Harry Reid’s Unicorns: Fact Checking A Whopper

Tax policy should be serious business carried out by serious politicians using real facts and figures. This is why we have the Library of Congress and the Congressional Budget Office, among other expert institutions.

How can we take Congress seriously when the Senate Majority Leader, Harry Reid, makes patently inaccurate, outrageous and bizarre claims on an important tax-policy issue without any heads being turned? I guess this is what we have come to expect of Congress. No wonder citizens with favorable opinions of Congress are as rare as unicorns, to borrow a phrase.

          • CalBob says:

            That’s easy, ’cause most Americans are stupid.

          • Mary Gee says:

            AGREED: most Americans are stupid and getting dumber IF they relect thi commie fraud

          • traitors in gov says:

            You should know CalBob.. the name says it all….

            Gullable and lazy,, then some are stupid and just blindly follow whatever the pied piper says…

            Oh yeah…. drinking the KOOL-AID that is already made up.. easy work…

            researching and making your own KOOL-AID… hard work… need some “Asian” for the mathmatical part of that…

            it’s that easy,, plus with the “PUBLIC” schools NOT TEACHING but INDOCTRINATING..

            CHEATING

        • Edward Plasek says:

          Actually They Are Right, over 50% Are Amazingly Stupid–Case in Point. King Barrack & Senate really don’t want a payroll tax cut for the middleclass, they could care Less–Only for pre-election strategy!! They Push the 2–month tax-cut, while GOP/Tea party created a major package; they would fight for a 12-month tax extend, and “force majeure” King Barrack to sign a real job creator package, 60–days inside extension for the Keystone.xl Pipeline (union & support jobs, private sector new taxpayer jobs). **Answer,, Dum-Dum Stupid Americans extremely pissed at gop/tea party for trying to get the 12–months, and real Jobs..Obama Wins!!!

      • I do’nt like your tone of voice. As a whole, Americans are well informed and NOT stupid.

        • Bob says:

          What planet do you live on?

        • sfb2003 says:

          I disagree, most Americans are smart when you ask them questions about movies and sports, but ask them something about our government and most don’t know anything. Just plain stupid when it comes to politics

          • wayne says:

            only the young ones buttbrain, only the young ones lol. That is because they were taught by liberal morons

          • Patriotic nut says:

            The word that you all are grasping for so desperately is ignorant. There is a difference you know.

          • gml says:

            Like Obama??

          • Ed says:

            I really think it is a SOMETHING MENTALITY and not WANTING TO WORK and Earn a LIVING,that is why the likes of the clintons and thePIGS living in the wh are in power.george the faggot soras knows how and when to manipulate these dregs of society.Promise them everthing give them NOTHING and they will be the GOOD NON THINKING SLAVES they want and USE.

          • Lynne Jones says:

            sfb2003……….You are absolutely correct!! Add the crooked way Ovomit got votes to the stupid people who voted for him and wa-la, Stupid is as Stupid DOES!!

          • The Truth says:

            While there are varying degrees of intelligence in America, it does not take much to understand what is right for our country. The problem we face is that too many people take a passive approach to politics; these become prey for the democrats who target people that leave their thinking up to the government. Our people’s mindset has been destroyed by the democrats and their liberal media and celebrity outlets pushing us to think that many of us are to blame for those that are less fortunate who are somehow victims. Their strategy has taken decades but is proving effective for those unwilling to think for themselves.

        • Dan says:

          Even those who write do’nt and not don’t

          • dagodave says:

            as long as they have us arguing amongst our selves , they have accomplished the first step in getting their agendas passed! You all need to focus your anger at them not each other! While we are fighting over the bread they get the meat!

        • arpiem says:

          And you think that explains how Americans elected a president named Barack Hussein Obama after 9/11?

        • Olddog1 says:

          Millions of Americans are, and remain, uninformed. At least 100 million more have double digit IQs. If that’s not stupid and uninformed I don’t know what is. BTW, what’s the weather like on your planet?

          • CalBob says:

            they have ‘global warming’ on their planet….al gore is buying a condo there…right on the edge of a rising sea.

        • LTB says:

          I’d love to agree with you. Problem is I can’t. “stupid” may not be the right term. Maybe “ignorant” or “un-caring” would be better. I have to constantly pound the importance of the issues into family member’s heads and they quite often still don’t get it. Until the fire is roasting their personal favorite sacred cow, they don’t bellow or make a peep. That’s the problem. Most people only seem to “care” about those issues that they think impact them. If it doesn’t impact them (as far as they know) then they don’t care. THAT IS THE PROBLEM. Pray for this place; the way it’s going it’s doomed to be judged. (and rightfully so).

