Congressional GOP Caucus to Support Change, Obama

The Republicans in the House have decided to support “change.” Most of America knows they are simply packaging the same old tired policies they trot out every single election. They might as well support real change and campaign for Obama, that is if they want to win some elections in the House this fall.

Evidently the Republicans in the House of Representatives are seeing the light. They’ve lost a couple special elections in a row in districts they’d held for dozens of years, and this week’s vote in a heavily Republican district in Mississippi is not certain by a long shot. (Their best help to the Republican candidate there is to fly Dick Cheney in from an undisclosed location. Evidently they want to scare Republicans into voting for a Republican candidate.) Seriously, the House GOP caucus isn’t going to support Obama, though some might in November in order to save their seats. They have worked out a new slogan. . . “change you deserve.” Yes, they’ve decided to join Obama in rhetoric, if not in actual support. Here it is from the New York Times “The Caucus” column:

It looks like Republicans will counter the Democratic push for change from the years of the Bush administration with their own pledge to deliver, drum roll please, “the change you deserve.” The first element of the party agenda developed over the past few months by the leadership and select party members will focus on family issues.

“Through our “Change You Deserve” message and through our “American Families Agenda,” House Republicans will continue our efforts to speak directly to an American public looking for leaders who will offer real solutions for the challenges they confront every day,” said the memo prepared for lawmakers.

They are going to change their usual tactic of divisiveness through emphasizing “family” issues by . . . promoting divisiveness through family issues? Yes, they have really run out of ideas. What they are trying to do is backage their usual dung-laden agenda with some pink ribbons that say “change” on them. It ain’t going to work.
