Reid, don't even talk. You wouldn't stick around to debate an energy bill over the summer, so why should congress be in session Saturdays and Sundays?? Why don't you just actually DO SOMETHING during the normal times you're supposed to be on the senate floor? Congressmen and women have families too that they need to spend time with, and go to church sundays as well. It's good to have a break anyways. Too much debating could make you guys all dumber. You need rest. Why didn't you just say NO to the bailouts and debate real bills the past few months? Seriously, Reid and Pelosi need a vacation or something. They sound dumber and dumber each day.

Would you buy a used car from Harry?
And he is the cream of the Democratic party along with Nancy that will lead the country out of the wilderness.

There are a lot of people who would like to get a raise, too, Senator Reid. You're getting one. How 'bout showing some real empathy and convincing your brethren to forgo their automatic pay raises?

That's the truth. Be very grateful you have jobs. Congress is the only job where you keep getting raises and promotions and keep getting elected, without any expectation of progress or production. Working anywhere else most of the Senate and the House would have already been fired! And Prince Harry and Princess Nancy would suck as CEOs.

And one of the FIRST votes to be taken should be to renounce the automatic pay raises!
