And not surprisingly, the state Democratic party chairwoman gives the GOP field a lousy grade.
“What we heard tonight was the same, tired Republican line that we’ve been hearing for years,” she said in a statement emailed to reporters after tonight’s Republican Senate debate.
“[L]ess regulation of big business, let the free market police itself…isn’t that the same failed Republican policy that got our country into this economic mess and pushed us to the brink of complete economic ruin in the first place? And on health care, they all seemed fairly content to stay with the status quo — not offering up any solutions to address the problem of 30 million uninsured Americans and spiraling health care costs — unless you count Ms. McMahon’s suggestion that our health care problems can be solved by going back to the days of drive-through deliveries and mastectomies and having people bargain to lower their health care costs. Tonight proved once again that the Republicans are nothing more than the Party of No — no ideas, no vision, no progress.”
