This, at least, is the way the Republicans tell it.

Republicans will tell you they were ratified in the last presidential election.

The two Republicans on the subcommittee then told us that any further recounting would be a waste of time.

The Republicans never told people that they were going to reduce what Medicare would otherwise provide.

The Republicans tell us all they've ever known is prosperity.

Congressional Republicans are now telling Americans they don't have to choose.

Republicans told them details were still being worked out.

And yet the Republicans stand here and tell us that they care about the working people in this country.

I think that he means "Democrats should do what Republicans tell them to do."
