Reid Spokesman Chides GOP Over Lame Duck Strategy

Republican attempts to “run out the clock” during the current lame-duck session of Congress failed miserably, said a spokesman for Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Wednesday.

“Any time Congress is able to boost middle class families and protect our national security like we did this session, we Democrats call it a success. But Republicans’ idea of success would have been to shut down the government altogether, denying Social Security checks to seniors, benefits to veterans and funding to border security,” said Rodell Mollineau.

“Republicans are previewing an arrogant, reckless agenda for 2011 that is more focused on playing political games than common-sense problem solving,” the spokesman added.
