Come on, folks. Let's get real. Politics is hardball.
The Obama Administration should use the phone records that it is collecting to uncover adultery and other blackmailable activity on the part of House Republicans. House Republicans are the biggest obstructors to our agenda. This would be a very effective way to break resistence among their ranks and get what we want.
This isn't tongue in cheek.
If you don't think the next Republican administration will do this, you are wildly deluded.
Get the phone records for every Republican member of the House and start digging.
I guarantee you will come up with a lot of juicy stuff.
This is the real world. Politics is tough business. We know we have the right agenda. We have the resources in our hands to break opposition to Progressive policies. If we don't use it, we are letting down people in this country who need a break on jobs, on housing, on health care and retirement.
Sometimes you have to play a little dirty to achieve great things.
I'm ready to move forward on the Progressive agenda. I hope you will join me in urging the president to use the information that he has available to make this happen.
