Reid told The Huffington Post that Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) is smart, but he can’t
outmaneuver the 26-year veteran in the halls of Congress.
“He might be able to work a calculus problem better than I can,” Reid said Thursday. “But he can’t legislate better than I can.” ~The Hill – 10/18/13
Someone should tell Harry Reid that what he does, many of us do not call “legislating”. There are many names for it, but that is not one of them.
Reid said Cruz is a “laughing stock to everybody but him” and said he pitied the GOP if the party saw him as a viable nominee for president in 2016. ~The Hill – 10/18/13
No, Harry Reid, Senator Cruz is not the laughing stock to everyone but him. As a matter of fact, for you to say that, is to say the American People he stood up for are a laughing stock. How dare you!
Harry Reid, you have shown yourself. Your arrogance will be your downfall. Your Rooster walk will trip you up. No one is fooled by you, except the uninformed and zombie troops. But never fear, many are waking from their blind coma, as the results of your “legislating” hits their lives and pocketbooks.
Laugh and mock this moment away, Harry Reid, because it won’t be long until the elections and that smirk on your face will turn to a blush of embarrassment. Then you will know that many, many people aren’t happy with you, Harry Reid. Not happy at all. They’ll be telling you what they think of your “legislating” and you’ll know it isn’t Senator Ted Cruz they are laughing at. You’ll know that for sure!

Sir Winston Churchill, got the last laugh: The Harry Reids and their band of haters called him the laughing stock in the 1930’s until is was way too late . History appears to be repeating itself . Mindful : 90% of the Germans Cheered “Adolph” until it was way too late .

This is not the end of the story. In 1993 President Clinton signed the UN Conventional on Biological Diversity. Article 8 (h) the alien species provision that orders cooperating parties to prevent, control, and eradicate alien species happens to include our NATIVE wild horses and burros. This was not an accident a Harvard credentialed scientist that earned his PhD in science the same year Al Gore earned his A.B. degree in government, is responsible for creating the myth of the non-native, invasive, alien horse—in order to get the horses removed from their Congressionally protected herd management areas. This malevolent Judas wrote prolifically about alien, invasive species—which the horse is not in the case of North America, but he realized that the only hope he had of getting Americans to give up their horses was to convince America that the same animals Congress called living monuments to the history of the West and the pioneer spirit were an imminent threat to life on Earth because they (he claimed) did not originate here and threatened plants and animals that did. It is hard to keep a straight face when you read some of the claims that have grown out of his claims, but he takes himself very seriously.
In fact, Vice President Al Gore takes him so seriously, he created a special position for him and has funded him since 1997. Dr. X worked with members of the IUCN and the Nature Conservancy to get horses covered under 8 (h)–that horses were the target of this act is part of the public record in the 397 page OTA Report on Harmful Non-Indigenous Species to the United States published September 30, 1993, by the Government Printing Office. This was four months after President Clinton signed the Convention, and a month before he sent the Convention to the Senate where it was debated for nearly a year. When the Senate was ready to vote on it, the American Sheep Institute showed up and persuaded Senate Speaker George Mitchell not to take a vote on it. So the treaty has never been voted up or down.
Since an unratified CBD Article 8 (h) would only apply to herds not protected under the 1971 Wild Horse and Burro Act, the Clinton-Gore administration turned to their favorite IUCN member expert scientist and his friends. They met in Rome in 1996 to Update the 1972 International Plant Protection Convention in 1997. The Senate ratified this treaty which was supposed to protect plants from invasive plant and animal pest species. This treaty went into force on October 2, 2004. On February 3, 1999, President Clinton created E. O. 13112, the Alien Species Act to create a national policy on Invasive Species. The Act created an intergovernmental panel of cabinet level secretaries known as the National Invasive Species Council. It also created a 30 member citizen stakeholder non-governmental advisory council for the NISC. Vice President Gore’s paid-for-by-the-year scientist was a member of the citizen advisory council. Though the NISC changed when the Bush Clinton transition occurred the AC to the NISC did not. Therefore Dr. X and his fellow IUCN and TNC members did not change, but stayed to make sure that the National Invasive Species Management Plan did what it was intended to do—find a way to get rid of wild horses legally—but the plan is insidious, duplicitous, based on scientific fraud and deceit.
Senator Reid put the Burn’s admendment in motion in November of 2004, so that when the fiscal year in 2005 began it would be legal for horses and burros to be eradicated through horse slaughter. If this were the Godfather, Senator Reid would be the hit man. Heck, he’s probably proud of himself for the suffereing he has caused.
The only thing these people who have decided that two species that have been in North America since the Eocene Epoch need to understand is that within the species is a large template of different traits that when appearing together make up over 200 different breeds. Humans did not put those traits into the horse, God did. God put them there so the horse would be able to survive the different changes in climate that occur over time. The horse has managed to conquer every predator with the exception of stupid or evil humans. Now they face stupid, evil, and arrogant humans—and so do we.

The Story of Conrad Burns and Wild Horses
Brungardt starts with the story of “Wild Horse Annie” (a horse-saving crusader named Velma Johnson) and the landmark 1971 federal legislation that he says “banned the inhumane treatment of wild horses and put safeguards into place so they couldn’t be sold for slaughter.” Then Brungardt reports, the law was “gutted” in December 2004 when Sen. Conrad Burns (R-Mont.) inserted a “one-page rider into a 3,300 page budget-appropriations bill on the eve of the bill’s congressional deadline.” The rider removed federal protection for wild horses. When some of Sen. Burns’s colleagues found out about the rider, Brungardt reports, they were “outraged.” Didn’t matter. President Bush, Brungardt reports, signed off on the rider while the Administration altered Bureau of Land Management rules to undercut even further wild-horse protection.
NOW…..THE REST OF THE STORY
“BURNS: Well, [Sen.] Harry Reid came to me and said, ‘I’ve got a problem in Nevada.’ And I said I said ‘What kind of a problem do you have?’ because we don’t have a problem up in Montana”

An Interview with Former Sen. Conrad Burns
by Steven Long, HORSEBACK MAGAZINEHorseback (reprinted with permission)
In the world of equine welfare there may be no person subject to derision than former Montana Sen. Conrad Burns. An ardent supporter of horses as a commodity to be sold for whatever reason their owner deems profitable, the former auctioneer lost his seat in the U.S. Senate to a farmer, Jon Tester, after passage of the BURNS AMENDMENT. THE LAW WAS PASSED IN THE DEAD OF THE NIGHT after it was attached to an appropriations bill nobody had read. For the first time, in an exclusive interview with HORSEBACK MAGAZINE, Burns how revocation of the law came about.
BURNS: Well, [Sen.] Harry Reid came to me and said, ‘I’ve got a problem in Nevada.’ And I said I said ‘What kind of a problem do you have?’ because we don’t have a problem up in Montana.
HORSEBACK: So what happened then?
BURNS: So he and I, up in his office, got together and we crafted that amendment because they’ve really got that problem of over grazing down there. That’s how that came about.
HORSEBACK: It was actually Reid’s idea, huh?
BURNS: Yeah, well it was his problem. I just helped him solve it, that’s all.
HORSEBACK: Well, you did a pretty good job of it.
