Democrats To Start Getting Tough

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Representatives from the Democratic leadership in the House and the Senate today met with top Democratic strategists and leaders in the Democratic National Committee. The meeting was quickly called in response to a speech yesterday by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY). During the speech, Mrs. Clinton said America can no longer "give in" to the Republican agenda.

According to rumors coming out of the big meeting, Democrats are now preparing to "get tough" and to begin a new strategy of "obstructionism". "We have been like possums playing dead up 'til now", said one Democrat who wished to remain anonymous. "Now the gloves will really come off."
