Oct 2013

1. Say, "We're truning the page but looking forward. We will not prosecute the bush officials for war crimes, but priority 1 will be to repair as much damage as possible, THIS YEAR.

2. Start ramming through progressive laws. after the 3rd faux-fillibuster, go nuclear.

3. Introduce SP HC, and repeat over and over the numbers of uninsured Americans and bankruptcies caused by medical bills. Talk every day about how obstructive Repukes and hate Radio are literally causing the deaths of thousands of Americans. Do this until they either give in, or election day 2010.

4. Talk every day about borrow and spend Repukes.

5. Tie the DC Dems to Levin, Limpballs, Beck, Fox News, and the other thousands of hate radio hosts, every day.

IOW, ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK.

They screwed up the chance of a generation.
