No matter what side of the AISLE you're on, THIS is FUNNY.

Judy Walkman, a professional genealogy researcher in southern California , was doing some personal work on her own family tree. She discovered that Senator Harry Reid's great-great uncle, Remus Reid, was hanged for horse stealing and train robbery in Montana in 1889. Both Judy and Harry Reid share this common ancestor.
The only known photograph of Remus shows him standing on the gallows in Montana territory.

On the back of the picture Judy obtained during her research is this inscription: 'Remus Reid, horse thief, sent to Montana Territorial Prison 1885, escaped 1887, robbed the Montana Flyer six times. Caught by Pinkerton detectives, convicted and hanged in 1889.'
So Judy recently e-mailed Senator Harry Reid for information about their great-great uncle.

Believe it or not, Harry Reid's staff sent back the following biographical sketch for her genealogy research:

"Remus Reid was a famous cowboy in the Montana Territory . His business empire grew to include acquisition of valuable equestrian assets and intimate dealings with the Montana railroad. Beginning in 1883, he devoted several years of his life to government service, finally taking leave to resume his dealings with the railroad. In 1887, he was a key player in a vital investigation run by the renowned Pinkerton Detective Agency. In 1889, Remus passed away during an important civic function held in his honor when the platform upon which he was standing collapsed."

Now THAT’s how it’s done, Folks!
That’s real Political Spin!!

dljen Loc: Central PA

Harry Reid is going nowhere. Can you count?

BigBear Loc: Northern CT

His own people want to hang him up.

Why, yes, I can. Apparently you haven't been paying attention to the polls. Republican support is growing stronger with each passing day. More and more incumbent Democrats are distancing themselves from Obama. And support amongst the American people for Obamacare is shrinking even faster. Those candidates linked to Obamacare will not need their D.C. residences much longer.

The numbers will indeed shift, come November.

And as long as we're talking numbers, all we need to do is to win six seats to gain control of the Senate. The number of incumbent Democrats in serious danger of losing their seats is more than six.

If the Republicans can't get the senate in Nov., they've got to be in a worse position than I think. If you check history, very often the opposition party wins in the final two years of the president.

After the last 6 years you can't look at history to figure what will happen. Obummer and friends have changed everything.
