are still left and haven't become jaded!

we broke the party bosses in the early 20th century and its time to clean house again!

[JohnnyRingo]

85. He's probably getting even with Sandoval

Brian Sandoval beat Harry Reid's son for the statehouse in 2010. This is one way to get rid of him. hahaha

Kidding aside, this is less of an endorsement and more of a concession that if Sandoval is offered up, Reid would support the president's nomination decision. Having said that, he's far from being a right wing religious nut job like his predecessor and is already considered one of the front runners for the gig. Imagine the Republicans having to find excuses to shun him.

As for Reid endorsing Clinton, that's no surprise as 39 other member of the Senate already have, including my own, the great Sherrod Brown. Bernie has one (1).

[EndElectoral]

87. Oh God..C'mon Reid, show at least a little discretion

[Omaha Steve]

89. Harry used smoke & mirrors to go after Alan Grayson

Why the case against Alan is so wrong!

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027610592

[elljay]

90. We need to respond ASAP!

We need to get out front of this before Obama makes a Republican appointment. We need each and every Bernie and Hillary supporter to let it be know that we do not want a Cliven Bundy supporter on the SCOTUS!

Does anyone here have some familiarity with creating petitions either on the White House site or through MoveOn? I'd offer the following language (feel free to edit if you want to run with this!)

President Obama: No Republican Appointment to the SCOTUS

President Obama - You have faced an unprecedented level of obstructionism from the Republicans in Congress. Millions of Americans voted for you twice and have stood up for you during the repeated attacks on your character, competence, and accomplishments. It is now your turn to stand up for us by not caving in to Republican pressure by nominating Brian Sandoval to the Supreme Court. The majority of people in this country do not want to be saddled for the next 30 years by a justice who opposes our values. Please stand firm and we will stand with you!

[Jester Messiah]

93. So, two Republicans, then? n/t

[Bernblu]

98. Yes, two Republicans in the same day.

Nice work if you can get it and you're a corrupt asshat like Reid.

[Bernblu]

97. This is proof that the Democratic and Republican establishments should merge

They already have on issues of the 1%. Reid is a tool of the establishment and the casino owners. We really need Bernie to clean up the Democratic Party or a new party for the 90%.

[noretreatnosurrender]

104. Not Today

Harry Reid endorsed Clinton during the Nevada Caucuses.

[trillion]

119. I find it disturbing and sad myself.

It's speaks a lot for supporting the establishment - specifically the 1% who rule it and are in Hillary's super pacs.

[noretreatnosurrender]

129. Reid Declared He Was Neutral

He was far from neutral. This endorsement was merely confirming what everyone already knew was true when he was "neutral".

[hifiguy]

107. Well,

[UglyGreed]

109. Wait didn't Harry have a B rating from the NRA????

and Hillary gave him a shout out at the NV town hall last week........ Well Harry's B is better than Bernie's D-

[beedle]

116. Typical 3rd way tactic

Start the negotiations are the center right, then bargain rightward until they replace one right wing nut job with another.

[HooptieWagon]

126. At least he's consistant.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

127. How...convenient.
