Interesting: Utah county prosecutor investigating Harry Reid...

Instead if Dingy Harry Reid, it may be Dirty Harry Reid...

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A Utah county prosecutor said Wednesday he is investigating U.S. Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada in connection with a pay-to-play scheme involving two former Utah attorneys general.
Davis County Attorney Troy Rawlings, a Republican, said in a statement that he's looking into allegations related to the Democratic senator.
Rawlings declined to disclose the allegations and only said the claims are based on information from witnesses in the attorneys general case.
Reid, who hasn't been charged, fired back at Rawlings in a statement from his spokeswoman Kristen Orthman. She said Rawlings is using "Sen. Reid's name to generate attention to himself and advance his political career...
Reid has denied wrongdoing since a businessman said in 2013 that a former Utah attorney general arranged a deal to pay the senator to get rid of a federal investigation into a software business.

Dingy Harry Reid tries to whip up impeachment fear...

You can smell the fear...

Via Washington Times:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid warned in a fundraising pitch Wednesday that Republicans could try to impeach and remove President Obama from office if the GOP wins control of the Senate in next week’s elections.
“Frankly, a Republican House and Senate could go beyond shutting down the government — they could waste months of our lives on impeachment,” Mr. Reid said in a fundraising email sent by the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, which is an outside group whose goal is to bolster liberal Democrats.
The email appeal asks for support for three Democrats in particular: Sen. Mark Begich in Alaska, Sen. Mark Udall in Colorado, and Rep. Bruce Braley, Democrats’ nominee in Iowa.

Change: Harry Reid's alma matter removes his name from building...

Apparently, it was hurting fundraising... 

Via Daily Caller:
Harry Reid’s alma matter is removing his name from a school building after citizens and alumni lobbied the school president and pledged more than $40,000 to the cause.
Concerned citizens lobbied Southern Utah University president Scott Wyatt months ago for the change, but he has only now decided to remove the name out of respect for the Senate majority leader, Utah’s The Spectrum reports. “I didn’t want to offend him in any way,” he explained.
Cedar City Councilman Paul Cozzens told The Specter he received $40,000 in pledges to remove the Nevada senator’s name in just five days.
“These people in Nevada do not espouse to Reid’s political philosophies,” he said, “and they told me they would not support the university or send any more of their children there … so long as Harry Reid’s name remained.”
The school attached Reid’s name to the Outdoor Center expecting donations from Reid and his friends, The Specter reports, but those donations have not materialized.

Harry Reid has only been to Nevada 11 times in the last three years?

According to Senate disbursement records,  Harry Reid (D-Nev.) almost never goes home. He has visited his home state the least of any senator in the last three years. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), and Sen. Tim Johnson (D-S.D.) rount out the top three who are too busy to visit with the little people.
Harry Reid, phone home.
The Democratic senator almost never visits his home state of Nevada, according to a new analysis.
Reid has visited Nevada only 11 times in the last three years, the Washington Examiner reported Wednesday after conducting a review of senators’ home state trips based on Senate disbursement records.
A Reid representative did not immediately respond to a request from The News seeing comment, but the senator’s office did refute the report to the Examiner, claiming the Nevadan has gone home “over 100%” more than the numbers cited in the review.

We can all rest easy: Harry Reid declares the border is secure...

When the northern bank of the Rio Grande is littered with rafts and we can't stop toddlers from entering the country, the border is not secure. Harry Reid also claims we wouldn't have this problem if we had passed comprehensive immigration reform. It's unclear to me how legalizing tens of millions who came here illegally would discourage more from coming.

Key remarks come at 40 second mark...

Senility: Harry Reid gets upset over Hobby Lobby decision, forgets Clarence Thomas is black...

After you play the race card so many times, it becomes automatic...

Via The Note:
Senate Democrats said they plan to unveil legislation in the coming weeks in response to the Supreme Court’s controversial ruling in the Hobby Lobby contraception case.
“This Hobby Lobby decision is outrageous, and we’re going to do something about it,” Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters on Capitol Hill today. “People are going to have to walk down here and vote, and if they vote with the five men on the Supreme Court, I think it’s — they’re going to have — be treated unfavorably come November with the elections.”
Reid said the Senate needed to do something to “ensure that women’s lives are not determined by virtue of five white men.”
