According to the Washington Times<\/a>, the Congressional Republicans have decided to act like participants in the process rather than just an ideological barricade to the Democrats’ massive implementation of their their socialist programs;<\/p>\n

House Republicans, leery of being labeled naysayers after rejecting the $819 billion economic rescue bill, are launching a district-by-district message campaign to promote their own stimulus bill and highlight the huge taxpayer debt amassed by the Democrats’ spending plan.<\/p>\n

The data, including a calculation of the debt load that the House-passed plan would heap on each congressional district, is being disseminated by the Republican National Campaign Committee (NRCC) through blogs, talk radio and local media in the districts of vulnerable Democrats.<\/p>\n

“We plan to make the case on a micro level that targeted tax relief and eliminating wasteful spending in any stimulus bill is the right way forward for America,” said Brad Dayspring, a spokesman for House Minority Whip Eric Cantor, Virginia Republican.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s how they’ll bring me back to the party – actually provide an opposing plan to give Americans a choice between parties. It’s an especially effective plan when the Democrats are sending gumballs like this to get their particular message out (found at Ace of Spades<\/a>);

Apparently, all of the wasteful spending that get pointed out to them is a “red herring”. Seems to me that they’d remove all of the “red herrings”, clean up the bill and produce something that doesn’t have “red herrings” in it rather than try to shove it down our throats and be condescending about our the way our money is spent.<\/p>\n

Of course.hyperpartisans like Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post<\/a> think the wasteful spending isn’t reason enough to vote against the Democrats’ bloated proposal;<\/p>\n

Watching the House Republicans vote unanimously against President Obama’s economic stimulus package, I thought of Ronald Reagan, the air traffic controllers and the potential consequences for those who fail to recognize that one political era has given way to the next. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As long as these anti-intellectuals are the folks who Democrats are mobilizing to get their message out, the Republicans might have a chance to attract Conservatives back to the party.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
