REID: "If Bush & Friends Refuse To Budge-WE Will Show Them The Way"
Note how Reid "reminded" the Republicans that nothing in the DoD bill he just set aside takes effect until October anyway as a preemptive strike against their predictable cries of Democrats depriving the troops and not supporting them.

"We have spent 2 days showing America that we will not back down," said Reid. "That we will keep fighting. That if President Bush and his allies in Congress refuse to budge, we will continue to show them the way."

1. And, hopefully, the American people will show them the door.

2. His rhetoric is nearly brilliant--playing the offense and giving them no
way to defend what they are doing.

Reid's a masterful politician--in the BEST sense of the word.

4. This is exactly what the public wants
push those bills, over and over and over. Make the republicans filibuster each and every one. And because the MSM won't post anything about the republicans obstructing this congress from helping the troops and the American people. Force them to. Volunteer for interviews, turn the table and talk only about obstructions. Yell the fact far and wide that they are not supporting the troops, no rest between deployments, no troop pull out, no pay raises, upping the cost of their prescriptions and no fair health care. If each and every democrat went before the American people and pushed this over and over it would soon come out.
