I don't mean to offend the many fine, upstanding equines in America, but Senate Majority Leader "Brain-dead" Harry Reid certainly is about as sharp and proactive as a horse's patootie, and produces just about the same thing.
The Senate hasn't produced a budget in the last three years. About the only times the Senate has been allowed to vote -- by its daunted leader, ol' Brain-dead -- it was only to reject the rather ridiculous efforts of the Comrade to formulate a budget. Apparently the Comrade's budgets stunk so bad, not even his fellow democrats would support them.
So now Brain-dead has determined that the Senate will fail to do its budget again this year. After all, 23 senators are up for re-election this November. Brain-dead doesn't want to compel them make any decisions that would jeopardize their shot at keeping their jobs.
Actually, I think most senators -- excluding Dick(head) Durbin, who fails to represent me in Illinois, and a few others, probably are capable of much more than they're doing. If they did any work, they might actually be able to get America going again. 'Course, they'd have to part ways with the Comrade's stupid policies, and ol' Brain-dead doesn't want to see that happen. It would be so embarrassing, wouldn't it?
Who elected Brain-dead to any position of responsiblity? Most particularly, in the Senate? Better question: what the hell does this blockhead do all day?
You know, U.S. Senators make about $180,000.00 a year. Plus they get tons of perks and a cornucopia of health insurance benefits and all that stuff.
For what? I mean, is anyone really interested in keeping these folks alive and healthy?
By contrast, the U.S. House of Representatives have been busy, busy, busy, conducting all kinds of hearings, devising pretty good legislation (in some cases) based on sound reasoning (in some cases) and demonstrating a sincere (if sometimes misguided) concern for the nation. The House has even managed to form coalitions "across the aisle" of both dems and Republicans -- sort of a miracle.
However, if the House passes something, it then must go through the Senate, and there any legislation suffers an untimely death -- Brain-dead won't allow anything to be heard or debated or considered in the Senate. Under guidance of Brain-dead Harry Reid, the Senate has become a legislative morgue. All those hopes and efforts from the House pigeonholed on ice in some dusty Senate shelf.
Apparently the Tea Party, and its many and varied parts, are focusing on congressional races in the upcoming election. Good idea. It's about time to sweep these blockheads out of office.

Close, but no coronation
Well, I had a few details wrong in the last blog, though the main points were all correct.
It was three judges in Texas who asked Eric Holder to explain the policy of the executive branch regarding the judicial -- asking for a 3-page response outlining exactly why it is that the judicial branch can and has struck down legislation that violates the strictures of the Constitution.
FYI, the three branches of government, Congress, the Supremes, and the White House, have equal authority. None of them rules the other, though they each have the power to undo what the other does. The framers set up the government this way so that it would likely destroy itself long before it destroyed the nation as a whole -- and WE, THE PEOPLE, would have time to make a few of our own corrections before the situation got too desperate.
Apparently Holder complied with the Texans' demands -- I mean you can buy academic papers about this online -- admitting that the Comrade was simply strutting his marxist stuff and pretending to be a dictator for the benefit of a bunch of editors and publishers from the AP wire.
Curiously enough, the Comrade himself made a feeble effort to take back his attack on the Supreme Court. Unusual for him to admit to any errors in judgment. Apparently his ego can't stand to be corrected.
Showed his hand, huh? His blind ambition for absolute power and and his contempt for the United States showing through.
He's wise to wait until if and when he wins a second term to put that kind of stuff on display. Then, at least in his own mind, he can do whatever he damn pleases with the nation because he won't have to pay any attention to voters at all. Not lilke he has so far.
On Fox yesterday, Judge Napolitano noted that the Comrade is moving dangerously close to seizing dictatorial power. Like... hmmm... Napolean, Hitler, Mussolini, Lenin, Stalin, Castro, Chavez.
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed.
Anyone who votes for the Comrade in November very likely has masochistic tendencies or suffers from Stockholm Syndrome. That's pretty clear.
Save the Republic.
