Roll Call reports:
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said Tuesday that he would block efforts to force a vote on a mandatory ban on earmarks through fiscal 2013, saying the Senate simply does not have enough time to consider the measure.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism

Maybe we can find enough time to recount the Nevada election returns.

Reid is the gift that just keeps giving. After the historic losses of the recent elections because his party was tone def to the will of the people, Reid steps in to ignore the people again.
Please keep it up Harry, arrogance what a gift!

Harry will go out laughing. His last term will net him fame and retirement. The people be damned.
Thank you Nevada and RNC.

Every Republican with more than two brain cells to rub together should sign a pledge to cease earmarks themselves, and pray to whatever God they believe in that the Democrats keep right on trying to shovel the pork. The Stupid Party has a bare two years to prove to America that there really is a difference between them and the Dems. They better not blow it.

That's just a distraction from what needs to be done. Earmarks *compared to* is just pocket change.

Harry Reid, now leading "The Party of NO!" That's just really funny. This time he'll get some bi-partisan votes most likely from people named Murkowski, Graham and maybe Collins and Snowe.
