“last week the minority leader told reporters that ``it is essential for us,'' meaning Democrats, ``to take down their numbers,'' meaning Republicans. And she went on to cite the reasons it is more important to tear down Republicans than offer an actual agenda. It is obvious from these statements that the Democrat leader's main strategy is obstruction and politics. They care more about partisan spin and negative attacks than ideas and progress. However, Republican policies are lowering the deficit created by recession and terrorist attacks. Republican policies have spurred the creation of a million jobs this year. Republican policies have allowed the economy to grow faster than any other industrialized country. And Republican leadership, as opposed to decades of Democrat complacency, have led us into the national discussion on the future of our most important retirement program, Social Security. The Democratic agenda has lost at the polls. If they cared more about working families than their poll numbers, maybe they would start winning elections again. ____________________”
