If you have been watching the drama on the Potomac then you have noticed that the GOP seems to be the party of “no”.  That is they will not get behind anything the president is attempting to do.  But they, the Repubs, say that it is not that they want him to fail, it is that they do not like his policies.  But absolutely nowhere do they offer anything as a plan B other than tax cuts.

So you think the GOP is trying to do the right thing for the country by opposing Obama at every turn?  But now, after I have been telling people that this is not about policies it is about politics.  And once again I have been proven right…and what a good feeling that is…..

GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, a key player in helping craft the Republican message, has offered an unusually blunt description of the Republican strategy right now.

“We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. “Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint.”

McHenry’s spokesperson, Brock McCleary, says his boss is standing by the quote.

McHenry’s description of his party’s goal — to “bring down approval numbers” for Nancy Pelosi and House Dems — is being much talked about today among Congressional Dems. It’s likely that Dems will grab on to the quote today to bolster their charge that Congressional Republicans aren’t interested in playing a constructive role in governing and see their hope for political revival in the eventual failure of the Democratic majority’s policies.

There you are….it is politics…..the repubs have NOTHING constructive to add to the economic conversation, so they must be as destructive as they can and as obstructive as they can.  It is ALL about the 2010 election, nothing else.  The economy can fail completely, that will be acceptable to the GOP.  Why?  Will give them wins in 2010.

Hope you Repubs are proud of your party…because they care less for you and your family…..as long as they can return to power…they will sacrifice you and yours.  Happy now?
