The chatter around the blogosphere right now is about this:
Greg Sargent, blogging from his new digs, notes this:
Update: NRCC spokesperson Ken Spain sends over a response:
“The site is currently under construction. We are looking forward to relaunching the site and fostering a discussion on how Nancy Pelosi and her Democratic colleagues’ proposal to spend their way out of this recession is absurd at best and financially ruinous at worst.”
As it happens, though, the site was updated as late as yesterday, with…a discussion of Pelosi’s economic policies.
But there is something larger here. Is the NRCC saying that this message has been up since back when the economy was strong – hence pre-McCain “our economy is robust” comment that ultimately cost him the election? It would sure appear that way. So the Republicans are still licking their wounds of defeat from last November, while showing their disconnect with America and the voters. I hope they enjoy their minority status, because with talking points like this, it is here to stay.
