Somebody isn't too eager to talk about his party's agenda:
McConnell: GOP will detail election-year agenda in late September
Republicans will look to lay out their election-year platform in late September, GOP leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said Tuesday.
McConnell said that Republicans would definitely be laying out a formal set of proposals to take to voters this fall, but declined to get specific as to what the agenda might include.
"I think we clearly do need to make sure Americans know what we would do, and we're going to make that announcement in late September," McConnell said during an interview on Bloomberg television. The top Senate Republican refused to get specific, though, explaining: "I think I won't scoop myself."
I'll bet you anything McConnell figures out a way to weasel out of stating the GOP agenda in September. He desperately wants to run out the clock on the election without ever talking about what Republicans are for. And who can blame him? It hasn't even been two years since Bush left office, and we're still cleaning up the mess Republicans made during those eight years.
Despite the candidacy of a few high-profile teabaggers (many if not most of whom are going to lose in November), if Republicans recapture Congress their leadership will consist of the same old guys, and they'll follow the same old policies, and we'll get the same old results.
So the the last thing GOPers want to talk about is what they'll do if they get put back in charge, because everybody knows that they'll end up doing the exact same thing that they did last time around -- and nobody wants that to happen.
