Reeling congressional Republicans today launched a new effort days after their latest setback -- the defection of Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania, putting Democrats within reach of potentially being able to push legislation through the Senate without a single Republican vote.
House GOP Whip Eric Cantor announced that the National Council for a New America will hold its first event on Saturday with former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney, who ran last year and could run again in 2012; Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal, another possible 2012 contender; former Governor Jeb Bush, the former president's brother; and Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour, a former national GOP chairman.
The council appears a way to rebut Democratic portrayals of the GOP as the "party of no" by pulling together a cohesive policy strategy by the opposition.

Hopefully Haley is just playing along...
Because that Pinko POS would bring her up in his anti English only Rants.. Got it???
Check out this video, from 2002, where he was “upfront, aticulate and strong voice” in favor of a “woman’s right to choose”. Also, he was specifically referring to keeping abortion legal in Massachussetts, so the “state’s right’s issue” argument does not work.

Here he is in 2005 (after his alleged “pro-life conversion” promising to maintain the status quo on abortion laws.

Mitt might sound good, but he doesn’t believe ANYTHING he says and will say ANYTHING to get elected. Once elected, he will do ANYTHING to get re-elected.
Jeb a Pinko???? What anti English rants????
Right too continue his Immigration Bill Is not amnesty comments,His drivers licenses for illegals LMAO you got a loser here like his brother and father.
The Republicans need to get together and come up with a list of CORE issues they stand for. Then, stay on topic and beat the drum till the sound is deafening.
Bravo! Well said.
Best thing to happen to the GOP since the Contract With America.
Heard about this. Screw ‘em.
yep.
The above mentioned are all bright individuals. I imagine they should be able to articulate a new plan better than the GOP’s Congressional leadership.
I think that this is a great idea. It is about time. Community organization on a grand scale.
Set back ????
The only set back I see there is RINO Romney setting back Conservatism to the back of the bus...
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I guess thats tossing it under the bus...
I’ve had enough of this Romney piece of cow turd.
Republicans don’t need to remove ideological filters, they need to build a honking huge stone wall with REPUBLICAN IDEOLOGY painted on it in enormous indelible Day-Glo colors and surrounded with punji sticks to keep “moderates” from breaching the wall.
Boiling oil wouldn’t be a bad idea, either.

We don’t want you.
Give us real conservatives like Sarah Palin!
I am disappointed to see Bobby Jindal getting in bed with a RINO like Mitt.
In my view being the party of no is a good thing. I wish we were the party of no during the previous administration.

I do as well.
Mitt’s a well spoken, intelligent and accomplished leader.

You are kidding right? Romney is a flip-flopper who ran MA as a Dem and then “changed” his mind when running for POTUS.
If an obvious RINO like Mitt gets the nom, I am leaving the party. It will no longer represent me. The GOP policy of appeasement has gotten us nowhere but into the hands of the Dems.
Oh for crying out loud, Jindal is on this.

And that concerns me.
