THE TRICK IS TO GET DEMOCRATS TO ACCUSE THEM OF SABOTAGING THE ECONOMY:

GOP Vows to Get the Economy Moving (Stephanie Condon, 1/05/11, CBS News)

"The reasons the Republicans were swept into office in the House is fairly simple. The economy was on the brink," [CBS News Chief Washington Correspondent Bob Schieffer] said. "Somewhere along the line here they're going to have to get serious and see what they can do about getting people back to work. If this economy continues on in the dump that it's in right now, you're going to see a lot of these people who just came to Washington getting a ticket to go home."

The economy will be robust by the next Election Day no matter what they do, but the Party needs to find a way to get credit for it.
