Dems are opening fire on the GOP in response to our story below, which quotes Mitch McConnell’s spokesperson saying that the GOP will start attacking the Obama administration for throwing out too many ideas on the economy, with not enough cohesion.
Democratic National Committee spokesman Hari Sevugan — who uncorked some of the more colorfully hard-hitting quotes of the 2008 campaign — emails over a response amplifying the “party of no ideas” attack that Dems have been waging on the GOP:
“I guess when you have no new ideas, anything more than zero must seem overwhelming. But, if the Republican party thinks that attacking new ideas is a winning answer, they’re more out of touch than we all thought. Now is a time when we could use all the good ideas we can get — and we invite the Republican party to offer some new ones rather than playing the same old Washington games. They can start by putting out their own budget proposal.”
To be fair, McConnell’s spokesperson also said that Republicans would hit the Obama administration for lack of cohesion. But the GOPer’s hint of exasperation about the amount of ideas does seem to give Dems an opening.
Update: Rodell Mollineau, a spokesman for Harry Reid, chimes in:
If Republicans would have done a little planning of their own over the last eight years, perhaps we still wouldn’t have 138,000 troops in Iraq. Perhaps with a little planning they wouldn’t have stranded countless Americans in New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Perhaps a little planning would have helped stave off the collapse of the housing sector. I know it must be hard for them to comprehend, but one day they’ll come to realize that competent proactive planning isn’t such a bad thing.
