Reid in da House

[Atman]

on teevee now, 9:37 a, talking about Bush's bullshit plan. But, Harry, Harry, Harry...STOP calling it a "surge." It is a wholesale ESCALATION, 100% against the spoken will of the American people.

That it is wrong and will not work....

4. So when is that hardcore nonbinding resolution coming down the pike?

Give 'em non-binding heck Harry!

[Atman]

2. Whoops, that was short...

As soon as he started talking about how bad Bush's plan was, CNN cut away and said "there you have it!" No one else is carrying it.

8. Senator Grassly is ranting and I have no idea what he is trying to say

[dogday]

9. Repeating the same old talking points

that he has been saying since day one....

3. Agreed- Escalation is the word

They need to get this out there: change the wording! Surge is a focus group word that has positive connotations. It evokes triumph and victory when used, so they certainly did their homework on the verbiage.

It's an escalation for sure - Vietnamesque. If the Democrats are serious about standing up to this madman, they need to take charge of the debate and frame it for what it is.

6. Senator Grassley of Iowa
