On Monday, March 9, Congressman Patrick McHenry said the GOP plan is to bring down the Democrats as much as possible before the 2010 mid-term elections:
We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010. Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon not, a sprint.

**********************
"This country’s economy is in serious trouble and its people are in serious trouble. The economic problems we face must be dealt with head on and now. In the midst of this crisis the Republicans decided their agenda and party are more important than we the people, more important than the United States of America, and more important than the world economy.
The conservatives and GOP are showing themselves to be unconscionably selfish and self-centered at a time when this country needs Congress to work together to find solutions for the huge problems we face. So far, they are the party of “no” and no new ideas."
Shame, Conks. Shame!
