Rober Reich: Crunch time.
Edited on Fri Sep-04-09 11:01 AM by dgibby
Now on MSNBC:(paraphrased) Do what LBJ would do.

Crunch time.

Lay out your plan.

Do what LBJ did. Tell the Dems there will be consequences for not supporting your plan.

Forget the republicans.

2. And if there are not enough Democrats to pass it?
What happens then? Make their names public? Let the people know who defeated health care reform? Make them pay a price.

3. Absolutely!
Wish I could have gotten more of it, but he was talking faster than I can type. Guess I need to start recording these segments.

4. PRECISELY!
It's time to go all in. If it fails, make sure you can hang it around the necks of the Republicans.

5. Yes, but NOT by simply not voting for them... by finding & supporting primary challengers.

That's how we will really start to change things...
