What I want from my Republican Minority
Yesterday, I wrote about what I wanted from the Democratic Majority, but that is only 1/2 the issue. The Republicans are in the minority, but they still have a responsibility to me, the voter. As a DC resident, I'm not represented or, to be more specific, all Congressmen represent me; but like usual, when its everyone's job, nobody does it. That's why I've come up with an equally important list.To truly represent me, the Republican minority should:
- Regroup and figure out what you stand for.
- Stop the Democrats from passing any of their lame populist economic ideas.
- Work with the Democrats to solve America's problems. We'll vote for you again when you can prove you can govern.
- Figure out how much longer you want to keep fighting the divisive culture war.
- Acknowledge that power went to your head and use your position in the minority to shine light on any Democratic improprieties.
- Use your position to counter-foil Democratic proposals in order to make the best policy decisions, not to just stop Democrats from doing anything.
- Decide who your pay master is - social conservatives or big business.
- Convince President Bush that it is time to get out of Iraq.
