Harry Reid in His Own Words:
“Now, many policies cover Viagra, but not prescription contraceptives, and that’s wrong. This agenda will change that.”—Speech on Democrats’ “American Values Agenda,” July 31, 2006
“We cannot tell those who have come to America escaping torture and abuse, that Judge Gonzalez is ‘one of us’ and then turn a blind eye to the torture policies that he helped shape.”—Press release, Feb. 2, 2005
“Saddam Hussein, in effect, has thumbed his nose at the world community. And I think that the President’s approaching this in the right fashion.”—CNN, Sept. 18, 2002
“The Bush Administration manipulated and cherry-picked intelligence to hype the threat.”—Press release, Nov. 15, 2005
“I think this guy [President Bush] is a loser.”—Speaking at Del Sol High School, Las Vegas, Nev., May 6, 2005
“But maybe most of all, the Bush plan isn’t really Social Security reform. It’s more like Social Security roulette.”—Democratic Response to 2005 State of the Union Address, Feb. 2, 2005
“We care about stem-cell research, which the President vetoed. That could be a No. 1 issue.”—Senate floor, Aug. 1, 2006
“[Republicans] are more than willing to debate pet issues of the far right, such as the definition of marriage, afraid, I guess, of angering their White House or political base by investigating and taking action on global warming.”—Senate floor, July 10, 2006
“They chose millionaires and billionaires over the middle class. For five years, the Republican majority has handed out billions of dollars in tax breaks and perks to the wealthy elite at the expense of everyone else.”—Senate floor, May 11, 2006
“Let’s not sugarcoat the truth. The nomination of Harriet Miers was derailed by the overwhelming opposition of the extreme right wing. They campaigned against her, they ran paid advertising against her, and they finally succeeded in having the President cave in to these radical right wing activists. They succeeded in defeating her nomination even before this fine woman was afforded an opportunity to make her case to the Senate Judiciary Committee.” —Senate floor, Nov. 16, 2005
