Tool Award

This Tool Award Winner is worthy of the prize for a number of reasons. You could consider his idiotic, rambling, and pointless so-called-repsonse to the SOTU. You could consider that in a mere few months he's moved from moderate (including pro-life views) Democrat to mouth piece of the most idiotic ideas that the left can offer. You could consider that he's virtually indistinguishable from Howard Dean, except for the scream. Indeed, you could point out many reasons today's Tool is worthy of the title.



Young Pundit has the goods, however, on what really pushes this otherwise mediocre candidate into Tooldom. Harry Reid (Moonbat, NV) and his now hysterical rants against Social Security privitization simply boggle the mind. Consider this:

Reid Supported Strengthening Social Security In 1990s, Opposes Now:



In 1999, Reid Declared: [M]ost Of Us Have No Problem With Taking A Small Amount Of The Social Security Proceeds And Putting It Into The Private Sector. (Fox's Fox News Sunday, 2/14/99)



In 1999, Reid Said: I Think We Have To Take Care Of Social Security. (Fox's Fox News Sunday, 7/11/99)



In 1999, Reid Said: [W]e're Visiting Chile Because It Is Doing Interesting Things In Social Security And Other Parts Of Its Free Market System (Tony Batt, Reid To Embark On South America Trip, Las Vegas Review-Journal, 3/30/99)

This should hardly be shocking, it's nothing new. Just as most Democrats backed the bombing of Iraq in '98 and argued that Saddam had to go, only to change their mind when a conservative decided they were right, so now must the liberals backpedal from Clinton's own advice because a conservative has decided to pick up the issue.



How can you possibly hope to reason with people who think in such circular ways? IF someone will cut off their nose to spite their face, then there is no hope of having a constructive relationship with them. What happened to the Democratic party? Can it possibly fix itself with Dean at the head? I'd say it's highly unlikely.



So, Harry, for becoming and overnight Yes-man, for playing partisan political hackery with an important issue that you once supported, and mostly for selling out for a shot at the big time at the head of the liberal Kool-Aid party, you are truly a Tool!
