Harry Reid is the poster boy for the lack of action among Democrats — no wonder he is in trouble with his reelection. Today — out of the blue — he is out saying that he wants to change the filibuster at the beginning on the next Congress (assuming he is reelected, of course). Of course, he has defended the filibuster many times in the past.
Reid has been a TOOL for getting nothing done for years and years. He is an excuse a minute — he placates the Republicans — and has no courage or guts. But like Lincoln of Arkansas they change their tune (at least briefly) when they are facing reelection problems. However, the ONLY thing the voters can do is to throw them out — there should be NO second changes. Even if they change their strips, they will resort to their old ways once they get ANOTHER SIX YEARS. Seriously! Is that STUPID or what? Six years — act like a jerk for 5 1/2 years and then promise to change — of course they don’t.
There are many things wrong with the US Constitution but one of the biggest is the US Senate. In the first place they disproportionately represent rural America. Two Senators from each state including those states with no people in them. On a map, it is the center red strip that goes through the country. I guess the founding fathers were trying to be all clever but they screwed up pretty badly with this one. No wonder the Senate is always the impediment to getting things done. So, the Senate already has an artificial bias to represent rural people and then you throw in the filibuster rule of 60 votes — minority rule on steroids. So, discount where ALL the people are — big states like Florida, California, Pennsylvania and New York get two Senators each. Meanwhile, empty states like Wyoming, Montana, Iowa, Utah, Nevada, etc. also gets two Senators. Meanwhile, NEARLY 300 bills which have passed the House will never EVER be voted on in the US Senate — it is the America’s House of Lords — where seats are handed down to children. What a stupid system.
People talk about the US Constitution with such reverence and how it has last for over 200 years — bullshit — the US Constitution is the tool of the corporatist and, like the bible, can be made to mean ANYTHING you want — my favorite: corporations are people. Install 5 crazy fucks in the Supreme Court and who knows what these assholes will come up next. That is one great piece of shit document.
America is Doomed.

Scary Harry is a gonner in November. But he has served us well over the last few years. He riminded the DumbaKRaps that “Obama is an acceptable light skinned Negro who doesn’t speak in Negro jargon, unless he wants to.” And that losing 36,000 jobs in one month is “good news”. He is such a whimpy wuss. He whines too much for me, so I really don’t listen to him unless he says something excedingly stupid or outragous. Usually, though, I don’t have to wait long for the entertainment to begin. Nevada is a good place for Harry. Alot of space out there, just like between his ears.
