Dems stay late accomplish nothing

Did you ever stay up all night to get something done? College students brag about “pulling all nighters” to finish a term paper. Mom stays up all night putting the finishing touches on sissy’s prom dress. Dad stays up all night during the storm listening for the sump pump making sure the basement doesn’t flood. In the dawn’s early light there is usually something to show for the effort – a term paper, a prom dress, a dry basement.

How silly would you feel if you stayed up all night to do a term paper and in the morning all you had to show for the effort were a bunch of “The Shining” like typed pages? What if you stayed up all night to work on sissy’s dress but did not accomplish a thing because you could not decide between pink or purple flowers? What if dad, stayed up to make sure the sump pump kept up with the storm then stood by with a cup of coffee as the water in the basement rose around his ankles?

Well our luminaries in the US Senate held an all nighter to end the war. Senator Mitch McConnell let the Senate “Leader”, Harry Reid, know he could hold the vote whenever he wanted, as many times as he wanted and it would be defeated each and every time. Harry, more a tuned to crooked land deals than running the senate, rolled the mattresses and pizza into the senate and declared that the senate, at tax payer expense would stay all night debating the bill. In the morning nothing had been accomplished. Most of us would be embarrassed at the stupidity and futility of our efforts, Democrats wear it as badge of honor.

Remember Harry Reid:
Declared the war lost while US troops were still in harms way. He and his ilk can end the war today by cutting off funding. They have made no effort to do so. They prefer to run the congress like a bleach blond, Paris Hilton, California Valley Girl - all show but no substance.

Harry demanded a new strategy and when the president gave him one, Harry declared the effort a failure before it started.

Harry demands a newer strategy yet but has never offered one of his own.

This is all political theater. I suppose one cannot call the leader of the US Senate a treasonous, lying, double dealing, hypocrite, bastard, but it is difficult conceive how he’d be acting differently if he were.
