Reeling congressional Republicans today launched a new effort days after their latest setback -- the defection of Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, putting Democrats within reach of potentially being able to push legislation through the Senate without a single Republican vote.
House GOP Whip Eric Cantor announced that the National Council for a New America will hold its first event on Saturday with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who ran last year and could run again in 2012; Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, another possible 2012 contender; former Governor Jeb Bush, the former president's brother; and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a former national GOP chairman.
The council appears a way to rebut Democratic portrayals of the GOP as the "party of no" by pulling together a cohesive policy strategy by the opposition.

Not a setback by any means, but instead, a correction in labeling.
This is a good sign.
The above mentioned are all bright individuals. I imagine they should be able to articulate a new plan better than the GOP’s Congressional leadership.
Thanks, but No Thanks!
“Reeling congressional Republicans today launched a new effort days after their latest setback”
Since when was getting rid of a RINO considered a “setback”???
I couldn’t agree with you more, Retired Greyhound.
Jindal, Palin, Perry are fresh faces.
What setback? FReep Romney and the socialist rhino he rode in on.
I heard MCCAIN is involved.
BLEEEECHH.
Didn’t they learn. They just keep spinning their wheels in the same rut.
NO TO AMNESTY
NO TO GOVERNMENT TAKE OVER OF BANKS, AUTO INDUSTRY, INSURANCE, HEALTHCARE.
They still don’t get it, do they?
In my view being the party of no is a good thing. I wish we were the party of no during the previous administration.
I don’t want a new America, I want the old America!
Any where is Sarah Palin in this club?
Eric Cantor can now KMA.
mccain is a RINO..
“Houston we have a problem!”
If you do not believe me look at this.

Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms (CIFTA)
If the senate ratifies this it will be a clear violation of the U.S. Constitutional protection under the Second Amendment.
What group is that? The RINO Party?
Too many RINOs in this new group! The GOP is really stuck on clueless!
This club is nothing more than a bunch of egotistical Republicans stroking their egos. And any club that includes Romney and McCain is not a club worthy of any conservative support.
