text: I suggested you research it but clearly I wasted my breath.  I even provided a link that explains how it was brought up numerous times before Reid ever got to the Senate in '87.  How is it possible for Reid to "resurrect it" if it was used regularly before he came along?  If you weren't such a partisan hack you would have avoided looking like a willful idiot.  All it would have taken is maybe a minute to read through the facts you were just provided but that would require you to exercise even the smallest mote of skepticism in your own self-righteousness.
