Harry Reid is so much better than Daschle
Whenever Daschle talked I fucking cringed. I knew he wasn't going over well. He doesn't talk like a normal fuckin' person. That's our fuckin' problem - our 'leaders' lost access to the common vernacular. They speak in five point plans, with puny voices.

I remember Daschle and Pelosi giving their joint response to one of Bush's SOTUs. I remember Daschle calling Pelosi 'leader Pelosi' - it sounded odd - especially coupled with that wierd neutered look he always had on his face - or a look like he'd just pissed on the carpet - something was funny - it was just fuckin' odd. I cringed as usual.

Reid at least talks like a normal person, knows how to tell a story.

1. he is well spoken ....
he did one helluva fillibuster type coupe on the Repukes last year for hours upon hours, he talked, read from his book about his childhood in a mining town ...went on and on. I like that about him.

3. I remember seeing him
on "Meet the Press" earlier this month. That was the first time I've ever heard him and he did great! He should go up on some of these people on Fox.

4. I remain skeptical.
I want my minority leader to come from a safe blue state. I think picking a red-stater who's going to be constantly watching his back was a mistake. Still, I'll reserve judgment and hope Mr. Reid proves me wrong.

5. I agree with you, even after Bush dumped nuclear waste in his state.
they still voted for him. But I hope he does well.. he is not a Republican.

9. Absolutely NOT
He colluded with that crook Conrad Burns of Nevada to sneak a rider into a House omnibus bill that would enable the wild horses to be slaughtered. In my book, that's execrable.

He's nothing but a repug in dem's clothing.

11. BULL SHIT -- BULL SHIT
If that SOB is a democrat -- then I am NOT.

He is an sworn enemy of women.

Because of his ass kissing behavior toward the GOP -- that I now consider myself an Independent.

Reid is a male chauvinist PIG.

I am a feminist and always have been and alway will be.

Pigs like Reid can go to the hell of his choice (when his number is called by whatever power does or doesn't decide ones fate.)

24. Pelosi is GREAT! She has managed to keep the Democrats
in the House together on the issues and voting as a bloc. She's much, much better than Gephardt. I wish we had a leader like her in the Senate!

And, she's got her priorities straight as far as children, the elderly, and women's issues are concerned.

You are misinformed.

23. Let me guess - the Republicans you dislike the most are
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Rudy Giuliani.
