To the American people, we say that Republicans will deliver &#8216;the change you deserve,&#8217; &#8221; the memo says.<\/p>\n<p>The Republicans, whose 12-year reign as the majority party in the House ended with the 2006 elections, devised the strategy to prevent further losses and, they hope, chip away at the Democrats&#8217; 235-199 majority in the chamber.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Too little, too late. The Republicans already lost the November 2006 because they acted like Democrats while they were in Congress and voters couldn&#8217;t see the difference in voting for either one. if the Republicans think they can beat Democrats by acting like Democrats, they&#8217;re dead wrong. The Conservative base abandoned them in 2006 because of their intellectually vacant postions on illegal immigration and national defense.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve had GOP operatives request that I link this blog to their their&#8217;s and I&#8217;ve refused. I wouldn&#8217;t link to a Democrat National Committee blog, why would I link to a blog that was covertly acting like Democrats? I&#8217;m not a Republican because I like the name, and currently, the name is the only thing Republican about them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Times reports today that Congressional Republicans have a plan to ape Democrats in the &hellip; <a title=\"Republicans: Look!
