They Just Don't Get It

Harry Reid just doesn't get it.

The Democrat leader in the Senate seems obsessed with fighting anything President Bush proposes, no matter what ridiculous argument that requires him to make. This is a prime example why the Dems. are going to need to find someone with an elementary grasp of economics to take the helm if they ever plan on connecting with any voter who currently hold a job. Just remember, this is the type of person Dennis Moore takes his marching orders from in Washington.

"Asked Thursday his reaction to Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan's insistence this week that Social Security must be transformed, preferably along lines urged by Bush, Reid replied:

"I'm not a big Greenspan fan. ... I voted against him two times. I think he's one of the biggest political hacks we have in Washington," Reid said on CNN's "Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics."

Reid complained that Greenspan had decried budget deficits when Bill Clinton was president but he doesn't criticize Bush for turning a federal budget surplus he inherited from Clinton into trillions of new debt."
