When the GOP does come up with an alternate plan the response they hear is "well, we won"

We were talking about what it would take to get the GOP back in play as a political party, not who has the worse partisanship. I said to get back in play, the GOP would have to drop their current partisanship nonsense, and start being excecutives in charge of running our country.
Virtually their only contribution has been, "Don't do that, it won't work". Shoot, Mitch McConnell and Mit Romney on the TV political shows yesterday morning? What a waste. Did they they offer anything up but criticism and whining? No, they didn't.
If the GOP came up with a well-publicized financial alternative plan, I missed it while actively looking for it. If the GOP has an alternative health care reform plan, I missed it's rollout.
Mostly the GOP has spent the past couple of weeks, around the Cairo speech, busy accusing Obama of "apologizing", and bringing up birth certificates and Muslims. Sigh ....
Seriously - Get over it, GOP, you lost the Presidency and the last two election cycles - hint, hint - those of you who are left need to start getting involved in what we elected you do to, which is fix the mess you helped get us into (probably why they have not been able to offer any really good alternative solutions ... )
As I've said, not a fan of Pelosi, and the Dem Congress doesn't get a free pass, especially regarding partisanship. The legislative branch isn't the executive branch. Obama has plenty of GOP in his administration. He's reached across the aisle far more than many.
