I don't think any Demcrat in his life has ever apologized. It was said on the Senate floor, so he couldn't be sued. As Muldoon said to the raptor that pops out of the bushes, "clever girl."

You know this campaign is getting tedious when even I am getting tired of it.

Underlining mine - that's not true. He said it in an interview with the Huffington Post. I thought the same thing and then checked it before I posted it here just to make sure someone else didn't call me out on that. So far as the other but, he can't be sued because Romney is a public figure and he hedged what he said a little - just enough to make Romney almost certainly unable to prevail.

Also, holy crap, it looks the MSM is actually calling for an apology as well. Google "harry reid mitt romney taxes 10 years" and look at news for some hits on that.

The actual speech was made on the Senate floor.

The MSM may call for it, but they will never get it. Now in the Democrats' defense you'll never see an apology from a Republican either.

Reid is a crank and a failure as a President pro Tempore. Its like the entire Senate just quit doing anything after 2010.

Interestingly enough...I've heard a possible reason he wont release his returns is the Mormon Church. He is supposed to pay a tithe of all his income to the church. Were his tax returns to show he hasn't been doing that, he would lose his position as an elder of the church and likely be excommunicated.

I doubt that. I would assume it's more than likely due to the 2009 tax amnesty--which would be very difficult for him to explain--and if true, end the disaster of the campaign his staff is running.

Oh, they did things, just no the things you want them to do.

However they did do what nearly every American wanted them to do.

I think the very important issue of the Sportsman Bill took priority this time around.....

At least the senate killed the veterans bill last week. Those dang welfare queens need to quit mooching of the government, not like our wars caused their problems...

Ah... I'm torn on the issue...

If there's one thing you won't get an argument from me... is whatever veterans needs, they should get.

It seems that procedurally, it would pass if they can figure out how to pay for it... (which usually means, what can we cut in order to fund this?).

Then why do the Republicans always accuse Democrats of apologizing for America?

Are they on camera? then the answer is simple: they are lying.
