Poor, Poor Harry- Delusional At Such A Young Age


From Fox News and Harry Reid: "Instead of joining us on the right side of history, all the Republicans can come up with is, 'slow down, stop everything, let's start over.' If you think you've heard these same excuses before, you're right," Reid said Monday. "When this country belatedly recognized the wrongs of slavery, there were those who dug in their heels and said 'slow down, it's too early, things aren't bad enough.'"
He continued: "When women spoke up for the right to speak up, they wanted to vote, some insisted they simply, slow down, there will be a better day to do that, today isn't quite right.
"When this body was on the verge of guaranteeing equal civil rights to everyone regardless of the color of their skin, some senators resorted to the same filibuster threats that we hear today."

Poor, poor Harry. He must be either getting delusional in his old age or he is cracking under the stress of what is going on in the Senate. To compare the redoing of health care system in the U.S. to slavery- he has to be crazy. There is no comparison. No one is being forced to work without wages and no one is forced to go without health care. Some health care may not be high quality, but you can still get health care. You may have to pay a lot or have super high deductibles, but you can still can get health insurance. You may have to on government health care if you are poor, have a disability or are elderly, but that is not too bad. So, how does that compare to slavery, suffrage or whatever.
So, poor, poor Harry. Maybe he needs to check in to the mental health ward at Walter Reed for a nice long rest.

  1. Dan. He didn't expect you to understand. You're one of the ones he's talking about and he anticipated your reaction.
