Maybe I hurt somebody’s pride over at GOP HQ when I posted this early today, talking about how nonpartisan Katon Dawson was sounding in this release. Somebody — Katon or Rob or that other fella I can’t ever remember — must have looked at my blog and said, "Quick! Let’s whup up on Pelosi or somebody!" Anyway, here’s the result:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CONTACT: ROB GODFREY
WEDNESDAY, JULY 11, 2007Republican economic policy translates into economic growth
SCGOP Chairman applauds deficit reduction
COLUMBIA, S.C. – South Carolina Republican Party Chairman Katon Dawson today issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Office of Management and Budget’s report that estimates this year’s deficit will be $205 billion, or 1.5% of GDP, a $43 billion decrease from last year:
“President George W. Bush’s tax cuts passed by Republicans in Congress have put our nation on the right track to balance the federal budget, grow our economy, and return more money to hardworking South Carolinians. Today’s good news from the federal government proves to the American people that Republican-led tax relief is a catalyst for economic growth.
“Despite the rock-solid Republican record of economic growth, Democrats in control of Congress threaten to reverse our nation’s progress. Underhanded Democrats have exploited obscure procedural rules for six months in an effort to pass one of the largest tax increases in history, fund wasteful pork projects, and block American energy independence. It’s time to rein in Democrats who squeeze our pocketbooks, over-regulate our businesses, and drive our gas prices sky-high.
“I call on Jim Clyburn and John Spratt to stop Nancy Pelosi and her radical foot soldiers in Congress from disrupting our nation’s steady economic growth.”# # #
"Make that hyper-liberal-left radical foot soldiers! And make it for IMMEDIATE release!"
It’s one thing to share fightin’ poverty with liberals. That’s just being neighborly. But credit for economic growth — no way! We got dibs on that, boy.
