Blunt On The Whip's Role
Here's how incoming min. whip Roy Blunt plans to do his job:
"Under this Republican leadership, the job of the Minority Whip will no longer be to go to the House floor every day and lose. Instead, each time we hold our team together and force the Democrats to vote like Democrats, we'll be taking one more step toward recapturing our majority in 2008."
Sounds like sour grapes to me..the Democrats did the same thing when the Republicans were in control and now the republicans are reversing the status quo..just a change of party attitude.
When the Republicans held all the majorities they would caucus and not let the democrats in so now payback is a mother..reverse party politics and this is why nothing gets done from either of them.
