Harry Reid on the Attack

Good for him! Hopefully some Dem backbone will be good for the rest of us!

"There is a price to pay for this Republican abuse of power and it can be seen in the present state of our union,"

"Special interests and the well-connected have been rewarded by Republicans while everyone else has been left behind."

Reid accused Republicans of using "doublespeak" to sell their agenda. "When they wanted to let energy companies release more pollution into the air, they called it the 'Clear Skies Initiative,"

"When they wanted to let loggers cut down more trees and weaken environmental laws, they called it the 'Healthy Forests Initiative.'

"My favorite Republican doublespeak is when they wanted to give tax breaks to their special interest friends even though it meant adding more than $50 billion to our deficit, they called their effort the 'Deficit Reduction Act,"
