Harry Reid is on television right now. He says we need to get Presidential politics out of the negotiations because it is not helpful.
Then he goes on to say we must do what Senator Obama says. Senator Obama’s principles must be in the plan.
Then he starts bashing John McCain for grand standing and getting in front of the camera and causing disruptions.

What a doofus. I hope other folks watching see through his posturing.

bk (Diary) Friday, September 26th at 10:04AM EST (link)What a piece of crap that guy is. Here was the order he said it:
- Everyone but the House GOP is following “The Obama Principles”.
- Injecting presidential politics has NOT been helpful repeat NOT been helpful.
- They’ve tried to get McCain to take a stand but all he’s done is stand in front of cameras.
He also curiously said they are working to get the president’s plan changed. Gee, I thought they were just blasting the House GOP for not taking the president’s plan. But wait, is it the president’s plan or Obama’s plan?
Then Dodd follows up by saying they’re working with “serious” Republicans. So the House GOP guys think this is all a big joke apparently.

I sure hope the American people see through this crap and see Reid and Dodd as the hypocritical socialist tools they are.

Why, oh why, aren’t the House GOP calling a press conference to call the mf out?
How long are they going to sit back and take this?
And how long is the RNC going to wait to roll the ads showing the American people just who really is to blaim for this nonsense?
For God’s sake, do they want to win this election?
And lastly, I don’t care how you do it, butplease get in touch with the McCain camp and tell them to get McCain’s ass to Oxford. NO WAY shoudl he let Obama preen in front of the camera for 90 minutes unchallenged.

"No authority to negotiate"
Achance (Diary) Friday, September 26th at 10:25AM EST (link)Wish I had a nickle for every time I’d heard that. Any time you have contentious negotiations with a union, they go out and issue a press release saying they’re confident that there would be an agreement if the employer would just send someone in with the authority to negotiate. What is really means is that they want somebody to come in and agree with them and who has the authority to capitulate to the union.
So, somebody isn’t being rolled over by the Ds and they’re unhappy. Too bad. They have the votes to pass whatever they want – just as long as they want to own it.

McCain is in danger of getting rolled on this one
Shaggy_Dog (Diary) Friday, September 26th at 10:59AM EST (link)Headline just up on CNBC:
So the angle here it to have the Dem majority go ahead and pass a bailout without Republican support and then say the McCain’s leadership contributed nothing to get it done and that McCain and the House R’s in fact nearly derailed it.
The MSM will gladly run with the D’s spin so McCain better be real careful with the situation.

As to Gov. Palin, I sat out the Republican Gubernatorial primary, wrote a dutiful Republican check to my Party’s nominee, and put up my dutiful yard sign. I have dutifully refrained from attacking her directly on behalf of my clients or personally, though I’ve not been gentle with some of her subordinates.
