All kidding aside, Reid is a lot of things. Incompetent, he is not. He is accomplishing EXACTLY what he (or, more correctly, his financiers) set out to do.
As is Obama, Boehner, McConnell, the mainstream media, and the rest of the inside-the-beltway DC power elites.
Dog and pony shows aside, it might be helpful to focus on and discuss who we REALLY are up against.
On one side: Obama, Reid, Pelosi, Boehner, McConnell, the DNC, the RNC, Romney (likely GOP nomee), about 90 percent of the Senate, 250 or so members in the House, the mainstream media (even some on Fox), some on talk radio, some far- left websites, billionaires like Gates, Buffett and Soros, and about 30-35 percent of the voters. I'm sure I've left some out.
On our side: Some (not all) "tea party" freshmen, some on talk radio, some on Fox News, some websites, a couple of billionaires (the "evil" Koch Bros.), and probably 65 to 70 percent of the voters (though they may be apolitical and not realize it.)
So, I think it's important to KNOW one's enemy. To do that, we first have to know EXACTLY who he is.
