Exercise for Democrats: Open Mouth-Insert Foot

Really Harry Reid...REALLY?!?! Comparing opponents of a govt takeover of health care (without actual reform) is now akin to "supporting slavery"?!? Don't let history or FACTS get in the way of your usual radical leftist rhetoric Harry. Let me remind you it was the REPUBLICANS that tried to abolish slavery ...despite a Democratic attempt (by Strom Thurmond) to filibuster.

Dems fought FOR slavery you idiot hack. Your poll numbers are on par with your IQ. Don't open your mouth if you don't know your history.

Senator Henry Wilson (R-MA) wrote the DC Emancipation Act in 1862, the Dems fought against it. This law to free the 3,100 slaves in the nation's capital was signed by Republican President Abraham Lincoln. Every SINGLE Democrat in Congress voted against it.

In 1864 Congressional Republicans passed the 13th Amendment unanimously – against nearly unanimous Democrat opposition – and it was ratified within the year.

A few more historic accomplishments you can thank the GOP for Harry Reid though I'm sure you and lots of other uninformed people would assume the Dems did these things.

Now tell me, which party is *REALLY* the party of the people?!? The party that has, for 50+, years created an economic platform aimed at keeping people in poverty and dependent on the government *or* the party chock full of economic policy that supports equality, people and business-which is the only reason the majority of the people in this country have jobs. The party that inherited and ended the worst recession since the Great Depression inside of 18 months *or* the party that spent us to near bankruptcy with the promise of job creation, yet drove us up to close to 20% unemployment and only managed to create czar jobs.

Try as you might Mr. Reid, you & Obama can't have every American working in a government job or as a Czar, and poor people don't hire....so maybe be a little less harsh on the GOP when you hurl WRONG information in an attempt to villianize us. Were the reason many of your voters have jobs. You're welcome Harry.
