The Party of Change…The Republicans????

Crooks and Liars has the video up.

This morning Boehner, the idiot in charge of the elected Republicans actually tried to play the ‘change’ card on This Week on ABC. I caught it as I was doing something around the house and was waiting for the Celtics/Cav’s game to start. I stopped and let my jaw hit the floor as I listened to his logic:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Shouldn’t you have seen that coming?

BOEHNER: Listen, I could have used an antidepressant last week, I can tell you. But that’s got nothing to do with the job that we have to do to show the American people that we can deliver a real change here in Washington. And I think our members and our candidates are going to be prepared, this fall, to do just that.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But how do you do it, then? You’ve got Democratic majorities in both the House and the Senate. President Bush — you’ve been opposed to him on the farm bill. It doesn’t seem like the issues that you’re talking about, right now, that he’s going to have the kind of…

(CROSSTALK)

BOEHNER: George, he’s not on the ballot.

BOEHNER: You want to keep looking in the past. We need to look ahead. John McCain…

STEPHANOPOULOS: So President Bush is the past.

BOEHNER: … appeals to almost all Republicans, a broad swath of independents and conservative Democrats. John McCain at the top of the ticket will help us. But we also have to show as Republicans in Congress that we can really deliver for the American people.

STEPHANOPOULOS: But how do you do that?

BOEHNER: We’ve got to work hard. And when my members want to moan and groan, I understand it. The things haven’t been real happy for them, losing three special elections. But we all have to look in the mirror. We all have to decide, what are we going to do today, in order to show the American people that we’re serious about doing the
kinds of things that…

STEPHANOPOULOS: And what’s the number one thing you’ll do coming out of that meeting on Tuesday, to show that the Republican caucus in the House has changed?

BOEHNER: I think what we’ve got to do Tuesday and Wednesday is to deliver our energy policy. Here’s what we would do if the American people would honor us with the majority. We’re going to deliver a real energy policy that will reduce gas prices.

I think this bullshit was addressed by Jon Stewart this week..and it wasn’t pretty then, and its laughable now. Just how stupid does the Republican party think the American people are?

Wait….they did elect George Bush twice…
