Harry Reid: ‘Tea Party Is Dying Out’
by Wynton HallIn an appearance on “Meet the Press” Sunday morning, Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) claimed that the Tea Party is “dying out” heading into the 2012 elections.
Here’s Sen. Reid’s exchange with reporter David Gregory:
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.
SEN. REID: Well, but that’s during the past year. I would hope that the two Republican leaders have learned what took place in the previous year. And, you know, what we have to focus on this year is rebuilding the economy. We have to, and the only way to do that is to create jobs and that’s why the agenda that I’m moving forward on, I hope with some cooperation from the Republicans this time, is to do something about creating jobs. Our surface transportation bill, it’ll save a million jobs, create a lot more jobs, Federal Aviation Administration, that’s more than 200,000 jobs. We’re having a very important piece of legislation, important to this network right here, IP, and that’s of course dealing with informational–with, with making sure that we have intellectual property that’s protected and we need to do that. And that–that’s also job saving. So that’s what we need to work on, things that create jobs and protect the American economy.
In the 2010 midterm elections, the Tea Party was widely credited with having helped propel Republicans to win an historic 63 House seats, six Senate seats, gain six governorships, and gain an unprecedented 680 seats in state legislatures.

Reid doesn't even know what day of the week it is.
Hey Reid – go flock yourself – you and your buddies are going on permanent vacation soon, but this time you'll have to pay for your own plane tickets and accommodations.
Dingy reid is as demented as piglosi.
HARRY is full of BS one more time.
Reid is such a smug little bstrd. If only he would go door to door in my state, and maybe end up at my house. I'd show him what a dying party looks like.
BREAKING:
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH THE FIRST LADY….
http://www.popmodal.com/video/12110/FIRST-LADY-IN...
If we "Are" Dying Out, our Ghosts will haunt Harry and the Liberals forever.
Krappolla…that means when we all die we automatically start voting Democrat.
I don't know about you, but I ALWAYS listen to a lunatic-left d-cRAT socialist like "Cowboy Poetry" dingy harry reid to learn about the Tea Party, Fox News, the conservative movement, the US Constitution, patriotism, self-reliance, American values and every other matter of importance. Where else can you get such hilarious, side-splitting, incredibly stupid, nonsensical, inane garbage that even a five year old wouldn't believe ?
If Harry says the Tea Party is dying, that means they just got another 10 million new members.
Isn't this the same guy who said we had lost the war in Iraq, pre-surge?
Dear Nevada Voters,
Please allow me to once again take the opportunity to thank you for sharing the wonders that are Harry Reid with the rest of the nation. In the future please feel free to horde the blessing that is Sen. Reid within your own borders. Until such time I will continue to direct all resources to which I have access AWAY from the state of Nevada. Elections have consequences and I'll be damned if I will be responsible for subsidizing the STUPID which you're selling.
In closing know that you as a target for my economic ire are not alone. I do not patronize merchants from California, Illinois, New York, Washington or Oregon.
Sincerely,
LibertyGeek
the t-party is in hibernation like the OWS. It is winter in the northern hemisphere
The truth is Harry Reid is "dying out", his number of years in congress and on Earth support this undeniable fact….
History has shown that as long as One Liberal Still Walks The Earth there will be a need for the TEA Party.
Correction: Harry Reid is dying out.
"Harry Reid: ‘Tea Party is Dying Out’"
:LMAO…From an dingy moron that doesn't even have a pulse.
I like it…it's true!
Not soon enough.
He looks like a damned cadaver,
He and Callista Gingrich could get jobs as mannequins in Macy's Window.
I'll bet the Tea Party's shelf life is longer than Reid's.
Harry has just demonstrated over and over again his disdain for the Tea Party and his role in its creation.
Harry, you created the Tea Party. Now you want to give it a late term abortion?
Good luck with that one, Mr. Democrat Party who force fed Obama Care on the citizenary.
I hope you spend 2013 ad nausium as a minority in a Senate that has regained its sanity.
:->
He's confusing the Tea Party with the prospects of his future.
