I JUST got off the phone with Senator Reid’s DC office. Here is the HONEST TO GOD answer I got when I asked WHY Senator Reid would force Democrats into the well of the Senate to filibuster when he will simply allow the Republicans to phone it in.

On FISA:
“Because Senator Reid thinks it’s important to show the nation how important this issue is. He wants people to see Democrats filibustering it”

His little minion also told me the Senator supported the NO retroactive immunity. I asked him then why Senator Reid didn’t JUST bring that bill to the Senate floor, I said HE CAN DO THAT CAN’T HE?

My reply:
“Because Senator Reid thinks it’s important to show the nation how important this issue is. He wants people to see Democrats filibustering it”

What an idiot
