WorldTraveller Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Both aren't the same, but the other statement is an overgenerallization of both groups What's an over generalization? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) Anyone notice how everyone is talking about what a dirtbag Reid is and no one is talking about how the president believes successful people didn't get that way on their own? Way to take it in the ass for the team, Harry. I mean, yeah, everyone thinks you're an unethical fool now, but someone had to save the president from his own stupidity.

Adam Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What's an over generalization? That rich people cheat the system and people on welfare all that way because they are lazy. There are good and bad in every classification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
/dev/null Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 What's an over generalization? It's drawing too broad of a conclusion. But that's not important right now. The first officer is ill and the Captain need someone to help him with the radio. Do you know anything about planes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Mitt Romney riding his horse to Switzerland with overstuffed bags with $ signs on them, all the while laughing like Snidely Whiplash. I guess it's pretty serious. Hey man... Where there is smoke, there is fire... Gotta go with it! :-) ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 (edited) I wonder if someone will get on the floor and throw around accusations about this. There's another factor, however, one more personal to Reid: His son, Rory Reid, is one of the attorneys for the ENN Mojave Energy project. Don't get me wrong; Harry should make all the $$$$$ he can for his kid, but did he really name his kid Rory? Rory? What is that? Would you vote for anyone who named a kid Rory? I think that is considered child abuse in 29 States, Puerto Rico, Guam and DC. Why didn't he just name the kid "Please beat the crap out of me in the junior high hallway" Reid?

Chef Jim Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 It is nice how Chef fudges the word "manipulates" to late imply "uses." LoL... Nice spin! I didn't fudge the word at all. What is the difference between manipulate and use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Man Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Again, regarding Mr. Reid................. Washington Post Harry Reid’s gutter politics By Richard Cohen In “The Godfather Part II,” a senator from Nevada is portrayed as corrupt. His name is Pat Geary. In real life, a senator from Nevada is a jerk. His name is Harry Reid. Reid is where he loves to be: the center of controversy. He has accused Mitt Romney of paying no taxes for 10 years. Romney denies the accusation and challenged Reid to put up or shut up. In an apparent response, Reid repeated the charges on the Senate floor. Countless aides have echoed their boss. They and he attribute their information to a source they will not name. Whether such a source exists, really, is beside the point. It could be that someone did indeed tell Reid that Romney paid no taxes for 10 years. Journalists get that sort of tip all the time, and their responsibility is (1) to check it out and (2) identify the source. Reid has not done the latter and apparently has not done the former, either. The truth is that Reid doesn’t really care if the charge is true or not. He would prefer the former, but he’ll settle for the latter. For Reid, this is yet another brazen and tasteless partisan attack. As majority leader, he has managed to sink the public image of the Senate even lower than it would otherwise be. He contributes to bad feelings, gridlock and the sense — nay, the reality — that everything is done for political advantage. Reid is a crass man, the very personification of the gaudy and kitschy Las Vegas Strip. Still, he is not some backbencher, but the Senate majority leader. He is the face of the Democratic Party in the Senate and the ally of President Obama. Yet, not a single Democrat has had the spine to rebuke Reid. The White House has been given the chance and explicitly ducked its duty. Other members of the Senate have run for cover. They fear Reid and, if truth be told, sort of like what he’s doing — constantly needling Romney, keeping him on the defensive about taxes and his insistence on releasing only two years of his returns. The politics of this squabble are delightful. But Reid has managed to draw both his party and his president into the gutter with him. When Reid accuses the Republicans of being overly partisan, he now lacks all credibility. For a long time it’s been difficult to believe anything he says. Now, it’s impossible. As for Obama, he is tarnished by this episode. The fresh new face that promised us all a different kind of politics is suddenly looking cheesy. The soaring rhetoric that Obama used in his first campaign has come to ground in the mud of Harry Reid’s latter-day McCarthyism. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Way to take it in the ass for the team, Harry. I mean, yeah, everyone thinks you're an unethical fool now, but someone had to save the president from his own stupidity.
