John Boehner tore himself away from his mistress, the tanning parlors, the golf course, and the bars long enough to talk about the new Republican contract on America.  If you are not as insulted by what he had to say as I am, may I respectfully suggest that you visit your local poison control center for an insaniTEA screening.<\/font><\/p>\n

Since its release last week, House Republicans have been touting their \u201cPledge To America\u201d as a bold policy vision to solve the nation\u2019s problems, which they would enact if they gain a majority after the November elections. However, revealing the pledge to be nothing more than regurgitated rhetoric that ignores critical issues, even conservative critics have [wing-nuts delinked] slammed it as \u201cmeaningless stuff\u201d that fails on \u201cadvocacy of long term sound public policy.\u201d<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Today on Fox News Sunday, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) seemed to concede this point. When host Chris Wallace noted that the Pledge does not even address entitlement spending such as Social Security and Medicare, Boehner countered by saying that its purpose is only to \u201clay out the size of the problem,\u201d rather than \u201cto get to potential solutions.\u201d This, of course, flies in the face of GOP branding of the proposal, but Boehner explained that he doesn\u2019t think the American people can handle his ideas right now<\/font><\/strong>, saying, \u201cOnce Americans understand how big the problem is, then we can begin to talk about potential solutions\u201d…<\/p>\n

…Watch it:<\/p>\n

Indeed, Boehner was more than a little off message in saying \u201clet\u2019s not get to the potential solutions.\u201d As his own Pledge states, surveying the proposals laid out in its pages, \u201cWe recognize that these solutions are ambitious [GOP delinked].\u201d It concludes by affirming that Republicans will fight to \u201cpromote and advance solutions.\u201d… [emphasis added<\/em>]<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

People, what Agent Orange is telling us is that we all need to be good little sheeple and trust Big Brother Boner to take care of us, because we\u2019re not smart enough to handle the solutions.  Well I know plenty about Republican solutions.  I went through eight years of Republican solutions and I\u2019m still trying to find O rings on sale to repair the damage that Republicans\u2019 tender mercies did to my nether orifice. <\/font><\/p>\n

What this lying son of a bitch is really saying is that he lacks the courage to tell us what Republican plans are.  He does not want to talk about tax cuts for the rich, deregulation for criminal corporations, dismantling the safety net for which we have all paid with our taxes and social security contributions, and cutting back services, except for the rich.  America opposes his real plan and rightly so.  With all their faults, most Democrats try to represent everyone.  Republicans govern exclusively for the benefit of criminal corporations and the richest 1%.  Your vote matters!<\/font><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
