Reid Reaches Out To Liberal Bloggers For Help (Rats losing it)
CBS ^ | 7/25/2008 | politico

(The Politico) On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid criticized the Washington press corps for failing to report what he believes is unprecedented Republican obstruction.

So Friday afternoon, Reid reached out to the liberal blogosphere.

"You need to keep doing the job you're doing, but you need to move on," Reid said in a Webcast hosted by a handful of progressive bloggers. "We need your help to push back against the Republican harangue ... that we're not allowing votes" on oil drilling amendments.

The Webcast was hosted by meetthebloggers and included bloggers from HuffingtonPost, OpenLeft and thesmogblog.com.

Reid seemed flustered Thursday when addressing congressional reporters, saying they needed to do a better job of explaining that Democrats have offered Republicans drilling amendments but the GOP has refused to make a deal.

Harry Reid talking about Republican obstruction is like Robert Mugabe talking about racism in America.

Could this be the begining of their undoing?

Perhaps the tide is finally starting to turn on the looney left and no one in the media wants to see it or predict it.

After all, the mainstream propaganda would have you think the next president is already in office.

Maybe I should have faith in the American people.

Reid can talk about obstruction but it's the Rats that are obstructing expanded offshore drilling.

Dingy Harry feeling the heat! Oil exploration is a winning issue this election. Gas prices are one thing even the dimmest voter can understand. Here’s hoping the Republicans will keep building on this strategy.

Help?
What is wrong with using the record?
You either have allowed votes or you have not. It will be in the offical record?
But no Reid and his ilk think that the American people are too stupid top realize this and think they can buffalo and bullshit they way through as usual.........

Reid never had it.

What will be the cost of the Democrat "No Domestic Energy Policy?"

All of that puts the U.S. in a position that war for oil or
complete economic collapse are our only choices.
You can't frustrate every source of domestic energy
without consequences. Our enemies will blackmail us
to the extent that we are vulnerable to blackmail.

Are the Democrats trying to force us into a real war for oil?

Reid is starting to feel the groundswell of angry Americans beneath his feet.
