Harry Reid: “I would finally say this: I hope we will have a new dawn arising soon where we will see my Republican friends break away…”

I would finally say this: I hope we will have a new dawn arising soon where we will see my Republican friends break away from this lockstep they have been in. I can't imagine they believe they are doing the right thing by voting against asking the richest of the rich--.02 percent of the richest people in America--to contribute a small amount toward creating jobs in America. That is what this is all about. I would hope someday we will see a few Republicans break from the pack and vote to create jobs rather than trying to defeat President Obama come next November. ____________________

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.
