  progressive involvement — Authority: 137
  Mea culpa .  This space hasnt always been so friendly toward Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid (D-NV), but what he has pulled off in getting 60 votes in the Senate is worthy of Lyndon Johnson and other great Senate leaders in the past--even greater in some ways, since Reid doesnt have the leverage his precedessors ...

  The LA Progressive — Authority: 483

  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  Harry Reid finally begged, cajoled and bribed enough votes to pass a health-care-reform bill through the Senate.

Evidently, they think the American people are stupid enough to believe that. The most disappointing thing is that ...
