Harry Reid Urges John Boehner to Commit Political Suicide

I'm sure Reid has Boehner's best interests at heart:

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) on Monday urged Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to ditch members of the Tea Party and cut a deal with Democrats to avert a government shutdown.

Reid insisted it is those GOP internal divisions that are threatening to shut down the government after April 8, in less than two weeks.

“For the sake of our economy, it’s time for mainstream Republicans to stand up to the Tea Party and rejoin Democrats at the table to negotiate a responsible solution that cuts spending while protecting jobs,” he said.

So, Mr. Speaker, who is more likely to have your back when things get tough, Reid or the Tea Party?

Screw Harry Reid - shut it down.
