Democrats are continuing to indulge in political theater instead of working with Republicans to develop bipartisan legislation on important issues like preventing tax hikes on small businesses, lowering our deficit, and securing a clean energy future for our nation. Republicans will continue to put forward ideas and solutions to the challenges facing our country.
Republican senators are disappointed that the Democratic leadership decided to bring up energy legislation that was hastily thrown together behind closed doors and would jeopardize the livelihoods of hundreds of thousands of Americans by forcing energy jobs overseas.

The Democratic Party is divided, with some Democrats beginning to question the wisdom of the job-killing energy policies and tax hikes proposed by the president and Democratic leadership.

Republicans are urging Democrats to abandon their job-killing agenda and focus on economic policies that protect small businesses and don't drive our nation ever deeper into debt.