SEN. REID: "Oh, sure, no question about it. And, and, and you–and, and you"………David Gregory should have smacked him in the back of the head right then………………and knocked that answer out of him.
Harry Reid is practicing the art of "If you can believe it, you can achieve it."
Three cleansing breaths, sit tall, find your center and….visualize 2012!
OWS didn't turn out as well as Teh Left had gleefully imagined when it took that dark turn and occupied DC. They've nothing to lose by going existential. Can't hurt & might help as I always say.
***UpTwinkles***
Pretty much covers it.
Reid says this every time he gets a chance in the hope that if he says it often enough he will believe it. He says the TEA Party is dying out and points to what has happened in the last year as proof? He mutters that the Republicans need to see what has happened in the last year as some kind of proof? He is rambling and nonsensical.
He has gone mad.
Harry was a boxer Cowboy, you better be careful………..he's liable to drop you like a 2 foot putt. You may have to put him in your "Montana Sleeper" hold. I understand when applied properly……..you don't wake up from that one.
Harry hasn't been right about anything yet. Why would he tarnish such a track record now?
Do you remember the riddle from when you were younger, where you had to find out, who tells the truth and who lies, and you did this by finding a false statement from one of them and therefore you knew who the liar was, and through process of elimination you knew who the person who always told the truth was?
Well this reminds me of that because Reid says this statement the tea party is dying out as the economy is slowly getting better.
http://www.usdebtclock.org/ </~~~ go see for yourself the debt is going up by the second, the economy isn't getting better slowly, its actually getting worse at a pretty fast pace.
So I guess we can see already that Reid, doesn't always tell the truth. Then you got to remember that the national debt doesn't even include half of the real debt, how about social security which they spent, and left nothing but an IOU in its place!!
Crazy like a fox, do you believe he just happened to be walking by and decided to come in for an interview/chat? He gets paid huge for spreading the lies.
He looks like a boxer.
Although I can't decide he resembles a pair of shorts, or a dog.
If you stand Reid up next to the Tea Party, it would be obvious that Reid is a corps. (I made a funny)
LOL anybody who votes democrat or republican is obviously enjoying the economy collapsing.
Sorry, denial boi. The Tea Party has been busy taking action–NOT protesting. November 2010 was just the beginning.
The truth is always the OPPOSITE of what any liberal says.
Long Live Tea!!!!
Yep. We kicked nancy to the curb. Now we get to kick harry to the curb. I look forward to it! Hoo ray for the Tea Party!!!
To me, Harry Reid flat-lined long ago. It's a shame he's has the position.
We are out here in flyover country and we are not hardly dead. As the election gets closer our numbers will swell again. We are in a holding pattern waiting to swoop in. I believe that any American who does not have a sign in their yard for whomever is challenging Obama is a traitor to our country. There are many more who feel the same as I do and they will be out fighting for our freedom from this oppressive non-representative federal government. Just wait Harry!!!
You wish harry. bye bye BIG spending BIG govt dems. I will be so happy to see a bunch MORE of the dem senators GONE in 2013.
Politicians do this regularly. Precious Teddy was known for having words come out of his mouth and sycophants mewling for more, even when what he said was ridiculously preposterous. Neither Reid nor Pelosi have reached that sainted status in their party.
He is still rambling and nonsensical and he still hopes that his meme will be spread far and wide and that someone will believe it.
Ain't that the truth! Particulary Liberal leaders.
Yep. We don't have time to camp out and diddle each other.
He is Nevada's Baghdad Bob…..That is one scary electorate.
Reid is just another fascist that like to run under the banner of "progressive". He even does it with that elitist "I know better than all you peasants" attitude. Have to love that. Best to ignore whatever the guy says.
What ever happened to the Coffee party?
The tea party is not dying out – it is just mainstream and therefore omnipresent like the air we breathe.
David Gregory interviews Harry Reid. Stop there.
What's dying out is a dignified, moral way of life in this country thanks to vermin like Harry Reid and the gang of criminals running this country.
