Harry Reid is he the dumbest in DC?

How would you like to be living in Nevada and have to pick up the paper or turn on the TV and see that your senator, Harry Reid, has done it again. Why is this guy keeps opening his mouth and saying stupid things, or just flat out lying?

Harry said that the bailout deal was all but done at 1:00 p.m. yesterday, which is a lie, and then when McCain came to town it all fell apart, another lie. Why is it that liberals seem to have a real need to distort and lie to the American people? Why can't they just do their jobs and leave the childish behavior behind.

When we look back over this moment in time it will be, because it is pretty clear right now, who was responsible for heading us down this road to ruin. All one has to do is look back over the last decade and look into the mortgage loan programs designed to help the sub-prime(less than desirable) loan applicants. We won't name names, but just think about it and it doesn't take much to figure out where these ideas come from.

The second part of the problem was the banking industry giving out bad loans and then reselling them to financial institutions. Let's see now, that sounds like a situation where the congressional banking committee would be all over it. Surely, the people that oversee the banking industry would have a handle on this and have some ideas on how to protect the banks and people investing in them, right? I mean, isn't that part of their jobs? I wonder what they were doing the last 5 years when everybody in town is talking about the problem with Fannie and Freddie?

In 2003, 2005 and 2007 both parties, yes, Republicans and Democrats had a chance to pass some legislation to address Fannie Mae's situation and they both dropped the ball. The President and others in the Senate tried to pass this new oversight legislation and the congress shot them down. Remind me again who was in charge for the last 6 years in congress?

Why can't people just put down the partisan talk and just fix the problem. Forget about all that money you are making at our expense, and just do it.
