Harry Reid is lying and he knows it.
Edited on Sat Jun-21-08 12:58 PM by kpete
Reid: I ‘will try to have a separate vote on immunity.’

Yesterday, the House passed a “compromise” wiretapping bill that “condones the actions of telecommunications companies that cooperated with illegal warrantless surveillance after 9/11 by virtually assuring the dismissal of the dozens of lawsuits pending against them.” While indicating his “support” for the bill, Sen. Barack Obama said he will “work in the Senate to remove” the provision granting retroactive immunity to the telecoms. In an interview with Bloomberg TV, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said he will “try to have a separate vote on immunity.” “Probably we can’t take that out of the bill, but I’m going to try,”

Harry Reid is lying and he knows it. He doesn’t even have to let the bill be considered, not to mention in it’s current form. All he has to do is split it or have not bill at all. What he and chicken Nancy have done is put Sen. Obama’s back against the wall at a time when he’s leading the race. They shouldnt’ have even brought this bill up, because the republicans will claim that Obama is weak on terrorism even if the votes for the bill. Apparently Harry and Nancy aren’t smart enough to figure that part out. This is the worst thing they could have done during an election year, particularly this late in the process. What were they thinking?