Reed is like Bagdad Ali – There are no US tanks in Bagdad! We are winning! Everything is fine!
keep on TRYING to convince yourself Dingy..
just keep on TRYIN..
WE are comin on election day..
and HELL is COMIN with U.S. !!
Reid, like most libs, doesn't know what T.E.A. stands for. I am very vocal when it comes to politics and ask people what T.E.A. stands for. Most think it has something to do with the revolution. I educate them on the meaning and the why and how the T.E.A. party was formed. WE have gone nowhere! WE are still here and mad as HE!!!. Just look for the working American taxpayer that pays attention to politics and you will see US. What I get a kick out of is the way the libs trash US. What can they be afraid of, old men and women in church basements? Joe "the plumber" who was investigated by his elected representitives to find something to discredit him for asking a question that obama was incapable of understanding and answering? I am T.E.A. and please refer to me in the proper, not in the minor. I make this country work!!!!
Long Live The Peaceful Clean Respectful Tea Party! ★ ★ ★ ★ ★
Why don't you take up the budget bill that was submitted to the Senate months ago, Harry? You worthless piece of crap.
KUDOS! What a slap in the A$$. BRAVO!!!!
Not enough bandwidth for me to express my full appreciation for this piece of work. Suffice to say…If it looks like a weasel, makes noises like a weasel…well, that's definitely a weasel.! Harry "The Weasel" ….kinda catchy.
Obama Sacrifices Pawns for Politics

"The time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves."
George Washington
Why does Breitbart even put this mutterings on here?
Harry was so excited somebody asked him question, almost pee'd himself.
This is an old dem ploy that if a lie is told often enough and loud enough, it will eventually become true, even when it isn't. This is their first salvo. I'd just like to say to Harry: No, Harry, the Tea Party is not dying out, whereas the dem party is. You and your party have outlived your usefulness. It's time for all of you to go.
ALL of the time.
Is it is, and I never heard him say he made a mistake, either.
old fart won't stop, nut job
Harry, Harry, Harry……………blow it out your a$$. We, The Tea Party are just being quiet for now because of the republican campaigns that are going on. When it is over with and a canidate is choses, WE will be back and in a bigger force to reckon with. You my friend are a loser, just like in your boxing days when you got punched in the head way to many times. You're a nut case! Question: What kind of person votes for you is the big question?????
Senile bastard.
So the 'economy improved' in the past year where the Tea Party was in office. And somehow, Harry thinks he's the reason for the 'turnaround'?
First, there is no turnaround, second there is the reason for no turnaround is the fault of Hapless Harry and Bumbling Barry.
I do tend to agree with that.
10000 Volunteers to go thru recall signatures. Dying out…heheheheh
Hold that thought Harry….hold it.
Reid is a professed self-sequestered person. True. Obama won't let him read a blog. Lost in a whole diferent world.
..on a different note, CNN is pushing that the Coffee Party has actually overtaken the Tea Party in popularity. Watch CNN try do that tommorrow. How funny would that be if I'm right.
I think the tea party’s dying out.
False. The Tea Party appeared on Google's home page today 01/18/2012.
The economy’s getting better.
False. The dollar is 1.06 compared to the Swiss franc and the loser Democrats are responsible.
Reid is saying the most mind boggling stupid things. Just like Jimmy Carter.
Reid needs to go far away and take Obama with him. Simply delusional.
Our T Party meeting Monday night was well attended and we had 2 speakers, one running for US Senate.
Well I am certainly not repsectful of any one on the left. Not in the least.
Hey Harry…..WE the TParty are too busy behind the scenes to to hang out in a Park and do NOTHING but cause trouble! "WE" are busy at work telling ALL our friends and neighbors and everyone we meet the TRUTH about you IDIOTS in WASHDC who can 'SMELL' your Constituents waiting on line who you think should bow down to you! We are busy educating our new young voters against your LIBERAL disease and massing our group of CONSERVATIVES that you fear so much. We are watching your every move and you wont get away with the VOTER FRAUD this time around because we are AWAKE and our massive GET OUT THE VOTE Volunteers will make sure YOU are on the unemployment line next time around! So keep thinking we are DEAD……your NIGHT is coming……Night of the LIVING TEA PARTY ……WE are coming for you!!!
