1. Dems appear to have the whole gang up on stage for this thing. It'd be pretty amazing to hear them

stand together against these SOB pugs and not waver, blink, or compromise an inch more than they have.

2. Dems press conference..DAMN! Looks like everyone wants camera time! n/t

[jillan]

3. Here we go - this is going to be good.

[in_cog_ni_to]

4. :Federal emplyees are on pins and needles now."

[Parker CA]

5. "...or they can shut down the gvmnt over women's healthcare. If that sounds ridiculous, it's because

IT IS ridiculous." - Reid, just now.

"If we shut down gvmnt over cancer screenings, people will really hurt."

Laying everything out, but he still sounds too sleepy, as he always does. We need a stronger voice out there right now.

[louis-t]

11. Agreed, Reid is too soft-spoken.

[Tatiana]

6. I like what I am hearing from Harry Reid so far.

I like that it appears all the Senate Dems are standing UNITED behind Majority Leader Reid.

I like that Reid is framing the issue the way it needs to be framed. He's not dancing around the issue. He's straight up calling the Republicans out on their bull$hit.

Screw the Republicans. Let them shut the government down.

NO COMPROMISE with these terrorist hostage-takers.

7. "It's against the law for monies to be spent on abortion and Boner (my word :)) knows that."

[JuniperLea]

13. This is key!

It has been against the law for tax monies to be used for abortions since abortions were made legal! This was one of the sticking points way back then, and it has never been changed. This is a flagrant and despicable LIE that is told over and over again to get people riled up!

I am so very, very happy to hear that the truth is being told, and the liar being scolded!

[in_cog_ni_to]

17. THAT is exactly what they need to continue doing! Hit the airwaves with the TRUTHH

of what these thugs are doing!

[Bluerthanblue]

18. and in a strange way, they are giving us a "microphone" to point

out this truth.

I only hope that people will LISTEN.-

:hi:

[gratuitous]

8. Sound bite, offered free of charge

"We are not going to balance the budget on the backs of the poorest Americans. It's time and past time for the wealthiest citizens and corporations to help pull the wagon instead of kvetching from their cushioned seats."

Alternatively: "The health of American women is not a bargaining chip for temporary political gain. We stand today in favor of full access to health care for women, and we will not sacrifice women's lives while the likes of General Electric pay nothing to support the federal budget."

9. repigs are out of control, John Boehner has no voice

and the tea partiers are running all over him, what crap, this is all about screwing Obama, the repigs are screwing themselves do not vote for these SOB's.:mad:

[Parker CA]

10. Murray up now. "It's about an extreme ideologically stronghold on the other side..."

"...not on our watch."

"But no one in this country should be given the horrendous choice of hearing, 'you won't have a job on Monday unless you give away women's rights.' We stand together as a caucus on this and won't waver."

[in_cog_ni_to]

12. LOL! "Joe Biden wasn't flustered, but he was DAMN mad." I didn't hear the question though. n/t

[Parker CA]

14. Reid just said, we agreed on the number, it's 78. WTF!? When did it go from 38 to 78??

[Parker CA]

15. Oh man, this looks like a fu@kshow. Schumer is standing there whispering facts and numbers into

Reid's ear. We need a strong and direct voice on this. It's nice to hear that they are holding strong, but we need a much stronger voice throwing this info out there.

Summer 2011...Messaging Bootcamp for all Dems!

[bdamomma]

16. don't you all wish Obama can tell these stupid repigs

to F off?
