Republicans should keep reminding everyone that Democrats are in complete control.
If they don’t, then any failure in the legislation will be attributed to that part that involved Republican input.
You’re completely correct. Democrats were in charge of this country for two years while everything went to hell. And 57.4% of Obama voters were so damned ignorant they didn’t even know that.
Republicans need to show their opposition, loudly explain why they are opposed, predict what a disaster the Democrat’s agenda will be, and SCREAM at the top of their lungs when things don’t go right. And they need to do it on a daily basis.
During the last two years we had a Republican President who exhibited great reluctance to use his veto power to check the Democrat Congress. He also was also unable to locate his veto pin during the 6 years he enjoyed a Republican majority. Unlike the current occupant of the White House, he was unable to locate the bully pulpit.
I voted for GWB twice and against BHO. GWB had 8 years and BHO has been in office a little over a week. The mess we are took years to develop and 8 of those years were under a Republican administration that called itself conservative while spending like there was no tomorrow. Whatever we want to believe about what will happen under BHO with a large Democrat majority, we were deep in disaster on inauguration day. As Truman said, “The buck stops here.” This crisis began on GWB’s watch I for one hold him largely responsible. Had he shown some spine the last two years and used his veto pen and the bully pulpit I would believe differently. Unfortunately, he showed no ability to fight after the Republicans lost the majority in Congress. You score no points if you don’t even try.
