Classic Clinton Phrase Inspires New GOP Strategy to Regain Power Republicans appear to be crafting their own version of Bill Clinton's legendary campaign phrase in an effort to recapture both chambers in Congress next year.

Sixteen years ago, Bill Clinton surged to an improbable presidential victory over incumbent George H.W. Bush, primarily on the strength of a snarky campaign phrase: "It's the economy, stupid."
Now, Republicans appear to be crafting their own version in an effort to recapture both chambers in Congress next year.
Their message: President Obama's fiscal policy "spends too much, taxes too much and borrows too much."
While that phrase lacks the same zing as Clinton's, Republicans have persistently wielded it every chance they get.

Please see my tagline:
It’s karma...hahahaha!
The GOP is so lost.
What’s wrong with this strategy?
The Republicans should be having pressers every day...on all hot button issues!!!
Considering the recent performance of the President and his cabinet, I prefer “It’s The Stupids”.
It's not a strategy. It's a jingle.
I got a shorter one with more zing...
“Too much government.”
Devalued President of a Devalued Party
They’ve got dozens of ‘rats in Congress and the White House with major corruption problems, most with ties to the banking fiasco, and the GOP is gonna try THIS idiotic re-run????
They’re not even ACTING like they want to win in 2010!
Yes, vote for the GOP. We only spend and borrow too much. Other than that, we're just as shallow and corrupt as the Democrats.
WE should be ALL saying now...”It’s the ECONOMY, STUPID”!!
So they should keep their mouth shut?
So.....you support the Democratic party, is that what you are saying?
Not quite as concise and zippy as “It’s the economy, stupid.
How about “It’s the stupidity of Obama”?
What they did the last 8 years is the direct cause of the occupation of the White House by a marxist crypto-muslim from Kenya and that cabal of socialists running Congress.
The GOP accomplished NOTHING to stop the growth, power, and influence of the federal beast when they had complete control and continues to do NOTHING to stop the insane march to bankruptcy and hyperinflation being perpetrated by the evil perverted baby killing monsters currently in charge.
The GOP that remain in office do NOT want to make waves because they care more about staying in DC than they do about the nation.
The election of that useless imbecile Michael Steele is evidence that they have no intention of attacking the marxists.
This will not be solved at the ballot box, far too many of the people the Founders warned against have been given the franchise.
This Republic is lost, when it hits the fan and the military picks up the pieces, job one is to ensure that only taxpayers and veterans have the right to vote.
Our enemies sense our weakness and are conspiring against us, the attack when it comes will be vicious and cowardly, the Kenyan will do nothing to stop or respond against it.
If they are only going to spew ad copy, they should.
There is nothing wrong with recycling a phrase that happens to be true not that democraps are making the economy worse and worse.
