Dems look to make GOP 'pay a political price' for stimulus opposition
@ 10:43 am by Michael O'Brien
Democrats are organizing efforts to make any Republicans who claim the stimulus has been a failure "pay a political price" in the lawmaker's own back yard.
The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has targeted two senior Republicans, Senate Minority Whip Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.) and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio), in recent days as part of a concerted effort to respond to Republicans' attacks on the stimulus plan.
For Boehner, that's meant a conference call and web video released by the DNC. For Kyl, the same. Even Vice President Biden visited Boehner's district to argue for the success of the stimulus, though it's not clear that visit was coordinated in any way.
"Any Republican who goes after the stimulus in a hypocritical way will pay a political price for attacking job creation in their own backyard," said a Democratic Party source.
