Harry Reid: Senate GOP Run By The “Crazies”…
As opposed to the Senate Democrats who are run by one of the most loathsome scumbags on the face of the Earth . . . Harry Reid.
[I]n an interview this week in his Senate office, a feisty Reid pushed back aggressively against Republican complaints over his leadership, pinning the blame entirely on the GOP for the gridlock and polarization that define the historically unproductive 113th Congress.
Senate Republicans, he said, are no longer led by pragmatic leaders like Bob Dole, Trent Lott or even Bill Frist. Now, McConnell’s GOP conference is essentially leaderless and “obviously” run by the “crazies,” he said. As he’s tried to circumvent McConnell and reach out directly to rank-and-file Republicans to move legislation, Reid says, he’s been stymied by GOP senators who are “so afraid” to negotiate with him for fear of tea party backlash from the likes of Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).
“I like Mitch McConnell; I don’t have anything against Mitch McConnell as a person,” Reid said. “But you know, I don’t have a partner. I just don’t. … I’m out here alone.”

Quote:“But you know, I don’t have a partner. I just don’t. … I’m out here alone.”
How many times did the GOP say something similar when Reid locked himself in a room with only democrats and walked out with Obamacare?
