Rep. Pearce: Disillusionment May Cost GOP
December 20, 2007, 8:22pm
“Volunteer voters” disillusioned by the current state of the GOP may stay home and cost Republicans more losses in the 2008 election, Rep. Steven Pearce said in a wide-ranging interview with Heading Right Radio.
“We are fighting for who the party is,” Pearce, a Minnesota Republican, told Minnesota-based blogger and BlogTalkRadio political director Ed Morrissey.
Other subjects covered in the interview included spending earmarks by Congress and energy policy. Pearce predicted that the energy bill that Congress cleared this week, including the mandatory increase in fuel-efficiency standards, will hurt the country.
“I did not have to vote against my constituents, so we voted ‘no’ on the energy bill,” he said.
