\"dumptheleghound\"Here is the online petition I promised you to replace Reid with a Majority Leader that has a spine. For me, the straws that broke the camel\u2019s back were Harry Reid\u2019s refusal to bring key legislation to the floor and cutting a deal with Republicans to prevent Obama from making recess appointments before the election break.  Far too many times I have groaned, screamed, and cried, because every time Republicans even hinted at opposition, Reid humped a few Republican legs in hopes of getting a vote or too, and when he couldn\u2019t, whined, rolled over and played dead.<\/font><\/p>\n

Harry Reid has been such a weak majority leader that voters have come to think of Democratic as the party of spineless weakness.  We need a majority leader who will fight for progressive values, not cower in fear at the first threat of Republican opposition.  Please join us in petitioning your Democratic Senator(s) to replace Harry Reid with a Senator with the courage to stand fast against Republican assaults on our Constitution, our freedom, and our well being.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I bit my tongue and held off to give one of you the opportunity to be the first to sign it. Franken won the poll here, but has no chance in his first term.  You can suggest a replacement in your comment on the perition itself.<\/font><\/p>\n

Please email this to your friends, and post it on your blogs and wherever you go.<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
