Hint: It has little to do with helping his district out of the economic morass it finds itself in:
GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, a key player in helping craft the Republican message, has offered an unusually blunt description of the Republican strategy right now.
McHenry’s description is buried in this new article from National Journal (sub. only):
“We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010,” said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. “Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for [Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint.”
McHenry’s description of his party’s goal — to “bring down approval numbers” for Nancy Pelosi and House Dems — is being much talked about today among Congressional Dems. It’s likely that Dems will grab on to the quote today to bolster their charge that Congressional Republicans aren’t interested in playing a constructive role in governing and see their hope for political revival in the eventual failure of the Democratic majority’s policies.
So, folks--if you had any doubts at all about why St. Pat went to Washington, doubt no more. He's there to ensure failure--and help keep you out of work. Rush's little buddy. How cute.

The Hickory-Morganton-Lenoir MSA's December unemployment rate was 10.9%. How about working on that, McHenry, instead of preventing the recovery that we all need. Hack. Go to
www.ncesc.com for unemployment stats.
well dems were so busy working to drive down repub numbers last year they didn't even pass a budget for this year. that's why obama is already breaking yet another campaign promise on earmarks, complaining that this year's budget bill isn't really his bill, so it doesn't count and can have earmarks. so you have dishonesty and lethargy all rolled up in one. go dems! hope and change!
