GOP: some cheer and communicating
January 30, 2009 1 Comment
I enjoyed reading a Politico article that actually had the word “cheer” in the title! Even crusaders like some good news. I especially liked reading that the Republicans seem to have a plan which I read to be communicating with the voters. As others have written and shared on talk radio, the Republican Party has to be more than the party of “NO”.
We need to know what Pelosi and her tribe are saying and doing AND we need to know what ideas and solutions the Republicans have that are BETTER for America.
So a few words from the article “Members cheer vote at GOP Retreat”…
During his remarks, Gingrich told the Republicans not to “think about the future of the Republican Party” but rather “think about the future of America.
“If the Republican Party takes care of America, America will take care of the Republican Party,” the former speaker said.
He then predicted Boehner, his one-time rival, would be speaker “at a speed that will shock Democrats,” according to one person in the room.
Before Gingrich offered that somewhat surprising praise, Boehner reminded Republicans that they are no longer in the business of legislating and should focus almost solely on communicating their message with voters.
“We are in the communications business,” Boehner told the crowd during his opening remarks. “We can build a new Republican majority one issue at a time.”
John McCain is back in the Senate and he says he is going to vote…NO! on the American Recovery
John McCain may still surprise though as he reprises his Maverick! role and “crosses the aisle in the spirit of bipartisanship” as he claimed in the presidential campaign, which usually coincides with his being out of the media’s attention for a news cycle:
