Reid chastises people for disliking DINOs

by Karen on March 27, 2009

Harry Reid has decided to address the outrage some of us have expressed over Democratic senators organizing against the party.  And being the rotten fucking coward that he is, this is what he said (via: Think Progress):

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.”

Got that? Democratic groups who want democratic politicians to cease trying to block democratic policies are “very unwise” and “not helpful”.

This is why I do not support the party as a whole and will vote against a Democrat if need be. The Democrats suck at actually being Democrats.
