Harry made his money by leveraging government. Mitt made his in the private sector. Harry is envious that he was utterly incapable of doing that.
Rusty, EXACTLY!!
Harry Reid has been discredited so many times he is just an eyesore.
I am curious how this advances the people's business.
Ok. Thats not answering the question why?
"deeply loathing" is a pretty strong opinion based on religious devotion. The last thing I heard from Harry was that he said Romney didn't pay taxes. Where did that go?
The problem with Harry, like many politicians today is they are in there like kings. There should be mandatory term limits.
What I loathe is the presumption that what Reid said about Romneys taxes has not been brought up again. Here's a high lebel Democrat, making absurd allegations and isn't called to the task of proof. Now thats something to be upset about.
How could anyone hate someone who lies like Romney does? Reid is right, Mitt is a liar.

Old PINKY Reid is the greatest embarrassment to the people of the state of Nevada!
Mormon on Mormon fight, i enjoy watching Reid calling Romney out and Romney is to gutless to stand up.
:-)
Senator Reid ~ You have my support. I believe you and I believe in you.
I can understand "deeply loathing" if you are a man of faith and another man of the same faith appears to have created a perception of telling falsehoods and not being completely straightforward, while maintaining a commitment to the church. It is an oxymoron.
Let us not forget that Willard has a $100M IRA, which is not taxable until age 70 1/2 years old. Let us also remember investments in the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and a Swiss Bank Account.
I do not think the Sun should use the word "hate" in the heading. I could see dislikes, or disagrees. Hate is a very strong word. I may not agree with Harry Reid and am against some of his policies. I do not "hate" him.
Harry lied about Mitt Romney's tax status. If Romney is also a liar, then under a best case scenario, we have a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Harry certainly has not staked out any moral high ground from which to operate his smear campaign against Romney.
What is more likely is that Harry, in criticizing Romney's Mormonism, was the useful idiot that the Obama campaign needed. After all, if anyone other than another Mormon criticized Romney's devoutness, they might come across as a religious bigot. One Mormon criticizing another is more acceptable. Thus, the Obama campaign used Harry to take the low road, with which Reid is all too familiar, to criticize Romney's Mormonism.
Unfortunately for Obama and Reid, the criticism didn't resonate. The distraction campaign (e.g., Bain, "Romney killed my wife", "Romney didn't pay taxes", Big Bird) has worn thin, and people keep coming back to the primary issue: the economy. More Americans trust a capitalist like Romney to guide economic policy than the inept progressive socialist, Barack Obama. The results of that belief will bear out in four weeks, and America will be able to put this embarrassment of an administration behind it.
Harry Reid, Pelosi, Obama, Berkley and all the other liars are the reason I will not vote for a democrat. Soon I am going to switch parties. The campaigns these animals run are tasteless, vindictive and just plain crap.
Reid is a hypocrit who sullied his religion! Just look at how he votes.
How does it feel harry!
Bishop Romney's first impulse is to outright lie, not make a simple political fib, but boldface lie. Maybe that's what irritates Reid so much. Romney seems completely incapable of telling the truth, he really has a mental problem. Even W. had a little twitch when he lied, indicating that his first impulse was to tell the truth. Romney seems more like a psychopath.
"The size of our Navy is at levels not seen since 1916. I will restore our Navy to the size needed to fulfill our missions by building 15 ships per year, including three submarines."
-- Mitt Romney, speech at Virginia Military Institute, Oct. 8, 2012
Romney says he will cut government spending then tells military cadets he will build up the Navy (along with the DoD). Romney is a pathological liar, what one would expect after a lifetime of selling redemption and picking the pockets of poor fools.
A similar question would be why does Harry hate Nevada?
It's okay, alot of here in Nevada loathe Harry Reid and if you want to see a liar:

Harry probably hates Romney because Mitt gives what, 3 or 4 mil of his own money to charity. How much you give Harry? Afraid Mitt's making you look bad? Seems Mitt might be a little bit more devoted to his faith then you are, I am sure he's definitely more charitable.
Coal makes Harry sick, Mitt loves coal.
Chunky says:
Who wouldn't "loath" someone who is going to force you to live within your means when you've been on a "Chinese credit card" spending spree?
Chunky isn't saying Romney has the answers. Reid, in the current position he holds is good for our state but not necessarily for our country.
That's what Chunky thinks!
And Chunky what makes you think Reid is so great for Nevada?
