repugs lie about Harry Reid (so, what else is new?)

Republicans plan anti-Reid ads Spots to air on Spanish-language radio stations

The 60-second spot states in Spanish that Reid "blocked our leaders from working together" and blames Democrats for legislation that passed the Republican-controlled House that would make illegal immigrants subject to felony charges.

The Senate has not voted on the issue of penalties. In the House, Republicans drafted legislation to make illegal immigrants subject to felony charges. Democrats say they were denied a chance to eliminate criminal penalties from the bill.

Many Democrats, including members of the Hispanic Congressional Caucus, voted against the amendment because they opposed any criminal penalties. Nevada Republicans Jon Porter and Jim Gibbons also voted against the amendment, which failed. The felony provision remained in the bill, and it passed the House on a largely party line vote.

"No amount of spin by the Republican leadership can alter the fact that the House bill, including the felony provisions, were authored by Republicans and ultimately passed by Republicans," Reid spokesman Jim Manley said.

So, repugs are blaming Dems for the felony provisions that the repugs authored and passed? The Dems attempted to remove ALL criminal charges and by doing that, the repugs are saying that the Dems voted FOR felony charges?!?!
Whew! That is one heck of a spin!!!
Lies are really all the repugs have, aren't they? If they actually told the truth no one at all would voted for them.
What a bunch of twisted f'ks!
