Jeb Bush, adopting rhetoric more often heard from Democrats, told students at George Washington University last night that the GOP "can't be the party of no."But is this accurate? Are Republicans really the Party of No?""We just can't be the party of no," the former Florida governor said, according to the student newspaper. "Republicans need to offer, based on their own principles, solutions to these problems."
To simply be the Party of No, the congressional GOP would have to propose zero solutions to the issue of the day (i.e., health care reform).
So, do they have any solutions?
Does this answer your question?
