Republicans Speak Out With Alternative Programs

Some Republicans are at least are trying to bring some light to this nightmare that is the Obama government. To bad so many others are sitting on their hands while the country is being overthrown by Marxist socialists.

GOP 'Attack Machine' Hounds Obama

Four prominent Republicans in Congress have been outspoken in leading the opposition to President Barack Obama and his policies.

The four and their GOP colleagues have "begun pitching policy alternatives, though shrunken minorities in both houses make it difficult for their ideas to gain traction," Katherine Skiba writes in U.S. News & World Report. "Their attack machine, though, has been roaring practically 24-7."
Skiba cited these Republicans:
Rep. John Boehner of Ohio. The House Minority Leader in February held the 1,100-page stimulus bill and charged that not a single member of Congress had read it as the vote neared.
"What happened to the promise that we're going to let the American people see what's in the bill for 48 hours?" he asked as he dropped the stack of papers to the floor.

The YouTube spot capturing his gesture soon had nearly half a million viewings.

Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky. The Senate Minority Leader's declaration that Obama's $3.5 trillion budget proposal "spends too much, taxes too much, and borrows too much" was parroted by other Republicans in Congress. He and Boehner meet weekly and target "areas where they perceive Obama as weak: spending, record deficits, pork projects in the $787 billion stimulus, and closing the Guantanamo Bay prison," Skiba observes.

Rep. Eric Cantor of Virginia. The House Minority Whip made sure that no House Republican voted for the stimulus bill. He is promoting an "entrepreneurial insurgency" by proposing alternatives to Obama policies.

Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana. The chairman of the House Republican Conference has been critical of Obama's "socialist" policies and attacked the president for shaking the hand of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, calling Chavez an "anti-American, socialist dictator."
