Harry Reid: “Tea Party Dying Out” Because The Economy Is Getting Better…

(click image for video)

Wait, the economy is getting better?

Via RCP:

MR. GREGORY: Well, almost a year ago, I talked to you. You thought the tea party would die out as the economy got better. You, you weren’t right about that.

SEN. REID: Well, I think the tea party’s dying out as the economy’s getting better slowly.

MR. GREGORY: You do think that?

SEN. REID: Oh, sure, no question about it. And, and, and you — and, and you. . .

MR. GREGORY: Well, we just talked about their, their muscular impact on the process.

    Tea party wasn’t protesting a bad economy.

    They are obsessed with the Tea Party because they know we are just waiting for our chance to get rid of all the bums in D.C. come November 2012.

    Does Harry want to shut us up?

    First off, he doesn’t look well. Second, I want some of whatever it is that he is smoking. They all (elected in Congress), see what is coming and they are scared shitless!!

    Seemed to me that Glen Beck had a lot to do with the tea party’s momentum. Once soros got him off of FOX tv, his radio show wasn’t enough to keep the energy going and I guess he even backed off a lot of what he was doing for fear of his family’s safety.

    Beck and Palin were a huge driving force and both have been pushed to the background.

    So what are we at right now….a 5% or less approval rating of Congress??

    Harry is dropping buzz words to his voting base. He is afraid of true Americans and Patriots. When is one of the talking heads going to ask him about not passing a budget for over a 1000 days or bringing the pass it now jobs bill up for a vote?

  9. Jimco says:
    January 15, 2012 at 7:07 pm

    Actually Harry, it’s the democrats that are dying out. And don’t say dying, it’s uncivil. P.S. Do your damn job and pass a budget.

    Reidiot,

    Tea Party was about gov’t spending, the size and intrusiveness of gov’t, and returning gov’t to Constitutional powers.

    It’s not going away.

    Wait until we have a candidate little Harry, and don’t forget the Senate is in play too. You will be tossed little Harry and the Tea Party will prevail. You and you pal Nancy will both have lost power due to your dear leader.

    These fcks are mistaking our quiet resolve as weakness.
    Big mistake.
    We are watching. Our momentum builds, as we see obama’s army, shit on cop cars, leaves infants alone in tents at rallies, rape, murder, steal, brawl and burn the flag as they languish in their own squalor, hating America.
    We are more committed than ever to defeating these scum.
    And we will do it.

  23. Bud says:

    What liberals fail to grasp is that the tea party had nothing to do with them; it was a reaction to the failure of the conservatives in government.

    The reason it is dying out is because conservative voters are content to vote for any old RINO just to get rid of Obama. I have no doubt that if the Republicans ran Bill Clinton as their candidate Republican voters would vote for him.

    If they say the economy is getting better, its getting worse.

    If they tell us the tea party is going away, its getting stronger.

    If they say an attack on us was not muslim related, then rest assured it was islamic jihadists that did it. (Ft Hood, anyone?)

    …Anyone seeing the pattern?

    well, you idiot Harry, you might want to read some real news.

    the euro’s done… and that aftermath is going to affect the US in a very bad way…

    http://www.zerohedge.com/news/german-anger-finally-coming-boil-even-local-ceos-say-time-exit-euro-may-have-arrived

    I wonder if ignorant men like Gregory have any clue how much real news is found on the internet, ya know, stories that include actual facts, and numbers, context, economic history, etc.. they come on TV and ask such superficial questions, no foundation of any ecnomic knowledge. Well, of course Brian Williams takes pride in being a college dropout as does Chuck Toad, and that would be a nonissue if at least they picked up an economic book, but nah, why bother? just read off the democrat’s talking points.

    and no you idiot Harry, the tea party isn’t gone, its only grown, and waiting for november 2012.

  32. a former dem says:
    January 15, 2012 at 8:16 pm

    http://www.rasmussenreports.com/

    proof that the establishment media is massively losing audience and credibility, and it will only accelerate as they shill for the DNC.

    The press is supposed to hold whoever is in power accountable, they only do when repubs and conservatives are in charge, dems, liberals not just a free pass, they get advocates from the “free” establishment press.

    Harry…you are exactly right. the Tea party is dying out – until next next November 2012 and suddenly wake up and VOTE OUT EVERY F…… MARXIST DEMOCRAT WE CAN. See you next November.

  36. spepper says:
    January 15, 2012 at 9:29 pm

    Dingy Harry is squeezing his eyes shut and wishing the Tea Party would disappear– he will be sorely disappointed when he finally opens them again– the fact that ones like Reid are still a member of Congress is proof that the Tea Party is NOT “dying out”, because it is needed more than ever to oppose vermin such as he….

    Reid, you’re gonna see how much we’ve “died out” come next summer and fall…This time we’re going to make nov 2010 look like a small turnout for the right… Your economy, with the land deals and all, might be getting better, but not where I’m at…Obviously lying outright is the new Dem mantra, but real unemployment is easily 20%, and you goddamn well know it, liar…

    Gee Gregory, why didn’t you ask him some important questions like where is the budget you were required to have put forward over three years ago? And tell me why, if Obama’s jobs bill is so good, haven’t you brought it to the floor for a vote. And what about that budget which Obama put forward, why wasn’t it able to garner a single vote, Republican or Democrat?

    What exactly is the GOP doing to stop the raising of the debt ceiling?It takesa human 32,000 yrs to count to a Trillion.
    what are they doing to thwart epa regs? Just for example. I hear whining but no action. How bout a GOP budget delineating what the Donks have done?
    As far as the ObamaNoCare is concerned…I think the Gop has seen all the power in the control of peoples’ health. They see thousands of easy mail-in High dollar jobs running the various parts of the Obamanocare. so nothing is being done. We are stuck with it .

    We’re not dying out. We’re busy working and being productive, taking care of our families’ and our own business. We’re biding our time until election day. Not much more we can do till then. Quietly waiting.

    I just went to a political event, in Michigan for God’s sake, and I got business cards of 4 different Tea Party leaders who have weekly TP meetings. And they aren’t even the TP groups in my surrounding area. I am thinking about starting a TP in my very immediate area. The TP will never go away because everyone who wants LIBERTY, Small Government, and the Constitution is a Tea Party state of mind. Oh and dumb ass, the economy isn’t getting better because you Socialists are running the show. Just because we WORK and don’t protest everything, everyday doesn’t mean we are dying out because we will never quit until people like you are elected OUT of office. Capiche?

    Actually, the economy is doing better, not one little bit of has anything to do with Obama. Europe is finally going to have to pay the price of socialism which puts every European currency in the toilet, leaving only the dollar and Swiss Franc. If the Franc rises to much, it will put Switzerland out of business and the Swiss have acted by tying the Franc to the Euro, so all the hot money is flowing to the states. The result – zero interest rates. That moves pension fund money into the stock market, they have to have some return so naturally the stock market moves up. Another bubble in the making. All G20 governments have colluded to put the squeeze on interest rates, when that pressure cooker blows it is going to blow big.

    And now for the good news. This is the very first month, month #36 of the Obama administration that has seen an entire month go by without a single bank failure. Nearly 400 until then. Think back to the halcyon days of 2008 when only 3 wnet bust.

    Lest I am accused of exaggeration, I have just gone through the FDIC data, the actual number from Jan.09 to Dec. 11 is 389 banks that have been closed down by the FDIC. Another curious fact is that in their first press release from 09 they talk abouth the nation’s insured 8,384 banks and savings institutions, in their last one in December 2011 they talk about the nation’s 7,437 insured institutions. So 389 went bust and 558 went missing.
