Rand Paul: Harry Reid Is A 'Big Bully'

[DonViejo]

CATHERINE THOMPSON – NOVEMBER 21, 2013, 2:39 PM EST

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) acted like a "bully" when he invoked the "nuclear option" to eliminate the filibuster on Thursday, according to Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY).

"I think what we really need is an anti-bullying ordinance in the Senate," Paul told CNN's Wolf Blitzer. "I mean, now we've got a big bully, Harry Reid says he's just going to break the rules and make new rules. Never been done this way before."

Democrats voted against upholding filibuster rules, rendering only a simple majority of votes necessary to end a filibuster, with the exception of Supreme Court nominees.

But Paul argued the D.C. Circuit Court doesn't face a heavy enough case load to merit confirming President Barack Obama's judicial nominees, whose filibusters prompted Reid to resort to the "nuclear option." He also accused the majority leader of moving on rules reform in order to distract from problems plaguing the Affordable Care Act.

5. Let's all laugh and point at Rand Paul!

What the Senate Democrats did today actually reminds me of a little kid who is taunted by a bully continuously and repeatedly .... and finally the kid has had enough and punches the bully a good one right in the schnoz.

In my opinion Reid and the Democrats took the bullying and boorish behavior of the obstructionist Repuglicans for far, far too long.

Today they finally punched the Senate Repuglicans in the schnoz and now listen to McConnell and Company crying and whining and moaning about how terrible it is that got what they had been asking for.

See what happens when he tries to use his own words? He could have said this about almost any other senator and probably gotten away with it. But Harry Reid?

Poor, stupid Rand.

15. The milktoast Harry Reid is a bully to milktoastier Rand Paul.

Granted Reid acted with more forcefulness this time but overall he's been pretty pussyfooted about running the Senate.

Rand Paul is kind of a Bertie Wooster without Jeeves to hold him up.
