Reid: Dems Want Tax Cuts, Republicans Like Lucy in Charlie Brown

There are times where I sit and think just who Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid fools with his ridiculous statements about Republicans.  Just last month Reid openly demanded that Republicans work with him, stating that he "welcomes every opportunity to work with...Republican colleagues."  Of course, as the Majority Leader, Reid had never before asked for Republican support before the 2010 Mid-term elections in which Democrats were trounced.  Smartly, most analysts saw Reid's statement as a political ploy.

Now there's this: according to the newly re-elected Majority Leader, Republicans do not want to give tax cuts to the middle class.  According to Reid, Democrats are the ones who wanted tax cuts and it is the Republicans that never really did.  Don't believe he could say something so stupid?  It's all in his article Reid: Republicans Playing Cynical Games Instead Of Cutting Taxes For The Middle Class on his government website:

“Mr. President, There’s a recurring gag in the comic strip Peanuts that we’re all familiar with.  Charlie Brown is getting ready to kick a field goal.  Lucy is holding the ball while Charlie runs up to it.  But at the last second, Lucy pulls the ball away and Charlie Brown flies up into the air, comes crashing back down and lands flat on his back.

“What made this gag funny is what made it famous.  It wasn’t so much that Lucy was tricking Charlie Brown.  It was that it kept happening over and over again.

“It’s obvious by now that our Republican friends have drawn their political strategy from this cartoon.

“We’ve all heard Republicans weep for the deficit they say they fear.  Democrats agree that we need to do something about it.

“So we have said: OK, how about cutting the deficit by admitting we can’t afford a tax break for millionaires and billionaires?  A tax break that would add $4 trillion to the deficit.  It’s a tax cut many admit they don’t need – a tax cut billionaires like Warren Buffett say they don’t even want.  M. President, when was the last time you heard an investor ask for less money?

“But what did Republicans do?  They pulled away the football and said: Rather than reduce the deficit, we’d really rather give an unnecessary, unwanted and unaffordable handout to the richest of the rich."

Who honestly believes this crap?  I can't even believe that Reid believes this because no one can be this stupid and get re-elected, right?  Right?  But obviously thousands of people in Nevada believe what he is shoveling.

Speaking of shoveling, here's something Reid recently wrote on Twitter:

I need to stop writing this article.  All of these lies and BS is making my eyes start to bleed.
