Republican Roy Blunt Throws Bipartisanship Out in Statement
The #2 Republican in the new Congress, Whip Roy Blunt (Missouri), was re-elected to his Whip post for the new Congress, although he now will be Minority Whip.
Here's what he said in his prepared statement to the press after today's election:
Forget about bipartisanship from the Republicans. Blunt is keeping them back in the bad old days under Tom DeLay.
Here's what he said in his prepared statement to the press after today's election:
“For twelve years, the Democrats have gotten away without leading, without offering an agenda, and without saying what they’re actually for. Now they will be forced to govern.
“Under this Republican leadership, the job of the Minority Whip will no longer be to go to the House floor every day and lose. Instead, each time we hold our team together and force the Democrats to vote like Democrats, we’ll be taking one more step toward recapturing our majority in 2008."
Forget about bipartisanship from the Republicans. Blunt is keeping them back in the bad old days under Tom DeLay.
