TOP SECRET
Republican Agenda
Rep. Peter King has an idea that should be well received by the American people. (Not!)
RawStory:
Rep. Peter King (R-NY) told a radio show Thursday that the GOP should focus on its strategy of being against President Barack Obama's policies, but shouldn't give too many specifics on its own policies -- or those policies could be used against them.
GOP strategy should be "a combination of being against what Obama is for, and also giving certain specifics of what we are for," King told the Bill Bennett Radio Show. "Having said that, I don’t think we have to lay out a complete agenda, from top to bottom, because then we would have the national mainstream media jumping on every point trying to make that a campaign issue."
....."Deliberately hiding one's ideas for fear of examination is not only cowardice, it's indicative of a party that suspects its own beliefs would be rejected by the public," writes Steve Benen at the Washington Monthly.....
These Republicans must be out of their minds. Do they think people will vote for them without knowing what they plan to do? I can just hear Republicans saying, "Vote for me. I'm going to do stuff, but I can't tell you because Peter King and the Republican leadership won't tell you until after election day."
Would you buy a house without seeing it? Would you buy a car without checking it out and driving it? If Republicans offer you leadership, you better find out exactly what that means. Buyer beware!
