"I could care less what they think" .... Harry Reid

[MindMover]

Why Harry Reid keeps attacking Mitt Romney

Jon Stewart called Harry Reid “a really, really terrible person” for his unsubstantiated allegation that Mitt Romney hadn’t paid taxes for 10 years. Mitch McConnell said it was “beneath the dignity” of the majority leader’s office to make such a charge.

And conservative commentators are calling on Reid to put his money where his mouth is and release his own tax returns.

But there’s one person who couldn’t care less: Harry Reid.

The ruthless Senate majority leader sees political gold in his attack on Romney — and he’s got the blessing from President Barack Obama’s campaign for the attack, even if he lacks evidence on Romney’s failure to pay taxes.

2. Oh for goodness sakes the Obama campaign is backing this?

Ugh.

[Trajan]

7. Don't worry dfk .. Your Boy will come back with his own attack

Um ... You're still here? ... why?

[Caretha]

10. + 1000

Yes - inquiring minds want to know why "he's" still here.

[Arkana]

12. Don't worry dude--I'm sure your boy Romney will recover.

[MjolnirTime]

14. The Romney is done, dude!

[Grown2Hate]

18. Yeah! Why the FUCK would the Obama Campaign be backing a WINNING

strategy?!? Oh, wait... Fuck Rmoney, and the horse he dressaged on...

[MissMarple]

3. If Harry's playing cards, he must have a good hand.

[dkf]

6. I hope someone sneaked a peek at least.

[FirstLight]

4. ...for ALL the unsubstantiated shit over the Birth Certificate

I'd say Harry is still taking the higher road...so the GOP can SUCK IT!

this IS political gold - and I hope they tighten those thumbscrews a little more every day all those other fatcats who are hiding their money and playing the same tax games as Rmoney can SQUIRM...


though on edit, i hate that i've seen two other articles today citing Jonb Stewarts bit from last night and the 'terrible person' meme...doesn't anyone get that it is satire?

[madrchsod]

5. "ruthless"

once again politico shills for the twits...

[stanchaz]

8. WHAT are you hiding Mitt?

We have a RIGHT to se the tax returns of everyone who wants to be President!

BEFORE the Republican Convention

If Romney is not lying about paying "lots of taxes" for the last ten years....

then it probably means he's only paying 4 or 5 % on his millions

which IS "alot".... BUT...this is while the rest of us pay double-digits in percentage

and while Romney demands even MORE tax cuts for the rich! WHAT GALL!

Demand the Romney returns!

9. Give 'em hell, Harry! nt

[cheezmaka]

11. All right Mitt! Let's see what you got...

This is gonna be one good Poker Game!!!

[Skip Intro]

13. "ruthless Senate majority leader" - ?

when?

[Yavin4]

15. Wow! Non-Apologizing Democrats.

Never thought I'd see the day.

16. Romney never said

Romney never said he paid income taxes. He just said he paid lots of taxes. That could mean anything. He still may not of paid any income taxes and we won't know until he releases his taxes, unless Reid has gotten his hands on Romney's info.
Hard to believe the Obama Campaign would back Reid unless they have written proof.

[Ebadlun]

17. And to think

it's only thanks to the Tea Party that Harry's still around.

[Dustin DeWinde]

19. wtg harry

I have been frustrated in the past by the way Reid lets the GOP filibuster every decent bill in the Senate, but Reid has been showing the heart of a champion on this issue. My respect for Reid is at an all time high and climbing . Keep up the good work senator. And while you are at it do something about GOP abuse of the filibuster

[Wait Wut]

20. Agreed.

I've always liked Sen. Reid, but he's gaining in my approval meter.

Welcome to DU! Love the name!

[Warren DeMontague]

22. what's the matter with Kansas?

Welcome to DU, Dustin DeWinde!

[Avalux]

21. Ummm....Jon Stewart?

This article would have us believe Stewart was defending Romney against Reid's "unsubstantiated allegation". It's purposefully misleading.

This is a stupid article.

Reid is kicking Romney's ass, and doesn't need to prove jack shit.

23. Ruthless ? That's the LAST word I would use to describe Harry Reid nt
