Truly Freudian: Boehner says Republicans "Took It in the Shorts" with Bush-Cheney
Then why, Bonerhead, did you gleefully whore for Bush-Cheney? :think:




via AlterNet's PEEK:



GOP Leader Boehner: Republicans 'Took It in the Shorts With Bush-Cheney'

Posted by Faiz Shakir, Think Progress at 11:02 AM on June 12, 2009.

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) pins the blame for his party's current failures on the Bush presidency.




In an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) pinned the blame for his party’s current failures on the Bush presidency:

“We’re digging ourselves out of a deep hole,” he admitted. “We took it in the shorts with Bush-Cheney, the Iraq War, and by sacrificing fiscal responsibility to hold power.”


Boehner has only to blame to himself. He voted to authorize use of military force against Iraq, and voted against a House-approved Iraq withdrawal in 2007. He also voted for the 2001 and 2003 Bush tax cuts, which were largely responsible for turning our nation’s surplus into a massive deficit. As Boehner himself said in 2006, “I think that Republicans ought to stand up and support George W. Bush for the job that he’s done.” (HT: Political Wire)

2. Republicans are inordinately interested in the "underwear regions" and the
organs covered by said underwear.

4. I really think there are alot of followers instead of leaders.
And they have been in office for many years. I don't think that is an accident, if a interest group wants to get laws passed or laws blocked, it is in their best interest to have followers. people 'groomed' for office are not usually those that challenge the status quo thinking(many times known as thinking for oneself)

If you look at most Republicans they do what they are told, they repeat the same talking points exactly, and follow orders from who they think are in charge. That part of the GOP is what made 2000 McCain appealing to many, at that time he thought about things, and challenged things he disagreed with.

Most groups have some level of herd mentality, but most of the Republicans have it really bad, and stampeded together with Bush and Cheney off the cliff.

And if a person is a follower, and suddenly you ask them why or what is the reason for your argument, they got nothing to say, because they never really thought about that part of it.

7. Yeah, but they brought their own lube to the party.
It's not as if any of them spent eight years squealing.

You know you wanted it John.
