Republicans, including Romney, launch new [RINO] group

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.

“...their latest setback — the defection of Senator Arlen Specter of Pennsylvania.”

Not a setback by any means, but instead, a correction in labeling.

This is a good sign.

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.

“Reeling congressional Republicans today launched a new effort days after their latest setback”

Since when was getting rid of a RINO considered a “setback”???

In my view being the party of no is a good thing. I wish we were the party of no during the previous administration.

“Houston we have a problem!”

If you do not believe me look at this.

Inter-American Convention Against Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms (CIFTA)


If the senate ratifies this it will be a clear violation of the U.S. Constitutional protection under the Second Amendment.

This club is nothing more than a bunch of egotistical Republicans stroking their egos. And any club that includes Romney and McCain is not a club worthy of any conservative support.
