GOP produces in depth charts and figures to explain their plan (charts inside)
Presenting: "Circle Power!"








Here's a snippet about their plan for healthcare:

"Over time, the Democrat plan would result in a
government-run health system. Those who like the health
insurance they have now likely will not be able to keep it
because their employers will stop providing coverage.
New entitlement spending would add to the skyrocketing
federal debt needed to fund the $56 trillion in existing
unfunded promises to current beneficiaries, and the
higher taxes accompanying a new government-run and
bureaucratic health care system would sap economic
growth and prosperity.
In a government-run health care system, bureaucrats
would exercise increasing control over all health care
decision-making and would resort to rationing of care as
the sole means to control skyrocketing costs. Such
rationing would import not only the policies of other
countries, but their horror stories. Consider Ann Marie
Rogers, who in 2006, filed a ground-breaking lawsuit in
Britain, seeking to force her local health care bureaucrat
to pay for the breast cancer drug Herceptin—“which has
been shown to halt the spread of the cancer.” In a public
interview, she expressed her outrage at the bureaucracy"...


And after complaining about the evil Dems and their energy plan, here's what the Republicans offer:

"Put simply, our energy policy is aimed at more energy—not less;
at cheaper fuel bills—not higher; at more jobs—not fewer; and at
increased energy independence—not less. We want to save
consumers money, create jobs and grow the economy, and
decrease our reliance on regimes that are not our friends, and the
Democrats are telling us no."

Aww...

1. Why would there be a gop.gov website?
I thought .gov addresses were all U.S. Government sites....

17. Thank you!
And correct on both counts. He's my best friend, Dante.

And that's not a black collie. He's a Belgian sheepdog. If I'm feeling mischievous, I'll say, "He's an Onyx Collie. Notice that white spot on his chest there? That's a Star-Sapphire Onyx Collie.

4. From the small snippet reproduced here, I get the impression this was written by Sarah Palin.
So many words used to say so little.

20. Governing is such a joke to them -- they obviously do not take their duties seriously
And yet, the Media fawns over them like they were rockstars leading us to the promised land.

Eric Songboy Cantor and Brit-Brit leading us to sound fiscal, health and energy policy.
