Is DNC keeping tabs?

Yoo Hoo, Media! People Are Hurting And The GOP Still Blocks Unemployment Benefits.
By Susie Madrak Tuesday Oct 20, 2009
... Because of the actions of two Republican senators, every day this month 7,000 jobless workers have lost their unemployment insurance (UI) coverage. Each day these two Republicans continue to stand in the way of Senate passage of a UI extension, 7,000 more workers will run out of benefits.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has tried twice to bring the UI measure to a vote on the Senate floor. First Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.), then Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) blocked action.


"Republicans hate America", "Republicans hate Americans", and "Republicans think America is a small, weak country" are recurring themes in recent policy "debates".
I can only hope that the folks at DNC are writing this stuff down - to use in national ad campaigns next year.
[I try to do my part - every once in a while I send DNC my own collection of these stories, with the suggestion that they use these stories as basis for 2010 ad campaign.]
