| Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) told reporters on Wednesday that the American people are not interested in the issues of same-sex marriage and abortion. A reporter asked Reid: “Do you have any plans to change the filibuster rule?” “Yes I do,” said Reid. “I’ve said so publicly and I continue to feel that way.” Reporter: “Can you talk about specifically what you want to do?” “I’m not going to talk specifically but you asked a question, I’m answering it,” said Reid. “Yes, I do. I think that the rules have been abused, and that

Comments: Wow. All Americans sure aren't but old dirty dingy Harry must not be aware of the main focus of his corrupt party. s/o Idiot. If a Republican made such a gaffe the media would be all over it 24/7.

As my ne'er-do-well uncle would declare, Harry Reid is a liar and he feet ain't mates! Our generation would say ''He's ugly and his mama dresses him funny.''
Either way, he doesn't have a clue what Americans are interested in since he isn't one.

Even a blind squirel finds a nut once in a while.
Gay marriage is not the end of the world. Sorry, to all of the social conservatives but lets keep the Gov't out of everyone's house.
I will never be pregnant so frankly keep the gov't out of it. If we as a party favor small government and personal responsibility then let people do what they feel is best.
Free will is a gift from our creator. We will all be judged one day.

I tend to agree with him on this. What do I want my representatives in Washington focused on? I want them focused on the defense of the nation, promoting the health of our economy, and being the backstop in disasters that are beyond the magnitude that the state can handle.
Would I rather see a day of Senate debate on same-sex marriage or the deficit? I would rather they spend their time on the deficit.

That didn't stop the Democrats from putting those issues front and center in their campaigns, though, did it?
To hear election coverage on the alphabet channels, you'd think Americans were most concerned about whether or not Sandra Fluke got her sexual activities subsidized.

Harry Reid just like his boss Obama, have yet again given the finger to the Catholic Church, which did a very poor job informing its members before this election. I hope everyone remembers Reid stating that if Romney was elected, he would not work with him. I say Republicans reciprocate in kind, Obama was re-elected and Republicans will not work with him. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

Talk about an exo-sketch party. This just makes it clear that Harry Reid is going to do what he wants in the Senate. If Obama wants something else he'll have to do it by executive order. There is going to be a lot of misery for the next 6 months. Then there may be even more for the balance of 2013. No one in the Democrat Party is leading.

I want my southern GOP congressional representative to introduce a constitutional amendment which allows for gay marriage, polygamy, polyamory, and insestual marriage. The whole lot, and not severable. All or none.
After all, love is love, right? That's what the pro-gay types are always bleating.
Let's settle it once and for all.

Wow, so many posters agree with Reid. Yes, the GOP continues to move Left and yet STILL can't win. Gee, go figure. Hard to believe so many folk in the GOP are ok with killing the innocent. The Bible says same sex marriage is a sin but I reckon not many in the GOP believe in the Bible either. You agree with Reid but not with the Bible. Wow!

Americans are interested, but they're not interested in hearing the GOP talk about them, especially at the national level. Social issues are not federal issues. Social issues are poison. The GOP has to stop talking about them, or die. You cannot force people to think or act morally. The GOP has become irrelevant for two big reasons: militarism and refusal to stop mixing social issues and politics.

#12 doctorfixit's post is the most sane post I have seen on this site in a while. Concentrate on the fiscal issues. Leave religion gay marriage abortion etc in the privacy of your home. The conservatives want government out of our lives yet want to tell others what to do with their lives.

Correction #12: The GOP 'has become irrelevant' because they allow the in your face voter fraud by the libtards to continue without executing those committing it, nor do they take steps to make it even tougher and more expensive to individuals to attempt it the next time. Did I also mention the idiots who have open primaries? Politics is a hardball game for adults only and the GOP has too many idiot children instead of adults with spines.

It doesn't make any difference what Reid does with Senate voting rules. As long as the House is Republican, no legislation can get through unless it meets GOP standards.

#12 – The GOP did not talk about social issues in this campaign. The GOP focused entirely on economic issues in a lousy economy, and lost. The Democrats talked about social issues at great length. They did this to put the GOP in a defensive position, and forced them to discuss utterly irrelevant personal charges on fringe issues. Whether you like it or not, social issues will be discussed – Democrats view this as winning territory because they are allowed to control the narrative. GOP candidates should state unequivocally what their stance is and refuse to get drawn into discussions about rape and incest.
It is Democrats who use the power of the federal government to impose their view of morality on the nation, not conservatives. The single driving force of liberalism is to command control over your life. -0-bamacare alone is the biggest intrusion into your home and private life in US history. Conservatives don’t want to come into your home. Conservatives don’t want to tell you what to do in your home. Conservatives don’t want to have to hear about what goes on in your home, or be forced to approve of it or pay for it. Got it?

