| Description | DeLay lays out GOP success plan; "Conservative Blueprint of Success"
The Washington Times
House Republicans yesterday welcomed the so-called "Conservative Blueprint of Success" laid out by Majority Leader Tom DeLay, but members said they looking forward to more specifics on his plan. Mr. DeLay, Texas Republican, presented his vision for the party's future to colleagues in a closed-door meeting. The plan includes securing the country by winning the war on terror, doubling the size of the economy and strengthening the family.
Some members weren't thrilled with the speech. "It was vague; there wasn't much there," said one Republican, who asked to remain anonymous. The member said that while Mr. DeLay pointed out the House's role as the conservative standard-bearer, "in my view that has slipped" and the leader didn't address that concern.
Rep. Walter B. Jones, North Carolina Republican, said he and other Republicans came to Congress in the 1990s to reduce the size of government, but that hasn't happened. Many conservatives were bitterly disappointed that House leadership and President Bush pushed through Congress a large, new Medicare prescription drug program last year that is estimated by the administration to cost $534 billion. |
