Republicans Can't just say Whatever, We're against it

If the Republicans don't agree with Obama's approach, given the severity of the crisis, they need to offer an alternative rather than just sitting still.

To be sure, there is the possibility that if the economy continues to deteriorate after a bill has passed and the public loses faith in Obama, the House GOP could reap the benefit from their opposition. They could say "we told you so." But even that would be a high-risk maneuver, particularly given the state of public opinion about the Republican Party.

Even if a bill passes and the economy continues to struggle, voters would be looking at a Republican Party that didn't have anything better to offer. The public likes hard-working politicians. - CNN Story

Now granted I did only take out a snippit of the commentary, but this guy must be looking at the picture through Democratic Glasses. The Republicans have been offering up other ideas, Nancy Pelosi and Reid won't let them in on the plan until the propose it. They can say, we are against it. That is their job. If people like this really think that it is complete backlash against the Republican Party, I want you to watch the next 2-4 election cycles. It is just like with anything, it is time to change. The Republicans had control for a long time and now it was time to change.

My favorite line - "The public likes hard-working politicians" Are you kidding me!!!!! If people liked hard-working politicians the entire bunch of them would have been thrown out on their cans. There would have been mass turnover every election.