        • William 1 says:

          Stupid is one who can’t learn, ignorance is one who does not know. Since Congress and Senate are keyed on societies who are ignorant and choose to be so then they become -stupid! So who benefits the most-certain ethnecities who choose to remain “stupid” because of the lies they have been told about slavery etc and still-haaaang onto the myths instead of applying the “God option principle” of Forgiveness since God also says, “Vengance is MINE! I will repay-THUS sayeth The LORD”! God also says “If YOU do not FORGIVE your brother His trespasses (sin against the law of God)against YOU then God WILL NOT forgive YOU YOUR TRESPASSES” see it’s conditional on the action of each of us and His Law is eternal! So when they get to forgiving then God will bring justice and not until then. The enemy is using that to divide and conquer-thus they/we remain ——-stupid!

        • Mary Gee says:

          you are delusional, NOT WELL MENTALLY, so we forgive your inaccurate statements

      • Unhappy camper says:

        They voted for Oblowhole

      • John P says:

        Not most Americans just the idots in the unionsof Las Vegas, such as SEIU,and Cascino workers who voted for this two-bit street hood.

        • Sirwizard says:

          Not all are stupid, but it is a mistake to ever underestimate the potential stupidity of Americans. Many are PROUDLY ignorant of the world around them. It is truly stupid to assume that ‘everyone’ knows what the score is. Vote for your life in 2012 and drag the stupid with you.

        • Randolph Goeman says:

          Has anyone checked to see exactly what was the popular vote in 2008?

      • Rebecca says:

        that depends on who ya hang around with Dahlia… I try to stick around people who have good sense. I’m finding MORE AND MORE people who are waking up with sense lately. LOL

        B

      • exbuckeye says:

        Unfiortunately Abe, Dahlia is correct! They are the ones on welfare and
        or illegals from places south. They are the ones that the Dems want to
        give amnesty to and more free benefits in return for more votes.

      • Jeffrey Hardin says:

        And your right Dahlia, most Americans are, either stupid or arrogant, or at least the 57% who either voted for Obama or didn’t bother to vote at all, not to forget the 4% of so called conservatives who voted for him. And William, grow up!

      • You are completely right. Look who won the last election. They don;’t vote with their minds.

    • don says:

      why do they trash our constition. cause they can . you seen any one try to stop them.americans have forgot how to stand up for them selfs.plus 50% could care less. do you see the PROBLEM.

      • Bernadine says:

        YOU ARE RIGHT.. BUT I THINK IT IS MORETHAN THAT THEY HAVE BEED DOWNING EDUCATION ANS THE YOUNG CITIZENS DO NOT KNOW ABOUT THE CONSTITUTION.THEY WE NOT TAUGHT IT IN SCHOOL. YOU TALK TO MY GRANDSONS. SAY WE DID NOT STUDY THE HISTORY OF THIS COUNTRY. SO CAN THEY
        KNOW HOW TO VOTE FOR WHAT OUR CONSTITUTION REALLY MEANS FOR THEM. THAT GIVES THE COMMUNEST AND SOCIALIST OF THIS COUNTRY THE ADVANTAGE. NOW THEY THEY
        ARE TEACHING HOMOSEXUAL GARBBAGE IN SCHOOLS INSTEAD OF EDUCATING THEM IN FUNAMENTALS OF MATH, HISTORY OF THIER COUNTY ,READING ,WRITING, FAUDAMENTALS THAT IS REQUIRED FOR LIFE, LIBERTY,AND THE PERSUIT OF HAPPYNESS. THEY TEACH WHAT IS NOTHING MORE THAN HELL ON EARTH. THAT IS WHAT HOMSEXUALLITY IS.ABUSE WOMEN CHILREN BOTH BOYS AND GIRLS . MUSLIUM RELIGION BEHEADING OF WOMAN STONING OF WOMEN.PLACING BOMBS ON CHILDREN AND YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN TO BLOW THEMSELVES UP AND KILL AS MANY PEOPLE AS THEY CAN. WE ARE IN THE BEGINNING OF ARMAGGON. THE FLOOD IS COMMING TO SAY. GOD BLESS

        • jacy says:

