that talking point in the "interview" or statement they're giving. "Job killing Obamacare" comes to mind -- regardless of the question, they'd manage to throw that out there. We need to do the same. So when the media DOES cover something we say, we're saying the same damning truth about the pipeline.

If we made a big enough stink about it, the media would HAVE to cover it. We HAVEN'T made a big enough stink about it.

That's my observation, anyway.

Obama is the decider of this issue. He can veto this bill. limpyhobbler May 2013 #7
