GOP Congressman: House GOP Must Act As “Entrepreneurial Insurgency”

Rep. Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI) has an interesting metaphor for how the House GOP needs to take control of its message. Rather than rely on outside initiatives like the GOP’s National Council for a New America, the House GOP conference needs to take charge for itself.

Or, as he put it, House Republicans need to act as an “entrepreneurial insurgency.”

It may be that McCotter was just speaking figuratively when he spoke of an insurgency — in the sense that someone might speak of an insurgent politician going up against the establishment, for example. On the other hand, the revolutionary language really has been spreading through the GOP’s ranks — it’s not just Michele Bachmann.
