So while they’re complaining about the fact that Obama is taking on too much (BTW, Tommywonk has a great post on this here.) and not focusing on the economy, here is what the GOP plans to do to help resolve the crisis:
“We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. “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.”
Well, I’m sure this is what they got elected to do — to manipulate approval ratings. But the bright side is that this is clear and fair warning to the media that they are about to be rolled — again — by the usual GOP Lie Factory.
ps. Greg Sargent also rounds up a bunch of the reaction to this new bit of idiocy.
