If Reid refuses to put Public Option in merged bill, should Reid be sacked?

[Faryn Balyncd]

What kind of a Democratic leader would ignore 61% to 65% of Americans?


And is a leader worthy of his office if he were to create a merged bill without a public option when even 47% of REPUBLICAN voters support a public option?

1. I say sack him anyway - or else we're going to have to go through this again on climate...

and again and again.

[Ian David]

2. Fuck yah. n/t

[The Magistrate]

3. Yes, Sir: Put Bluntly, He Should Be Sacked In Any Case

Not worth a bucket of warm spit....

[orleans]

8. i agree. n/t

[get the red out]

4. He's not doing a great job of it

I think we need a change in his position. Senator Reed is simply a "poor fit".

[AlinPA]

5. Didn't know he had that intention. Incredible if he does. What a loser.

[regnaD kciN]

6. I don't believe he does.

Could we stop the Chicken Little act until we actually have some basis for our fears, please?

[tblue]

7. How can that man be Majority Leader??? Patrick Leahy would be better.

Reid is doing more harm than good, never mind that he makes us look like such wimps.

[LuvNewcastle]

9. I'd like to know how he got there

in the first place.

[Individualist]

10. What kind of leader?

A DLC member.

[Enrique]

11. I've read some convoluted logic saying it might be good to leave it out

some strategy where leaving the public option out of the Senate bill would make its ultimate passage more likely.

I didn't understand it, maybe someone else knows what I'm talking about and can explain it.

[Faryn Balyncd]

21. What is the motive of those who say you get what is needed by asking for less?

[laughingliberal]

12. Uh, yeah nt

[Pab Sungenis]

13. Yeah, but it won't happen

The Democrats are suffering from political Battered Wife Syndrome. We think we deserve the abuse our leaders and the Republicans give us.

[samplegirl]

14. Absolutely

the most important bill ever and without public option we are all screwed.

[jgraz]

15. I think that's the first time the words "Reid" and "sack" have appeared together in a sentence.

[bertman]

20. Not really. I once said "Harry REID is a worthless SACK of shit" in another DU post

Sorry, jgraz.

Well, maybe I didn't actually use those exact words, but I most likely did since I think he's a despicable wimp of a right-wing Democrat who should be holding Al Franken's briefcase instead of claiming to be the Senate Majority Leader.

All he's good for is keeping the minerals extraction industry from having to pay anything to the United States treasury for all of the BILLIONS of dollars of minerals they dig out of our good earth.

[Ardent15]

16. Make Jack Reed or Durbin the Majority Leader if that comes to happen.

[madrchsod]

17. he should have been gone a long time ago

kerry or durbin should be running things....

[lumberjack_jeff]

18. If Reid doesn't put it in the bill, the house won't pass it. n/t

[HuckleB]

19. Yup.
