Reid Backs Down on Public Option While Pelosi Caves to Making Grayson Apologize
Edited on Thu Oct-01-09 06:27 PM by berni_mccoy
Oh, wait, that's not happening because someone screwed their courage to the sticking post. In fact, the opposite has happened and they've gotten spines where Reid is saying there WILL be a Public Option and Pelosi is saying NO Apology form Grayson.

Wow.

I wonder if Grayson's speech had something to do with the new found backbone in the party? I believe my headline would have been believable even just a month ago. Now, instead, something seems to have lit a fire in the Democrats. I like it at any rate.

6. I think all of this is happening with almost perfect timing.
The PO looks like it will pass to me.

12. Geez, don't do that.

My head almost exploded.

EDIT: Maybe they're just sick of it? Everyone's got a breaking point, and maybe the Congressional Dems just reached theirs with Republican antics.

13. Yeah and my hubby
who is still pissed at Obama over FISA, and hasn't given him any money since last year-gave Grayson $50. And he's never been to Florida. I wonder how much dough he has raked in.

14. Berni_decoy! We've always conceded that the republicons always been better tacticians
This week it has been proven wrong. We gave them a taste of their own medicine and they fell for it hook, line and pole and it took them off their game. The result is that Joe Wilson is neutralized by one of ours, and we've regained control of the message.

15. I wonder if its all part of the strategy
Let the republicans dig themselves a deep enough hole, and when they're finally so deep they can't possibly dig their way back out, start throwing the dirt in on top of them.
