YouTube: It Will Be A Conservative Agenda

Representative Joe Barton (R-TX), the ranking member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee said that House Republicans “are going to insist on being bipartisan in the majority but it’s going to be a conservative agenda.” He added that Obama will not “want to pick a fight” with House Republicans if the bills they send to the Senate are supported by 60-70% of the American people.

“People like John Boehner and myself wanted to be bipartisan in the minority. I think he and I both are going to insist on being bipartisan in the majority but it’s going to be a conservative agenda – repeal Obamacare, cut spending, work across party lines, send bills to the Senate and you can get 60 votes and the President can sign those or if he vetoes them, then we’ll work hard to override those vetoes,” Barton told CNSNews.com at the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) election results watch event on Tuesday night.

YouTube some of Representative Barton:

“If we end up with say 250 Republicans or 240 and it takes 50 Democrats in the House and say 10 or 11 in the Senate, well it will actually take 15 in the Senate to get to two thirds vote to override the veto and I don’t know that Obama, with his approval rating of 40 something percent, is going to want to pick a fight if the bills that, you know, Speaker Boehner and the republicans are sending to the Senate are supported by 60-70% of the American people. I mean, I would think he would want to work with us and if he does, I know that we’ll work with him.”

“I didn’t run for re-election to say no. John Boehner doesn’t want to be Speaker to say no. Eric Canter doesn’t want to be Majority Leader to say no. We want to help America. We want to put people back to work. We want to create jobs. We want to reduce bureaucracy, cut spending, you know,” he told CNSNews.com.

“This is a great county if we give people the opportunity to help themselves and that to me is what we promised in the pledge to America and it’s what we’re going to deliver when we get the majority in January.” Barton also elaborated on the areas he thinks the GOP will propose spending cuts.
