Hartmann is torching Reid
:thumbsup:

Railing on him for not passing the bill despite having 58/99 senate votes, and bowing to snarlin' arlen.

:thumbsup:

"imagine if Trent lott or Bill Frist was SML and had 58 votes. Would they give in?"

:thumbsup:

5. You know what needs to happen.
We seriously need to have all DU'ers and I mean all of us. More than we have ever done in the past and this time as organized as we can possibly do it.

Call Harry Reid office every day till he gets it through his head. Just call up his office and say simply "Tell Harry to grow a pair and force them to filibuster".

I know we do this on DU from time to time but maybe what we need is better organization. We need to create a core group of people, call us the Call Gang or something. If you join this group you are to call whoever is on our agenda and call often.

If we have a core group of hundreds we can really make our points heard.

If his secretary is getting hundreds of calls about Harry's balls (LOL) I'm sure he will get the message and probably even the media.

8. no, we need to get through to those who stand by and let him continue to lead
reid is too old and entrenched in DC to ever see anything outside of the halls of Congress. He lives in a vaccuum with the other congrescritters. We need to throw support behind challengers to the offices of people like reid.

If someone were to announce his candidacy for reid's spot, we should flood them with cash. Money talks and maybe they'd see that we were serious and then take reid asides and spank him good.

3. Reid is the most ineffective "leader" I've ever seen.
I left him a polite voicemail letting him know I was disappointed with the cuts in the Senate and how I am hoping they'll be put back in. Oh, and, "Let the Republicans filibuster!"

4. Reid is not a Dem of the People. He's a Dem of the Unnatural Personhoods. nt

9. He's now talking to Peter DeFazio
Pete says that if Harry caves on this one, the Dems will be neutered for the entire two years.

I agree.
