Republicans must unite. Tonight as I listened to Fox News with Brett Brier, it was obvious that the Republican party Presidential candidates are setting themselves up for defeat in 2012 because of one issue. It is their refusal to work together in a unified effort to reform Medicare and Medicaid, create jobs and provide security for Seniors. Each candidate so far interviewed has refused to endorse the Ryan Plan. Instead, they are each saying that they have their own plan and will be putting forward their plan soon. The result? There is one Obamacare and there are being proposed so many potential Republican plans that the voters will decide to accept the Obamacare and reject any and all Republican plans. The reasoning of the voters is easy, namely, that if you Republicans cannot agree with yourselves than we will just accept Obamacare. As Steve Haynes said on the program, (paraphrased)
” the Republicans must own the Ryan Plan. They cannot and should not run away from it. They should get out there across America and explain the plan.” Charles Krauthheimer inferred that Eric Cantor and John Boehner should put Ryan in the front, fund his travels and make him the lead for the Republican plan. In fact, I thought he used the word “candidate”?!
