GOP senators to chide Reid

[sabra]

Source: WashTimes

Senate Republicans are preparing to take aim at Majority Leader Harry Reid over the August recess for being "all talk but no action" and helping drag the Democrat-led Congress' approval rating to a historic low, according to a document distributed to caucus members.

Sen. Jon Kyl of Arizona, chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, is meeting with members yesterday and today to disseminate a message critical of Democrats for endlessly debating the Iraq war, stalling judicial nominations and squandering time on at least 300 investigations of the Bush administration.

"We really ought to be asking why this Democrat leadership won't allow Congress to move forward on serious policy debates," Mr. Kyl said, when asked about the talking-points memorandum he is circulating.

"Americans have been disappointed by a majority leadership that stages one show debate after another, while the only consistent legislative work getting done is the renaming of post offices."

2. Republicans accuse others of what they themselves are doing

"We really ought to be asking why this Democrat leadership won't allow Congress to move forward on serious policy debates," Mr. Kyl said, when asked about the talking-points memorandum he is circulating.

3. "Endlessly debating the war"--wow, don't the Democrats know that

they should JUST STFU about it? WHY are we even still talking about it? The King has made his decree, it is not open to debate.

4. The people in this country are a bunch of wussies

We should have a form letter that is available to all. Emails don't do it and you can't get thru on the phones. These letter should be sent to the republican senators and representatives over and over. To the newspapers, some of them might get published. Tell the American people what obstructers of justice and shredders of the Constitution bush and the republicans are. Tell them over and over. Let them know that MOST of America wants them out of office.

5. Pardon my french, but

if only we had a few more Democrats with some fuckin' balls to tell these fuckwads what the fuck they need to be told on FAUX News, CNN et/ al, maybe, just fuckin' maybe the public will put these assholes back under the rocks where they belong!!! just a thought.

7. And Reid will have easy responses

Repugs are polling 10 points less than Democrats in Congress. They are the ones dragging down Congress' approval rating.

Repugs are on track to break the record on the number of fillibusters during a single session of Congress.



And at this point the Repugs are only reaching their hardcore supporters. Everyone else has abandoned them.
