Call me crazy, but I’ve always thought that the republicans would be in much better shape had they produced legislation that was more competitive than it has been. For example, when they “produced” their budget proposal, it consisted entirely of charts on pages: a picture book.

They are unwilling to open themselves up to new ideas. Were they more interested in governing than they are in running in front of every available camera and microphone, maybe Boehner’s numbers would be higher. I don’t imagine the information about his hanging out in bars and leaving the H of R early everyday that reached the public a few months ago, endeared him to Ohioans who have lost their jobs and watch on CSPAN as he does everything he can to prevent any assistance from reaching them. If I were as corrupt as Boehner, I’d not be running for re-election, I’d face facts and return to Ohio where I’d pursue a career in public service, but then, I have a sense of shame that kicks in when I do wrong.
