Democrats are notorious for flip-flopping on their beliefs and positions. Add Harry Reid to the long list of Democrats who say one thing then flip-flop. Harry wanted a clean up or down vote and now is screaming about the Republicans doing so. Liberal hypocrisy 101.

(CNSNews.com) - As recently as last month, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nev.) was pushing for a clean debt ceiling measure. "You don't have to have a lot of things attached to raising the debt ceiling. You can do that separately," he told reporters at an April 14th press conference.

Now a House GOP plan to hold a vote on a clean extension of the debt ceiling is coming under fire by Reid. It will send "a terrible message to the international community," Reid said Tuesday.

"They are bringing up something that they know is going to fail," Reid told reporters. "I can't think of a way that is much more irresponsible than bringing up a debt limit extension just to show it can't pass," He later added.