          I agree – but few Americans are willing to stand up and be counted! Look at Congress – either they are progressive liberals/Communists (we have 80 card carrying Communits in our Congress – google for names – they are listed on the web) or just plain wimps! Congress won’t even investigate all the allegations onObama’s eligibility to even be president because they are GUILTY AS HELL in not vetting him – complicit in his becoming president – Pelosi signed his certification! The Supreme Court won’t even hear the many lawsuits filed; Alan Keyes has spoken out against Obamafrom the start saying he was not eligibile – Phillip Berg, a Democrat former prosecutor filed a lawsuit prior to Obama’s confirmation; Sean Hannity screamed over and over about Obama’s associates – terrorists and America Haters and nothing, absolutely nothing has been done. The recent birth certificate Obama submitted was because Donald Trump asked where it was and the MSM couldn’t ignore it – we cannot have this man as president for another four years – if so, we will not have the American of our founding fathers – or our Consitution which he tramples on daily.

          • Rickgyver, Central CA says:

            Jacy,
            So far yours is the only comment that makes any sense at all. The Majority of the others are mindless complaints that center on”dissing” someone elses comment.
            Yours is the only one that points out KNOWN facts and the reality and fear of a foreign flag hanging over the White House in two yeare if America doesn’t wake up and see that possibility!
            Thank you for the clarity of conservative thinking!

        • Sassylady says:

          Stop using caps – it makes it hard to read and after the first 3 lines people stop reading and no one gets your point.

          • Rickgyver, Central CA says:

            Sassy, all caps is “usually” used to indicate a raised voice and seriousness of the statement. I believe in these cases it is because many people neglect to use “shift” to capitalize the first letter. Cut ‘em some slack for now, ok?

      • Omega2 says:

        You want to know why they TRASH OUR CONSTITUTION?? GO AND GOOGLE UP ” THE ACTOF1871″ where you will find out why!!!

      • crystal says:

        Perhaps. But really, how many of that 50% even know or have read any part of the Constitution??

      • IQ 180 says:

        The 2 unwise-men and unwise-women (Obummer, Reid, Polocky) in politics. Everyone please lets just get RICH and out buy and out pay the Liberal/Communist/Democrats. Get a copy of the “The Law of Attraction and the Subconscious Mind 2nd Edition” by Dr. Michael Williams athttp://www.reallawofattraction.net or at amazon.com. It’s the only way we can stop these evil SOB’s short of going to Physical War, and that’s what Obummer want’s so he can declare Marshal Law and make himself King of America. The Liberals don’t want us Conservatives to get our hands on this book, believe me. They want us poor so we can’t fight back. Dr. Williams did a great service for us Conservativs writing this book and we need to support authors like Dr. Williams or we won’t have books like this to build wealth with. The Democrats would love that. God Bless Dr. Williams and GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.

      • Gary says:

        No 50% want the other 50% to provide for them.

    • Mad America says:

      so does pelosi and obama

      • Insurgent says:

        Urkel, Scary Harry, and Triple Ugly give a whole new version of the serial, The StooThregees !!!

        • edward Shick says:

          The stupid people are the working class and retires which allow them to go on lying to us and getting in with voter fraud , we need photo ID + term limits + vote for the Supreme court, Stop foreign aid to countries tat use it to train there children to kill us, + aid to China so they can loan it back to us and charge interest, We now give aid to 152 countries + UN+ the Fed which is tied into central bank .

    • Concerned says:

      And He should know….being “ONE” of the stupidest!

    • Insurgent says:

      Harry is a real dumb @$$ but the people dumber than he—————————–the ones that put him in office (providing the voting machines are not more rigged than the Vegas slots!)

      • Theresa says:

        I have an idea on how to cut spending, first get rid of the stupid pork. the research on how college students text an the chocolate research. We can save millions maybe even billions if they got rid of Pelosi Reid Scheimer Holder Napalitonio, and The Czars, then work down the roll call. Harry Reidan his croonies backing Obama. The unions Acorn funding, all the security details for Pelosi on her journey’s to follow Obama. Michelles clothing wastefull health charts and diets that have failed. This administration has been a complete failure. Reid is a joke. I think his boxing career has really ruined his mind.

        • Linda Stucky says:

          Right on Sister !! It doesn’t take a college degree to understand that!

        • Duke says:

          Have pity on the ole’ fart…………He’s been in Congress since Moses was captain of the “ARC”. He’s so senile, he rambles speaking and he can’t know what he’s saying because of his ailing of “CRS”. That is the only strong solid thing going for the sorry SOB. Pelosi is just a “Yes Whore” and gets her rocks off publicity and “The One” the 4th best president, gets off laughing at both of them.

