Feedback from MoveOn: Freshmen House Repubs. asking for a break from attacks on them...

[Cal33]

Freshmen Republicans just called a press conference to beg for a break from attacks on them for voting to eliminate Medicare. (1} Seriously. It's a bizarre?even laughable?tactic. But it points to one thing: Your pressure is working! The town halls you flooded last month led to national media coverage of the backlash against Republicans.

(2) That, plus the phone calls and letters against the Republican plan to end Medicare, and the ads you've helped pay for, have Republicans on the ropes. We're on the verge of stopping their efforts to cut Medicare, Medicaid and other vital services right in their tracks. But we need to double down. .....

1. All I can say is

:nopity:

[MineralMan]

2. Poor babies...

My heart just bleeds...

[Drale]

3. Um NO!

In fact we are going to increase the attacks into you can no longer function because your so insane and have to be committed to a mental health facility.

[KansDem]

4. "...your so insane and have to be committed to a mental health facility."

Would that be with or without health insurance?

[Drale]

7. Depends will they allow a one payer system pass?

5. they act like the crtics are lying. they seek to convince peop,e they are trying

to save medicare rather than end it. bullshit.

they kept repeating a LIE about death panels ad nauseum, but we are not supposed to tell the truth aboit their privatization bill.

so annoying.

[socialist_n_TN]

15. Yep that's the thing. It's not like we're like THEM

and making shit up like they did during the HC debate. We're telling the TRUTH.

My local MoveOn council is planning to go to Diane Black's town hall here in a Nashville suburb on Monday. We'll see how that goes. We're "outside agitators" as far as not being in her district, BUT she does sit on the House Budget Committee with Ryan, so her work affects ALL of us.

We're also working on getting a meeting with our Nashville rep, Jim Cooper. Blue Dog that he is, he voted against the People's Budget and I want him to explain that. Wish us luck.

[Cal33]

16. I sure wish you (and us) all the luck in the world.

[Ineeda]

6. like Trump - they can dish it but not take it.

He's a joke, as they are, but unlike him, they have power. We must never back off.

[Cal33]

10. That's very true. We must never back off. We've got to keep up the pressure -- indefinitely.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Peel back the mask of a bully and you'll find a coward.

[alfredo]

9. They can go fuck themselves.

11. Poor babies!

12. Obama's reply should be:

Dear Congressional Republicans,

My reply to you can be characterized in the following ways:

1) Suck my fat one.
2) Go pound sand up your ass.
3) You brought this on yourselves, so deal with it.

So, in conclusion, fuck you very much.

Love,
Barack

[Buns_of_Fire]

13. So we should kick 'em while they're down?

Answer: You betcha. Actually, I prefer it that way.:evilgrin:

[Cal33]

21. They wouldn' t like that at all, even though they're always doing it to others.

[HillbillyBob]

14. DRIVE them into the streets!

[damntexdem]

17. Time to redouble the "attacks."

Hey, this shows that they're hitting home with effect. It is an excellent sign.

[Cal33]

18. Yes. It looks like Dems. are becoming more actively involved. Sure hope

they stay that way on a permanent basis.

[onethatcares]
