Harry Reid runs into veterans' buzzsaw

Gateway Pundit:

Harry Reid Gets Lambasted By Veterans...
In a question and answer session at the Veterans Administration Medical Center in Reno, Nev., on Thursday, April 5, 2007, Harry Reid gets clobbered by a room full of veterans for not supporting the troops.

The veterans condemned Reid and fellow democrats "for using the troops as a political football"...

...

Harry Reid replies to the accusations telling the veterans (quote):

"There's never been any suggestion that the military will not get everything they need."
But, on Monday... via the website of democratic senator Russ Feingold:

U.S. Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) announced that they are introducing legislation that will effectively end the current military mission in Iraq... The bill ends funding for the war.
The mainstream media did not have much to report on this confrontation today. It was just your average press conference...

...
Gateway has the video link on the confrontation. This is just more of the politics of fraud from the man who said after the election that the Democrats were not going to cut off funds for the troops. Tonto would suggest that he speaks with a forked tung. Democrats would say he lied if he were a Republican. Because he is using fraud to further their objectives, the Democrats will instead embrace him. The veterans know he is not being honest with them and soon many more will know.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

29 % of companies say they are unlikely to keep insurance after Obamacare

Conn Carroll: A new survey of 368 midsize to large companies found that 29% of them are considering terminating their active employee health care plans when Obamacare is full implemented in 2014. Only 71% of employers surveyed said they did not expect to drop their health coverage, while 20% said they did not know and 9% said they were planning to exit. The latest survey, conducted by Towers Watson, echoes an ealier survey by McKinsey & Co. finding that 30% of private-sector employers were planning to drop their employee health insurance coverage by 2014. When the Congressional Budget Office crunched Obamacare's spending numbers, they estimated that only 7% of employees currently covered by employer-sponsored plans would lose their plans. ... This means the cost of the health care fiasco will be hundreds of billions more than estimated by the CBO and Congressional Democrat. It is also clear that Obama's pledge that you could keep your health care plan if you wanted t

Bin Laden's concern about Zarqawi's remains

James Robbins: ... Bin Laden suggests that President Bush should allow Zarqawi’s body to be returned to his family in Jordan, but this is a matter that is up to the Jordanian government, which so far has not shown much interest in facilitating a homecoming. Bin Laden mocks King Abdullah II, calling him a Coalition minion, and asking “w hat scares you about Abu Musab after he’s dead? You know that his funeral, if allowed to happen, would be a huge funeral showing the extent of sympathy with the mujahedin.” A large crowd would definitely turn out, though most people would be on hand to demonstrate their anger and disgust. Last November’s hotel bombings in Amman , masterminded by Zarqawi, are still fresh in people’s memory, and mentioning them to Jordanians has the same visceral impact as memory of the 9/11 attacks does here. Jordan has adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards those who choose to mourn the country’s least favorite son, and four opposition members of parliament who paid con
