1. and......

3. Nothing breaking, just saying the Republicans are being assholes.

Durbin is up now, urging the Republicans to step up and put this country first (yeah, that's gonna happen).

Schumer up now. Need to move on to other plans. Even if the Speaker gets the votes, bill is non-starter, Prez won't sign. Wasting valuable time.

Murray (one of mine) will be up next. I'm intereted to see hear what she has to say since I've not heard a peep from her or from Cantwell.

They're cutting away now on MSNBC :grr:

[gateley]

4. See above, not any real details. Just presenting "our side" -

I just switched to C-Span, still Schumer just saying why our plan (Reid's) is better.

6. Murray saying she, like others, has been deluged by concerned

constituents.

Boehner has "burnished his conservative credentials" time and time again, but it's time for them to put the country first.

She relayed a story that she went to a senior center this weekend to visit a relative, and she couldn't get through the lobby because everyone was on her, so concerned and afraid of what might happen.

She also visited a veteran center - same thing.

7. Hope they stay out there and somewhat put forward the truth.

A talking duel of this sort will leave the superf*ckers red faced and making up lies on the spot.

Still not sure how well the Dems are representing our side but the Puke argument is indefensible.
