Harry Reid asks for weekend off – To attend a Fundraiser with his Louisiana Purchase Mary Landrieu

reid-grimHarry Reid, who so desperately wants to get the ObamaCARE bill finished by Christmas, is now urging Republicans on the Senate floor to forego a debate on several conference reports this weekend in order to give Senators and staffers the weekend off. You know they work so hard in the Senate and all. Here’s dingy Harry’s quote from ABC:

“I understand the Republican leader doesn’t want us to do health care. I appreciate that. He and I have different positions on that,” said Reid. “I see no reason to punish everybody this weekend and I hope the minority will give strong consideration to the proposal that i’ve made.”


But what Harry Reid doesn’t say is that he has a $1,000 plus per plate fundraiser scheduled for Saturday in New Orleans, according to one local paper called New Orleans City Business. The Louisiana Purchase #2 Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-LA, a key swing moderate in the health care debate, will also be in attendance. When he visits New Orleans, Tea Party activists from throughout Louisiana will greet him. They even have labeled their rally “A Streetcar Named Retire” in honor of Reid. They plan to gather in front of Voelker’s St. Charles Avenue home and protest, singing specially designed Christmas carols in honor of Landrieu and Reid!
