Harry Reid is a brave man. He says it like it is, and he doesn't pull his punches. that is why the GOP hates him, because they envy his balls.

The Koch brothers, Adelson, Perry, Simmons, Wynn, Griffin, Trump: that's about half of them.

And there's at least one bitter old white woman: the businessowner from Janesville who told Gov. Scott Walker she hoped he could turn Wisconsin into a "right to work" state...and he told her, in effect, that he was working on it!

Repeal: Harry is finally taking the gloves off. Good! It's about time! The reality is that after the election, if Romney wins (epic fail), you & the rest of the middle class will watch the wholesale demise of democracy. Let Crossroads GPS continue to steal elections by flipping vote tallies; let megacorporations degrade your air, water and food supply. Get govt "down to size where it can be drowned in a bathtub (G Norquist)" so that you have no social safety net, police & fire protection or school lunch programs. But the pentagon budget will continue to bloat, we'll have war with Iran (thanks S Adelston) and a tidal wave of special interest legislation to give OUR tax dollars to the billionaires who "bought the country."
Enaid3 & Carson, etc. Wake up! Think about what's at stake in this election.

Henry, add another angry person to the count. Let's leave race, gender, and age out of another of your useless provocative utterings and be a nice fair and considerate Democrat if at all possible.

I'd say "shaddup and go home", but we don't want you back here in our state either.
