ATLANTA — The General Assembly’s first Republican majority since Reconstruction pulled some symbolic one-upsmanship on the Democrats last year when the Legislature adjourned on Day 39, one day ahead of tradition.

GOP leaders could do it again during the 2006 session, which starts Monday. The limited agenda they are pushing includes issues expected to attract bipartisan support from lawmakers this winter, votes in November, or both.

“The new Republican majority is going to want to show that they’re more efficient than the Democrats,” said Charles Bullock, a political science professor at the University of Georgia. “They get in, get it done and go home.”

If nothing else is accomplished between now and the end of March, Republicans in control of the House and Senate are promising action on:
Eminent domain — Following a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last June in a Connecticut case, state legislators around the nation are vowing to pass laws safeguarding private property rights.

1. Yeah, they backed off on their right wing GOP social issues

No longer are they pushing the hate agendas of the right wing against gays and abortion rights. But their hate still exists. Their hate filled and decisive agenda was pushed and won by Rove. He played them like a violin.

Let's see if they offer health care, decent wages, and Pre-K benefits.
W in 2000 said he wanted to set every American at the table of plenty. (Like his was set). But he backed off like hell where he is now demanding cuts in programs for the needy. But he wants those tax cuts to continue for his rich buds.

2. "more efficient than the Democrats" ?

What, they're going to facilitate negative terrorist attacks, start negative wars, kill a negative number of social programs, respond to negative national disasters and have a negative number of REPUBLICANS indicted for being scumbag mendacious traitors?

That's a magic trick I'd really like to see.

And so would you, Special Agent traitor Mike. :hi:
