More quotes by Harry Reid
I deeply regret using such a poor choice of words.
Harry Reid
Legislation is the art of compromise.
Harry Reid
Enforcement alone does not work. Unless we address the gap between our immigration laws and reality, illegal immigration will not stop and the situation on the border will continue to be chaotic.
Harry Reid
We in the Senate refer to Sen. Gillibrand as the hottest member.
Harry Reid
I mean, that is a mop of real hair. He has hair like a 15-year-old ... and so, I have to acknowledge I am a little envious of his hair.
Harry Reid
I am convinced that I do not want to give up more power to the White House, whether it's George Bush or Barack Obama. And I'm going to fight as hard as I can against President Obama on these earmarks and my Republican colleagues who hate to vote for them, but love to get them.
Harry Reid
We found ourselves in a hole that I didn't dig, but I have dug, dug and dug to try to get out of that hole.
Harry Reid
Cut, Cap and Balance is worst legislation in history.
Harry Reid
President Bush is a liar. He betrayed Nevada and he betrayed the country... All Americans should be concerned, not just because he lied to me or the people of Nevada and indeed all Americans, but because the President's decision threatens Americans' lives.
Harry Reid

Harry Reid
Some said he shouldn't save Detroit. But President Obama made the tough and right call to save more than a million American jobs in an important, iconic industry.
Harry Reid
The president is now having to deal with a Congress. He's never had to do that before. The president in the past, he has just done whatever he wanted. He had a big rubberstamp here up on Capitol Hill, whatever he wanted, they stamped OK. That's not the way it is now.
Harry Reid
The Iraq war can only be won diplomatically, politically and economically, and the president needs to come to that realization.
Harry Reid
I think it would be interesting to know about the Federal Reserve. I think we should audit the Federal Reserve - it's taxpayer's money that's being used there.
Harry Reid
If you have a problem where you have just poverty, long-term insurance benefits for an emergency aren't going to solve that either. You have got to fix the social safety net.
Harry Reid
I believe myself that the secretary of state, secretary of defense and - you have to make your own decisions as to what the president knows - (know) this war is lost and the surge is not accomplishing anything as indicated by the extreme violence in Iraq yesterday.
Harry Reid
For senators to complain that they didn't know this was happening, we had many, many meetings that have been both classified and unclassified that members have been invited to.
Harry Reid
How are my ribs? They're so meaningless it's hard to believe.
Harry Reid
We all know if we change the bill, it's gone.
Harry Reid
Republicans cannot be trusted to end the culture of corruption.
