Wuxtry! Wuxtry! GOP talking points! Getcher GOP talking points here!
The talking points represent the first major move this cycle by House conservatives to create united conservative messaging front, according to Roll Call (sub. only). They were sent out by the Republican Study Committee, a group of more than 100 conservative House Repubs headed by GOP Rep Tom Price — a sign that House conservatives are hoping to capitalize on the crisis to mount a comeback for what they’re labeling the “conservative approach” to the economy.
Among the GOP talking points’ highlights on Obama and Dems:
* “The budget is a radical proposal that will change the character of our nation, trampling on freedom and liberty.”
* “The only approach that has not been tried is the conservative approach – limited bureaucracy, lower taxes, and responsible regulatory structures.”
* “The administration is disingenuous, unfocused, and reckless.”
These claims are perhaps thrown into question when you think back to the approach employed by the Obama administration’s predecessors, but at least now you’ll know where this is coming from if you hear it.
