How freaking bad is it when Candy Crowley is as good as it gets when going after Rep. Lies!

...Democrats should be all over this kind of shit....I posted yesterday that we need Senate and House Dems to set up some sort of Occupy the Truth war room which immediately responds to republican lies.. Open 24/7 with Coffee, doughnuts, hopefully if enough of a stink is made maybe the MSM will
notice..

Here is my original thread:



Are Democrats fearful of Republican bullies?/

For 4 1/2 years Republicans have pushed the democrats around knowing that the Dems. have little appetite for fighting back. The lies and misrepresentations over the so called 3 scandals which the republicans have pushed for the last week have for the most part been exposed for what they are...
Made up stories to distract the American people from the real issues of unemployment and the overall evaporation of the middle class.

Why aren’t dems setting up war rooms in the House and Senate... inviting reporters in on a round the clock basis..to fully discuss each lying scandal on an hourly basis... I mean there should be a pot of coffee brewing and doughnuts for everyone in this round the clock operation...New news would be brought in whenever another lie is uncovered and reporters would have full access to this info as soon as it arrives. There would be chalkboards,updated info sheets and links to other war rooms around the country... This would be one example how the weak dems. could actually throw a punch or two.. in order to show that we are not going to cower any more... A War Room for Christ Sakes..

Take the shit to them instead of letting them control the storyline...

Could we start a petition to investigate republican leadership in congress?

The wrong people are being investigated. I think most Americans who pay attention are furious with the obstruction, lack of serious work, and now the altering of emails in an investigation.

I honestly don't know what the answer is but it's pretty clear who needs investigating.

this crap, but I'll be damned if i can think of who they are.
If someone can, I would be interested in their names. Only "known" names will get coverage, so that limits it. Unless, unless, unless, some dem would like to make a name for him/her self......
I'll keep hoping and watching this post for names and suggestions.
Thanks for the post.
