Oh, great! Another opportunity to unring a bell!!

Will somebody give me a nickle for every time Reid's retracted comment gets republished as verifiable fact--"It's there in black and white!"?

If it includes Kos or DU comments, I won't need to win a lottery!

Precisely, Fluffy.
James, Ried has already over-played his hand, or had it done for him by staffers. I rather suspect the former, and susepct the timing of the release of the document is to give him cover. Can you imagine a republican getting away with the kind of attacks, then excuses he pulled, here?

Phillips points are well taken... and I would add that I will point out that Reid's been called out on the carpet before for his habit of mudslinging. Unless Reid is suffering from a rare offshoot of Tourette's syndrome, he's got nothing at all to stand on, anymore... and I'm calling for his resignation from the leadership position he holds. He's disgraced his office one too many times with this nonsense, in my view.

What mystifies me about the whole "it was Republicans only" Were was this outrage for the 40 years or so of the Democrats whoring out their votes?

I agree with your assessment James. And if guilty Republicans are met with expedient loss of Party support and no spin or excuses, then the impact of any shrill Democratic response will, I feel, be minmized as best as possible. I am sure the Republicans are obviously hoping for a minimum number of bad eggs with at least one Democrat in the bunch.

I believe posturing for for political advantage is the only work the Dems have done for the last five years.Still then, any wrongdoing on whatever side of the Congress should be delt with.I think the dems should worry less about the GOP and more about there own.I think they should look to see how many of there own are in violation of section 3. of the Fourteenth Amendent.Yes i have a copy of the U.S. Constitution that i wave around,but i have
also read it,its not just a prop.As a final note;
it don't do any good to have apologized if you dont realy mean it.
