3. Now, now - we all know how bad the oil companies are hurting right now
If we tax their windfall profits, they'll raise the price of gas even higher...
Throw the sons of bitches in jail!

If I were Reid, I'd make them filibuster all night over this to show the American people who the GOP really cares about.

6. the whole point of was to get the republicans to block it

It's politics. The Dems don't want to actually DO anything positive right now, they just want to paint the republicans as do nothing obstructionists, make sure everybody in the country KNOWS who's screwing things up.

It's politics. If they do it right, it'll help Obama get elected and increase our majorities in both chambers.
