THERE'S NO POINT IN EVEN TALKING WITH THE GOP

When this is their main agenda:

McConnell: GOP's 'only' option is to defeat Obama in 2012

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) will say Thursday that defeating President Obama is Republicans' "only way" to truly halt his agenda.

McConnell's comments are a doubling-down on his remark last week that Republicans' top priority during the next two years would be to defeat Obama.

"Over the past week, some have said it was indelicate of me to suggest that our top political priority over the next two years should be to deny President Obama a second term in office," McConnell will say Thursday during a speech at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank.

"But the fact is, if our primary legislative goals are to repeal and replace the health spending bill; to end the bailouts; cut spending; and shrink the size and scope of government, the only way to do all these things it is to put someone in the White House who won’t veto any of these things," the top Senate Republican will add.
