| Senate majority leader Harry Reid, a Democrat, made his "fiscal cliff" position clear in a press conference today. "We are not going to do anything," said Reid. Reid added, "We are not taking up anything they are working on over there." The top Democrat in the Senate was explaining his inaction on the House plan, the proposal put forward by Republican John Boehner, the speaker of the House of Representatives. Boehner´s plan is being referred to as ´Plan B.´

Comments: As expected, Harry says no vote, and watch as the Repubs get the blame...

There should be a way to arrest this incompetent idiot for fraud, taking government money as paycheck while doing nothing for it. No Budget for four years, not bringing up legislation produced by the House and let the reconciliation process work. I ask you, who is the party of NO. Again, Nevada must be so pleased and proud of their "son." A monkey would have been a better rep for Nevada.

God cop, bad cop. Reid plays the bad cop while Obambi rides to the rescue. And the Kneepad Media will eat it up. Oh look, the Messiah saved us again! This is way too predictable to anyone with more than a 3 synapse brain.

An example of what Democrats mean by compromise. The idea is that Republicans compromise on their principles and programs, while Democrats courageously stick to theirs.
It actually makes sense once one accepts the a priori assumption of Democrats that they are always right and have only the best interests of the nation in mind.
Come, let us reason together. Let us do it MY way.

Whatever Harry...let the House pass Plan B and go home - they can return within a day, if needed.

#8 has it. Let House members be on standby. Reid can be his stubborn self. He can protest all he wants, but he won´t escape blame by doing nothing.

We have had do nothing senates since 2009. When it does do something it is always against the will of the people of the USA. Reid is what the business world calls a CEO a Mortician who does only for himself until the company shuts its doors...and lights.

Harry Reid is doing his best to give elderly people a bad name. Harry does not have Alzheimers, but has been brain dead from the first time he was elected. Many politicians suffer from the same malady.

He is doing exactly what his God, Øbama tells him to do- just as Pelosi did in the House- and now, the die is cast- we go over into the abyss and the result will be desperation and chaos- Perfect for what Øbama wants- it´s how he will become dictator for life. Am I the only one who had read Tolstoy, Marx, Lenin, Hitler?

Harry already dropped over the cliff or he would allow the vote.Since he won´t that´s proof Obe doesn´t have the mandate and could face a veto override. It´s the dems who should bring about harry´s demise from the Senate majority leader or they will never go forward to glorify their Dear Leader.

Well this pretty much proves Krauthammer right. The Democrats are more interested in crushing the Republicans than the welfare of the nation. They want to go over the cliff so that they can blame the Republicans. Of course, the Republicans like Charlie Brown when Lucie always snatches the football away at the last second, are happily obliging.
If only Obama and the Democrats would play hardball with our true enemies the way they play hardball with the Republicans.

Reid does not have to do anything. He knows the MSM will cover for him and throw the blame at the Republicans.

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

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.

Former Democratic National committee chairman Howard Dean considers the controversy over Benghazi a “joke” and “silly.” “Benghazi is a laughable joke,” Dean proclaimed twice in a discussion with Republican National Committee communications chairman Sean Spicer last week. “With all due respect, governor, when four Americans die serving this country, that’s not a joke, sir,” Spicer responded. “Oh, stop it,” said Dean. The former Democratic presidential candidate also said that there were “no serious questions being asked about Benghazi” and brushed it off as an effort by Republicans to score political points.

House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Darrell Issa said embattled IRS official Lois Lerner waived her Fifth Amendment rights and will be hauled back to appear before his panel again. The California Republican said Lerner’s Fifth Amendment right to avoid self-incrimination was voided when she gave an opening statement this morning denying any wrongdoing and professing pride in her government service. “When I asked her her questions from the very beginning, I did so so she could assert her rights prior to any statement,” Issa told POLITICO. “She chose not to do so — so she waived.”
