“We’re going to take the gloves off on the economy,” said Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, chairman of the House Republican Conference. “I’m going to be a one-trick pony on the economy for a while.”

Good because the GOP has been a no-trick pony. They should refine their message to attract Reagan Blue Collar Democrats.

It's U.S. Manufacturing Jobs Stupid

No .... it's the Constitution and the Economy 2010 ....

[Prophet in the wilderness]

How about Palin / Pence ... 2012 ?

[Jacksonian Grouch]

about time somebody with an "R" next to their name does something!

Though this focusing on one issue, when there are so many ways to confront the neo-fascists currently in control; erosion of liberties, diminishing support for military, calling a (no pun intended on following, though a DUer will never believe me...) Spade a Spade and repeatedly label the Pelosi-Reid-Obama triumvirate what it truthfully is, a FASCIST government intent on destroying the principles of freedom and individual rights that make us who we are.

As long as they will fight hard and know how to use the internet.

...would cripple the economy at exactly the wrong moment.

When would be the "right" time to cripple the economy?

The GOP has never run a true conservative and a good man since President Ronald Reagan and I beleive they simply did not recognize him as the typical liberal elitist rino they like to run.
He was a great leader and the only conservative President that I looked on as a man that represented conservative Christian values and looked out for the good of the people.
Todays GOP is a wreak and full of liars and theives just like the commmunist democrats. There are yet a few conservatives in the GOP but most are fools also.

It's the Communism in the White House! Everything flows from that. Nothing else matters.

[kindred]

Their role is to cringe and vote as the communist democrats order them.
It is their votes that tell the truth as to who they are and what they believes. Most are typical liberal liars who follow their democrat masters.

Republican leaders in Congress plan to zero in on the nation’s economy, weighed down by an unemployment rate approaching 10 percent, as key to building momentum for the 2010 elections

I hope Sarah starts a second party soon.

Jim, that type of talk will get you flamed however I agree with you 100%, we need to stop pussyfooting around while our country is being destroyed.

How about this for a theme instead:

The GOP will run an efficient government, and will not be bought by lobbyist.

The GOP will run an efficient government, and will not be bought by lobbyist.

Sorry but that is above the intellect of most Americans. The message must be simple and hard hitting.

[Ann Archy]

Slogam should be....”You’re NOT Stupid....it IS the Economy”!....or......”It’s the Economy and WE Republicans don’t think you’re Stupid”!

[familyop]

Forget it. In local governments, GOP members help RNC members to lie, steal, violate family rights and violate property rights for their own gains. ...same in state and federal governments. They express their feelings of entitlement to big, dishonest taxes (e.g., impact fees, property tax hikes,...) as much as the Democrats do.

For one thing, it's probably not true.

After all, why did the GOP majority get voted out in 2006?: Because they were spending money at a record pace and in bed with the lobbyists.

This needs to be a broad approach to the economy, namely health care, cap and tax, the works. They have to assault on all fronts with the economy as the lynchpin, and no, it’s NOT just manufacturing jobs but all jobs especially next generation high tech jobs, because the key to saving manufacturing jobs will be to make them even less labor dependent.

[rightwingjew]

I read recently that Sarah will do just that. The Republican Party does not deserve Sarah. It needs to die or we will continuing to support it.

How about: Restore our Constitution and Rights!