        • One Drummer says:

          AMEN!! They need to start by getting rid of ACORN!, i.e. voter frauds and all the unions!

      • edward Shick says:

        What did they have for voter turn out ?? 104% , Ohio should do so well

      • Joann says:

        I think the people in Vegas that voted for him were threatened by the UNIONS to VOTE for REID or loose their jobs.

        • William says:

          Unions don’t threaten anybody on how to vote. I’m a union member and I vote the way I want to . People like you need to get their heads out of their a$$es about unions!!!!!!!!!!!

          • david says:

            And you sir! are brain dead!…
            I would have said “brainwashed” but you are a “union member” so you have no brain to wash…
            Unions=Socialism
            for the collective born and to the party surved.

          • A. Carson says:

            William you are the one with head problems if you think that the unions are not flawed and using your funds for the gain of your leaders!!

          • Duke says:

            They have “Willum”! That’s your problem. I was an Officer in the Union, so, I know and unless your a higher up, you have NO PROMISES” of security in the job place and being an officer is not a solid thing if you don’t kiss the right butt. So, don’t give me the union BS. Please spare me………….

      • CalBob says:

        Vegas machines are serviced by members of the SEIU….’nuf said.

    • jan says:

      Look at the people of Nevada. They, I have heard have a “real” unemployment rate of 30% and they still vote him into office. The uneducated or self-centered voter is the problem. We are supposed to vote for what is best for our country and for those who uphold the constitution….instead we vote for cute, funny personality, etc. What cares what the truth is when you have those qualities.

      • Lou says:

        Yea but take away the goverment freebees and see if they will still vote for him

      • Dan Stewart says:

        I firmly believe that people in nevada did vote for the republican candidate, however, the voting machines, rigged by the *(*( union, changed 9 out of 10 to harry a** reid. Expect the same in 2012 if the unions are allowed access to voting machines, country wide. Local governments must make sure this doesn’t happen.

        • edward Shick says:

          I agree it was so crooked it stunk

        • William says:

          Another stupid comment about unions! Unions can’t change peoples votes! Get your head out of your a$$!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          • Sassylady says:

            No, they manipulated the vote counting machines in Nevada. You need to be reading what happened instead of blindly supporting SEIU and the other thugs.

        • Skip Goose says:

          After having been a resident of the state of Nevada since 1944 I can offer some assurance the vast majority of Nevada residents “did not vote” for Reid. His hometown of Searchlight has a population of approximately 700 yet, when all was said and done during the last election, several thousand votes came out of Searchlight. Perhaps it was the busloads of folks brought in to the small community to vote. The Attorney General’s office would not involve themselves when many “legal” voters complained and requested an investigation be conducted. Sharron Angle, who was ahead in the local polls, didn’t stand a chance from the get go. Clark County, which houses the two largest cities in Nevada, separated but by a sign, and Searchlight, is a sanctuary county … Need I say more? Please don’t place the Reid blame on us, the “legal” citizens of Nevada attempted to remove him from office.

          • Eddie G. says:

            Well Skip Goose, with a pop. of 700 but thousands of votes came from Searchlight,it’s no doubt many of those votes must’ve came from the local cemetary. I live in Vegas and Sharron was a shoe-in but Dirty Harry pulled one out of the hat somewhere. Even Steve Wynn can’t stand Harry anymore. If you think Nevada’s election was tainted,you ain’t seen nothin’ yet ’til you see what happens to try and Oboy thrown out. It’s going to be the dirtiest election the Dummycrats and establishment RINOS can muster ever in the history of this country. We are screwed unless there’s a miracle like lightning striking Oboys golf club while on “vacation”!

      • Theresa says:

        Why do they want to do away with ID’s to prove you live in a district to vote. Because they want to undermind the election process. In my opinon as little as it may mean. Is this is the Democrats way of calling the low income and the elderly names saying they are either to stupid or lazy to get an ID, You can’t even shop at a drug store or target walmart to buy medication without id. So it is a ploy by the Democrats to undermind the process

      • bobby nealey says:

        Voter froud and the almighty dollar is the problem.

      • Don Boyer says:

        With the money Reid has made over the years using insider trading and “under the table” bribes for his vote on issues, he has become rich and can buy a lot of votes.
