It looks like the Party of No has become the Party of Maybe No One Will Notice We Tried This Before ...

Today the Republican Party has announced their latest attempt "to craft a new agenda," with the launch of a website called AmericaSpeakingOut.com:

“There’s going to be a months-long period of engaging with the American people, asking for their ideas and [gauging] what their priorities are, and that’s going to take time,” Buck said. “Most people come up with an agenda in a back room in Washington, put it forward and say here’s what it is, take it." [...] The America Speaking Out initiative will also include town hall meetings and other public forums that will allow Republicans to gather ideas for the new GOP agenda from citizens around the country.

... sounds awfully familiar, doesn't it?

Today, we are launching the National Council for a New America (NCNA), a caucus of Congressional leaders gathering the expertise of national leaders and doers. We hope that will form the foundation of a concerted, policy-based forum to listen to, partner with, and empower the American people with ideas and solutions that speak directly to the needs of our great nation. This forum will engage in a conversation with America that seeks to remove ideological filters, addresses the realities we are confronting, and speaks to the challenges our citizens are facing. The NCNA will bring together citizens from across the country to begin a dialogue with the American people through a series of forums, town halls, and an online effort that will engage people in a discussion to meet our common challenges and build a stronger country through common-sense ideas.

The NCNA was the disastrous and short-lived effort that managed to offend the Christian right crowd, was condemned by Rush Limbaugh (the kiss of death), and that held the one and only stop on their "outside the beltway listening tour" inside the beltway.

Earlier this month, the "suspension" of the NCNA was announced (because of "relentless attacks from the left") and now it looks like the Republican Party is slapping some new lipstick on an old pig.

The Party of No is still the Party of No New Ideas.
