I\u2019ve told you before: the Democrats only have one playbook, and they only have one play in that playbook.

Listen to Markey deliver this line as if he thought of the technique, and then listen to various clips of Democrats saying GOP stood for this or that over the years. These people are on the run, folks. Even Big Labor is against them on issues like so-called campaign finance reform and drilling in ANWR.
