Harry Reid Tells the Far Left to Back Off

  Elected Democrats loved the liberal activist groups when Bush was president. Any coverage by the media of their protests was welcomed as was the pressure they tried to apply to President Bush.

  As the president’s approval ratings fell, the Democrats slid more and more to the left, to the delight of the far left wing of the party. Now that the Democrats hold the White House and a larger majority in the house and senate they don’t find the far left as useful as they once did.

  The far left hasn’t changed their opinion of the war and they are also growing frustrated with moderate Democrats who are hesitant to agree to the president’s bloated budget. Far leftist groups are now beginning to target moderate Democrats in television ads, much to the chagrin of Harry Reid, who has a warning for them.

I think it’s very unwise and not helpful,” Reid said Friday morning. “These groups should leave them alone. It’s not helpful to me. It’s not helpful to the Democratic Caucus

   The fact is that these people have beliefs, I disagree with all of them, but they are holding true to these beliefs and they should. If they see politicians who are not in agreement with them on the issues it seems natural that they would run ads against them.

  The other fact here is that these Democrats used these far left groups to get elected by representing themselves as something they were not. Now they are upset that the far left is turning against them when it is they who are not holding up their end of the bargain.

  Harry Reid and the rest of the Democrat leadership just assumed that once they got power the far left would be silent and they would be free to govern as they wished. This is not the case, the far left voted for these people for a reason and that reason was the promises they made. If Democrats are not going to keep the promises they made to the far left than they have no business becoming indignant towards the people they misled.

  The far left expected too much from the Democrats and now they are becoming discontent. Harry Reid has nobody to blame but himself and his party, they are the ones who promised the world to the far left. Once they were elected they kicked the far left to the curb.

  In the end President Obama is probably going to pass quite a bit of the far left’s agenda, with the exception of the war, and this will all be for naught and all will be forgiven. But I am going to enjoy it while it lasts.