Yuban..u need to spend more time reading your bible. Our creator has given us free will. We are free to do what we want and we will be judged on that.
The GOP needs to fight as hard as the Dems do, they have to get down in the dirt like they do.
Most people do not want the gov't in their bedroom. I have the right to privacy. I have the right to make decisions that impact me. Its my decision.
If the GOP was smart they just announce that Roe vs Wade is settled law. If you don't like abortion dont have one.
For those that are criticizing the Hispanics that are pushing for the dream act, they are pushing for access to college not a welfare card. Seriously, take off your blinders and look at the people that work around you,

Americans aren't Harry but liberals controlled by democrats live by it. So in the name of perhaps curtailing infant murder --abortion-- perhaps we should form a federal charity that provides free contraceptives and every American who donates to the fund should be able to take a full tax write off. Every participant would only have to sign up and note she is a female without morals who lives by her unlady parts. Best yet since men are more more than willing to help out a birth control pill should be designed for them. The rewards will be great because within a few years their genes and DNA will be wiped out of the human genomes.

I know this thread is long dead, but this is pathetic.
Most people do not want the gov't in their bedroom. False charge against the GOP. It is not the gov’t going in to people’s bedrooms that is the problem, nor is that what conservatives are doing. The problem is people bringing what goes on in their bedroom out onto the street. Conservatives don’t care what you do in your bedroom. We don’t want to hear about it, be forced to approve of it, or un-define institutions that are as old as human civilization because of it.
If you don't like abortion dont have one. Not the issue, nor is Roe v. Wade. The issue is forcing people to pay for abortions through gov’t coercion. The issue is forcing religious institutions to pay for abortion and contraception against their convictions. Not conservatives doing that.
”…they are pushing for access to college not a welfare card.” So far off base it is surreal. Why would we pay for illegal immigrants to go to college? The DREAM act is a vote purchase. Public funding for college education of US citizens is already a huge chunk of what is bankrupting the nation – why would you exacerbate the problem by paying for those here illegally? See California for how this works in practice.
If I live to be 105 I will never understand how conservatives are the ones saddled with the “intrusion into people’s homes” meme – while Democrats freely regulate everything from how much water your toilet can flush to undermining parental authority through public schools to how much soda you can drink. Boggles the mind.

Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has apologized for remarks Monday in which he linked Oklahoma "cyclones" to climate change while berating Republicans for their stance on the issue -- around the time a massive tornado killed dozens in that state. A Whitehouse spokesman said Tuesday the politically charged remarks were pre-written as part of the senator’s weekly Senate floor speech on climate change. “Tragically and unbeknownst to the senator at the time, a series of tornadoes were hitting Oklahoma at the same moment he gave his remarks,” the spokesman said.

White House spokesman Jay Carney today disclosed that Obama’s chief of staff, Dennis McDonough, and other top White House officials had advance warning that the IRS was targeting conservative groups. But he insisted McDonough and the other White House officials purposely kept Obama out of the loop.McDonough “rightly chose not to take action” to inform Obama, Carney told reporters at the daily White House briefing.

The Washington Post on Monday reported that Obama’s Department of Justice was investigating journalists before they started wiretapping the Associated Press – for one, Fox News correspondent James Rosen in 2010. Their headline wasn´t "Obama Team Also Spied on Fox News." Fox wasn´t in the headline, on A-1 or on A-12, where the story continued. Newly obtained court documents “reveal how deeply investigators explored the private communications of a working journalist — and raise the question of how often journalists have been investigated as closely as Rosen was in 2010.” Reporter Ann Marimow began:

The wheels came off the Obama administration yesterday. We learned of a startling assault on freedom of the press by the Department of Justice, following the revelation last week of the unprecedented information-gathering foray by that department against The Associated Press. Then, a few minutes later, the Justice Department’s inspector general released a report declaring that the US attorney in Arizona used the leak of a confidential memo to try to discredit a whistleblower in the notorious “gun-walking” scandal known as Fast and Furious (which got two federal agents killed). The leak was called “egregious.”

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.

While many Americans were tuned into news coverage of the massive damage from tornadoes ravaging the state of Oklahoma, Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse took to the Senate floor to rail against his Republican colleagues for denying the theory of anthropogenic global warming. Whitehouse spent 15 minutes chastising GOP senators and justified his remarks by alluding to states that seek federal assistance in the wake of natural disasters. “So, you may have a question for me,” Whitehouse said. “Why do you care?
