Harry Reid decided to again turn to name calling by trying to connect those who do not agree with "his" vision of the healthcare debate with being racist.
"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.'"
"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."
Of course the guy who threatened to filibuster the civil rights act of 1957 was Sen. Strom Thurmond, a Democrat..........
Oh, and it was Republicans who led the Nation against slavery.
If this guy is too stupid to even know the facts about the insults he is trying (and failing) to toss around, how can we trust his legislation? This guy is truly an idiot, and we should be slowing down, being careful, this is a lot of money being spent on things we don't even know how it will work yet.
The people don't even get any services until Obama is out of office so why get in a hurry when there is no way people can benefit from the legislation for 5 years?
The only reason Reid and company want this thing rammed through is they know it will not stand the test of scrutiney, there are major problems he wants swept under the rug.
