Rep. McHenry joins the "Rush to Failure" Brigade

I got this little jewel e-mailed to me from the DNC:

The Party of No: 50 Days of GOP Obstructionism

House Republican Leader: “Our Goal Is To Bring Down Approval Numbers” For Democrats.

“GOP Rep. Patrick McHenry, a key player in helping craft the Republican message, has offered an unusually blunt description of the Republican strategy right now. McHenry’s description is buried in this new article from National Journal (sub. only): ‘We will lose on legislation. But we will win the message war every day, and every week, until November 2010,’ said Rep. Patrick McHenry, R-N.C., an outspoken conservative who has participated on the GOP message teams. ‘Our goal is to bring down approval numbers for
[Speaker Nancy] Pelosi and for House Democrats. That will take repetition. This is a marathon, not a sprint.’ [Washington Post, Plum Line blog, 3/9/09: Link]
