“The Democrats will go home to their districts, as we to ours, and find out from the people what we already know – that despite their claims of accomplishment, the agenda that they have pushed over the last year and a half is just not the agenda that the American people want.”
“As we head towards the August recess, it is clear that the Democrats will go home to their districts, as we to ours, and find out from the people what we already know – that despite their claims of accomplishment, the agenda that they have pushed over the last year and a half is just not the agenda that the American people want.
"August will be a time for us to draw the contrast between their attempts to lead by passing an agenda that doesn’t fit with the mainstream of this country and frankly the kind of policies that we as Republicans stand for.
"Clearly, there’s one party that believes we ought to empower small businesses, there’s one party who doesn’t. There’s one party who believes that now is the time to raise taxes in the depth of a horrific recession and there’s one party that doesn’t. There’s one party that believes in free enterprise, that believes that we can create jobs through empowering the private sector, there’s one party that’s clearly chosen the other route by expanding government. There’s one party with the Democrats who believe that the answer to our health care needs is to expand government over a trillion dollar bill that they demonstrated and then there are the Republicans who believe very clearly that we can bring down costs by empowering individuals to make their own choices by increasing competition.
"So despite what the other side believes, the last 18-plus months has had an impact. No matter how much they want it to go away. No matter how much they don’t agree with the reality, which is the negative consequences of their agenda, they’ll go home to find out from their constituents as will we.” ###