Dying?!…Lol….Hey Harry stand-by and behold the Resurrection.
He and his cohorts did lose…..they tried to ensure the USA left Iraq beaten, beaten down and utterly demoralized.
You Betcha he said "we" lost and he was entirely correct. His "we" consists of the anti American pukes who did everything they could to undermine what is supposed to be their country and countrymen – all in the desire to gain political power. This is most certainly not "WE The People", this "we" that Harry speaks of.
Mr. Reid, you are a traitor to your own nation and her people. Without a doubt, history will view your treasonous ways as it should. – with with the disdain and disrespect that your misguided desire for power drove you to be remembered as fully deserving of.
Yeah MS, THAT guy.
If Sharron Angle WON he wouldn't be saying that.
Unfortunately Nevada didn't give him the message.
If only Nevada kicked him to the curb in 2010
Whatever this Nazi tells us, we can be damn sure the opposite is true.
FEAR US REID! WE AREN'T GOING AWAY.
STFU you old fart,
The only thing dying out is you, Pelosi, Boxer and the rest of your pathetic libtarded friends.
I guess I have to occupy something to get noticed
Nah, he and the Dems went to the Goebels school of propaganda: if you repeat it enough, it must be true. He's gotten so old and senile that he believes his own lies.
In his dreams.
If they ever do a remake of the old "Dennis the Menace" TV Series, Harry Reed would be a natural to play the gay pedohile neighbor, Mr. Wilson.
Today is the day Newt Gingrich’s campaign ended. He hasn’t officially dropped out, but he is now a dead candidate walking. Besides the bombshell one of Newt’s previous wives is dropping on Newt, http://t.co/FO0aqDx4 might be even worse.
Brevity is the soul of wit. Very well said.
More wishful thinking from a dunce….
:………Harry Reid: ‘Tea Party Is Dying Out’……."
Lotta hot air from Harry (?) or this site (?)
This summer in Wisconsin we will know,……..
who is hot and who is not.
IN THAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!!!! the questioner doesn't even have an opportunity to finish his sentence!!!!
It's more like the tea is brewing, Harry!!!
What a delusional head case. If this man doesn't have dementia, I would be totally surprised.
Hey Dingy, get some help. Leave the Senate.
By the way, WE HAVEN'T GONE ANYWHERE!
TEA!
Hey Harry….. STFU.
Harry Reid reeks of embalming fluid.
And he calls US dead……..
The Tea Party is doing its job…the GOP is not.
i agree. he's crazy.
Harry Reid is a Weasel that took too many punches to the head!!
Did anyone notice that he blatantly admitted the Tea Party was about the economy and government spending and not one bit about race? Whoops!!! Did he actually admit it was about the money and not race? Is that a solid admission by Reid.
Nevada…you gave this 'cat' another life to spread his lies and deceptions too many times! He should have been eradicated in 2010…but no…you just had to have your 'boy' back in there to destroy more of what is left of our great and mighty Republic!
He has taken too many blows to the head…and is demented and too crazy for words…kinda like "Pot" Paul on the LIBERALtarian side…both peas of the same pod so to speak!
Your false messiah is going down in November 2012…Harry…then what ya gonna do…with a false messiah?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAaQNACwaLw
Yes, Harry. Shutting down the internet for everyone with SOPA so that Disney can make more money exploiting children and hypocrite liberal actors can make a few million extra off their movies sounds like a great way to create jobs. That "surface transportation" bill will most likely be diverting more taxpayer money from roads to worthless "light rail" systems that no one uses in the first place. It's not the 1800's anymore; we have cars…
Harry Reid is a joke.
Harry, You wish!
tic … tic … tic … enjoy yourselves now leftists, your 15 minutes are almost up. … tic … tic … tic …
