Will Harry Reid’s Rants and “Reasoning” Lead to His Recall?

Harry-Reid-Is-IncompetentPetitions, Op-eds, surveys, and a Facebook community page are calling for Senate Majority leader Harry Reid’s recall. The strongest case for me is made by Forbes contributor Mark Hendriskson’s in his January 1, 2014 op-ed. He lists five valid points that would justify Reid’s recall:

  • Reid’s resistance, delay, and active suppression of a federal budget.
  • Reid’s authorization of state governments to collect tax on interstate Internet sales without debate.
  • Reid’s blocking of any effort to fix Social Security’s underfunding, refusing to debate.
  • Reid sought to make it impermissible for any future Congress to ever change Obamacare’s Sect. 3403 of the act.
  • Reid usurped traditional majority rule of executive branch nominees and judges nominated for all courts except the Supreme Court with the approval of a simple majority of senators. 60 votes are no longer needed.

Patriots might want to reflect on both Hendrickson’s piece and some of Reid’s statements before deciding to sign a petition or fill in a survey.

As you read Reid’s musing, consider Matthew 12:34b says, “For out of the fullness (the overflow, the superabundance) of the heart the mouth speaks.”
