“If you can somehow find a way to let these guys — the Republicans — know that you are appreciative of what they're doing, that they're finally standing up and that they are fighting the Democrat majority on this and taking it to them on an issue that matters greatly to a vast majority of the American people, do it. And I want to congratulate them and encourage them to keep up these kinds of legislative tactics. They've been absent for way too long. This is gutsy and it's courageous, and it will stand these guys in good stead. It will inspire their voters, it will inspire them, and you can inspire them by letting them know you appreciate what they are doing.”

Thanks, for the great post with Rush's remarks.

It is President Bush that needs to act too. Recall congress for emergency session. Capitalize on how important it is to act now.!!!!!!!!!!

That would also highlight that they'd only be waiting for the Democrats to come back - the Republicans never left because they knew it was crucial to not ignore the topic.

The House Republicans get more amazing all the time. First, HR4437 a couple of years ago. Now, this. Wow. They stick to their conservative principles, no matter what. (If only the Senate Republicans had a pair between them...)

As Congressional Republicans contacted the President’s office, I am sure that he’s responding. I think that John Boehner may intend to let this run for more time, which would be good if that were the case.

If the President acted too soon, the Congress would not get the benefit that they really deserve. The strategy is to mount pressure, which is what they are doing.

If I were Karl Rove* for the Reps in Congress I would recommend that they make it seem as though they bludgeoned the President to act, which he’d do reluctantly (although privately he would do whatever legal thing he could to help our Reps).

*the magnificent b@st@rd!

Glenn Beck is getting ready to talk about this after he comes back from break!
