Shaping a new agenda, if needing one, divides GOP

By CHARLES BABINGTON

WASHINGTON (AP) -- It's not easy crafting an agenda for the fall elections. Just ask Republicans in Congress. They set up a website to solicit ideas, only to see liberals flood it with distinctly un-Republican suggestions. When Republicans invited the public to rank proposals online, critics lampooned the effort for small-bore notions such as ending a federal program for "historic whaling partners."

Republicans don't even agree on whether they need a new agenda.

With voters so divided over President Barack Obama's health care and spending initiatives, some think the GOP needs only a plausible job-creation platform and a staunchly anti-Obama stand on nearly everything else.

Amid the indecision, Democrats keep linking Republican candidates to the last GOP president, George W. Bush. In their view, the absence of a clear-cut GOP agenda for 2010 makes it easier to do that.

At political events, Obama urges people not to give the car keys back to those "who drove us into the ditch" in the first place. The jab partly refers to the pre-2007 days when Republicans controlled Congress as well as the White House. But it's mostly seen as a reminder of Bush's policies - involving the economy, Iraq and Hurricane Katrina - that left the Texan deeply unpopular when he left office 17 months ago.

1. "With voters so divided over President Barack Obama's health care and spending initiatives"

Really? Or is just mindless teabaggers running around with misspelled signs?

2. Bush is not running. The Republicans are. Chew on Bush and

let the Republicans win. Bush was only pushing Republican Policies.
He could not have passed one thing without his party's support.

3. This election is about checks and balances? Since when were they

interested in checks and balances? Regulation? Oversight?

They boggle my mind.
