He and Feinstein are masters of Senate procedure and backstairs dealing.<BR/><BR/>But they're both _conservatives_.<BR/><BR/>They're not liberals, nor are they small-d democrats.<BR/>They're authoritarians who think that Very Important Serious People Must Not Be Inconvenienced.<BR/><BR/>Feinstein is the real expert on camoflage, apparently able to appear to her California voters be a liberal, yet quietly colluding in much of the Republican fascism-lite of the last eight years.<BR/><BR/>Reid seems to bumble, but that's his schtick, his cover, his alibi to liberals for not producing liberal results.<BR/>In reality, he gets the outcomes he wants: he _wanted_ telecom immunity, the Military Commissions Act, Roberts and Alito confirmed, and the Protect America Act.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1057646105981087139.post-19480081373497801172009-01-23T22:02:00.000-05:002009-01-23T22:02:00.000-05:00I couldn't agree more about Senator Reid. The guy...I couldn't agree more about Senator Reid. The guy is a wimp and is the exact opposite of image I want the Obama Democrats to portray. The only good thing I can think of is that he did support Obama's candidacy early on, earlier than pretty much every Democratic Senator outside of Dick Durbin.Schultzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15081403187993259643noreply@blogger.com
