Let's Go Republican

The three publications talk about different aspects of the road to the White House, one being John Kerry as a possible defense secretary.  The Washington Post reported that Obama is considering Kerry for the job even though others stand in his way.  This is all a plan in designing new administration for national security.  Although meetings have been held at the White House no decisions have been made on who is going to hold that position.

The NY Times talked today about a new budget plan.  What Republicans brought up during the election about across the board income tax cuts are now being looked upon by Democrats as a possibility for this nation.  During the presidential run, Mitt Romney brought up the idea of limiting income tax reductions especially for affluent households but Democrats thought it was the worse idea.  This plan now might be the best thing. “Let’s just say there’s a renewed interest,” said Senator Kent Conrad, Democrat of North Dakota and chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. 

The LA Times reported on the Republican party and how they have no clue of what to do next.  After losing two terms back to back in the White House, they are stumped on where to head now.  Many say the Republican party should be a party that fights for their people. "We wanted someone who would fight for us," Jenny Beth Martin, a leader of the anti-Washington tea party movement, said at a morning-after news conference. "What we got was a weak moderate candidate, handpicked by the Beltway elites and country club establishment wing of the Republican Party."  The party is looking to make changes that will win them the 2016 presidential election.
