Newt Gingrich, the Republican who when Speaker of the House introduced his contract for America (which America never asked for), opposed President Clinton's deficit reduction and economic policy, shut down the federal government and then later resigned in disgrace is now being imitated by U.S. representative Scalise.
Mr. Scalise is opposing almost all of the Presidents proposals and says they are job killers. Yet it is Mr. Scalise and his party who have no record of job creation. The economy lost over 4 million jobs in the last 13 months of the Bush administration. All one has to do is look at the republican record for the last 8 years.
The republican party has yet to find a new face that represents change and progress for the American people. Its new faces represent the same failed ideology and policies that has brought the economy to its knees. Scalise is all over the ball park on the "cap and trade" proposal congress will be debating and as usual offers no proof for his statements that the legislation, if adopted would result in huge job loses. It is almost laughable when republicans talk about job losses.
The democratic party over the years have proven they are open on various issues. On the other hand, the republican party is still the party who think they and only they know what is good for America and its people. Well the people rejected that sad ideology in November. Republicans in congress have nothing to offer the people so far so what is their new strategy? They are trying to brand the democratic party as the socialism party. When you have nothing to contribute, attack and attack.
Thomas Jefferson would not look at the republican party of today as a viable option for the American people. Mr. Scalise and his party need to grow up.
