Reid: Not a single Democratic Senator will support Boehner plan

[WI_DEM]

In a brief press conference just now, Harry Reid made it absolutely clear that John Boehner's debt ceiling plan will be dead on arrival if it ever makes its way to the Senate from the House. Standing alongside Chuck Schumer and Patty Murray, Reid said not a single Democratic Senator would support Boehner's plan, which may be getting new life now that he's revising his plan to include deeper cuts.
Each senator made the case that the only way to avoid default and emerge unscathed from the debt ceiling mess would be for House leadership to allow the Senate debt ceiling plan to move forward. While tea party Republicans would clearly oppose that plan, enough House Democrats would support it to give Boehner a majority for raising the debt limit.

1. It's about time they stood up and stood together.

Republicans are good at that tactic and the Democrats need to do it more often.

Now THAT is what I call leadership. The Republicans MUSt own this debt problem. They caused it...they broke it...they own it.
