GOP scrambles to show it has ideas

House Republican Whip Eric Cantor takes great pains these days to prove he has a raft of ideas of his own.
House Republican Whip Eric Cantor — the man Democrats dubbed “Dr. No” — is taking great pains these days to prove he has a raft of ideas of his own.
Stung by the Democratic barbs, the House’s No. 2 Republican is unveiling a “Solutions Center” on the Web to address simple questions Americans are asking themselves in the face of economic calamity: “How will I keep my job?” ... “How will I keep my house?” ... “How will I grow my savings?”
The goal is to answer the questions with Republican proposals that contrast starkly with legislation offered by President Barack Obama and his congressional allies.
Cantor acknowledges that Republicans “need to work to make sure the message gets out” around a still-popular president with a dramatic command of his bully pulpit.
blah,blah,blah. Ok, "Dr. No", let's see just how stark your proposals are. My guess, not so much.
For those new here, Ron Paul has been called Dr. No for decades, because (1) he's an ob/gyn, and (2), he's voted (mostly alone) "No" to thousands of bills over the last 30 years as a Congressman, primarily because the bills fail the primary test, that being whether or not the bill or resolution falls within the scope of Constitutionality both in authority and content.
