Romney Tax Cheat? Harry Reid’s Aide Speaks Specifics, Then EATS WORDS

“Harry, Sasquatch on line three…”
By Glenn McCoy – August 8, 2012


The latest on Harry Rumormonger Reid…

After tripling and quartering down on the BIG LIE (senate floor campaigning cowardice) that Mitt Romney is a tax cheat, Recede Reid hasn’t been heard from. But, aah… Yesterday, he sent one of his aides out to furiously fan the flames of fiction. It didn’t go so well:

After days of silence on Harry Reid’s disputed claim that Mitt Romney hasn’t paid taxes for a decade, a top aide finally spilled details on the supposed source of the allegation — only to issue a wholesale retraction of those details by Thursday evening.

Reid aide Jose Parra first made the claims in an interview on Los Angeles’ KTLK radio, defending his boss’ decision to trumpet the tax charge last week on the Senate floor and explaining a bit about the source.

“This person is an investor in Bain Capital, a Republican also, and somebody … who has been dealing with Romney’s company for a long, long time and he has direct knowledge on this,” Parra said.

Parra’s statement comes after Romney challenged fib-squibber Harry to “put up or shut up.”

Stoolpigeon Parra backpedals…

However, after some media attention on Parra’s radio interview, Parra issued a statement taking those remarks back.

I do not know the party affiliation of the source, how long he invested with Bain, or his relationship to Romney …” he said.

Runaway Reid… No surprise here (because he’s on vacation, far away from the protection of the Senate floor!):

Asked Friday about the mix-up, a Reid aide told FoxNews.com the senator “does not have any plans to reveal further information about the identity of his source.”

What a cacophony of calumny and cowardice coming from Obama’s defenders!

Chicken-hearted Harry is holed up somewhere among the cacti in Nevada hoping he won’t choke on the crow he’ll soon be eating.

Hey, Harry. YOU haven’t released your tax information, the unemployment rate in Nevada is still at 11.6% , and Las Vegans are suffering under a 12.6% jobless rate. No matter how much you try to distract, unemployment across America is at 8.3%. And, what about your complete and utter failure to pass a Senate budget in almost 1200 days? What are you hiding? If you’re such a smart guy, why don’t you figure out how to put a budget together?

Senator Secret, if you’re such a lover of the TRUTH, listen to this: Your job performance stinks and you are sorely lacking in ethics. A private-sector employer would have fired you long ago.

    Yes, these are real photos. Harry spent a day playing around at Red Rock Canyon, Nevada to help Michelle get her “Let’s Move Outside” initiative going. Back in the summer of 2010 he was desperate for positive press to help him win his mid-term election. Evidently, he thought having cameras catching him playing clap-clap in the desert with Mrs. O was just the ticket.

    Reid will jump at any chance for self-preservation, even if his nerdiness is photographed to be forever preserved. But – expect a yearly budget out of this guy? No. Expect a budget in the last FOUR years? No. And it’s well known that bills coming out of the House face a quick death in Harry Reid’s senate. He’s a bill-killing, lying, pat-a-caking coward.

    But, Reid is a CUNNING, lying, pat-a-caking coward. Here’s how he, the loathed incumbent, beat his competition, Sharon Angle – and it’s vital we remember what he did because he wants Obama to have four more years to finish his agenda:

    ‘The Reid campaign knew there was such a thing as being too extreme. They exploited every odd or inconsistent Angle remark in punishing TV and ubiquitous Web ads. If she said something about working women, a pro-Reid press conference with prominent Nevada women scolding her would follow. When they believed they had caught her demeaning people with autism, they encouraged parents of autistic children to call journalists.

    The Reid operation was a marvel of rapid response, no surprise from a senator who, upon his ascension to majority leader in 2005, set up the Democratic War Room to react more aggressively to President George W. Bush. No concern was too small; when I wrote a whimsical blog post wondering whether a TV ad really was filmed in Las Vegas because of an unfamiliar Strip vista in the background, the state’s top political strategist called me within an hour to provide the precise coordinates of the shoot.

    Reid’s manipulation of the state’s broader, long-term political universe also paid off. He engineered the January 2008 caucuses in Nevada, the first time the state was a factor in the Democratic nominating process. A thrilling Obama-Clinton tussle drove a huge surge in Democratic voter registrations and built a database that would become invaluable two years later in pinpointing likely voters and hounding them indefatigably to go cast their ballots.

    And then, of course, Reid orchestrated a long list of political maneuvers—ensuring the defeat of a three-term Republican congressman, getting a potential rival a federal judiciary appointment, possibly even having a hand in a specious, later dismissed, indictment of the sitting lieutenant governor—to clear the field of well-known, popular opponents. That opened the door for Angle, who nailed the Tea Party Express endorsement just as the movement was ascending.

    By the time he strolled onto the stage on Tuesday arm-in-arm with wife Landra wearing a Cheshire Cat grin, all of Reid’s best-laid plans had gone perfectly and he had not only won but done so convincingly. It was so effective that pundits began sifting through Angle’s ashes for clues to how President Obama could win reelection or how Republicans could avoid such a disaster.

    Yet lessons are few and far between. Clearly the importance of the Hispanic vote looms as a complicated national question, and Romero said Obama must push for comprehensive immigration reform more aggressively if he wants to compete in Nevada and similarly diverse bellwether states. Tarkanian said he believes that Tea Party activists must learn that “just because you don’t agree with 100 percent of what I say doesn’t mean I can’t be a Republican.”

    But the state’s top Democratic consultant, Billy Vassiliadis, said the circumstances of Reid’s triumph are unique. Reid’s survival does help Obama be competitive in Nevada in 2012 because Reid remains able to activate that voter-turnout effort…

    Exploited every odd/inconsistent remark… Rapid response… REMEMBER and LEARN.
