Rep. Roy Blunt of Missouri will serve as the House Republican Whip for the 110th Congress. Following his election to the post on Friday, Blunt said Republicans will make sure Democrats are finally forced to govern.
Under this Republican leadership, the job of the Minority Whip will no longer be to go to the House floor every day and lose. Instead, each time we hold our team together and force the Democrats to vote like Democrats, we'll be taking one more step toward recapturing our majority in 2008.
Blunt said in a news release. He noted that 149 Democrats on Thursday bucked Nancy Pelosi's choice of majority leader.
We'll work each day to give those Democrats a viable alternative to her liberal, San Francisco agenda, said Blunt, who insists that although Republicans lost the election, Republican ideas did not. He said Republicans will work together to advance an agenda aimed at limited government, personal responsibility, and economic and national security.
