Reid Tea Party "extremism"

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Sunday prepared for Congress' return to Washington this week with a warning to Republicans to leave Tea Party "extremism" behind and "learn what legislation is all about." He said it's time to rebuild America by working together to create jobs.

"I would hope that they understand that everything doesn't have to be a fight. Legislation is an art of working together, building consensus, compromise. And I hope that the Tea Party doesn't have the influence in this next year that they had in the previous year," Reid said.

Reid claims that Republicans are engaged in "obstructionism on steroids," the Nevada Democrat said Barack Obama for two and a half years "bent over backwards" to reach out to Republicans, only to find a fist rather than a hand to shake. Reid said he'd prefer that Democrats not have to go it alone in the Senate this year, but since last September they have succeeded on moving several items without minority cooperation.

"I hope that the Republicans will understand, as they learned in the last week in the last year, that they can't be led over the cliff by this extremism," Reid said.

The Senate led by Harry Reid hasn't passed a budget in over 1000 days. The Senate led by Reid has refused to take up over 125 bills passed in the House.

When has Obama reached out to the Republicans? When he was having problems with Obamacare he held a joint conference to remind the Republicans that he won and elections have consequences. I believe the Republicans cleaned house in the 2010 elections. Yes elections do have consequences.

Obama, Reid, and the Democrats are the extremists not the Tea Party. Obama's campaign will be running against a do nothing Congress. Obama and Reid don't want any legislation passed.
