Boehner: Voters Don't WANT Solutions From GOP

I have been pointing out for a while now how out-of-touch the Republicans are with everyday voters. When they presented their vague and unimpressive "Pledge to America," I noted that they'd just confirmed it. And if further confirmation is even NECESSARY, Minority House leader Boehner says that us voters (remember us?) don't really want solutions at all.

In an interview on Fox News Sunday, John Boehner (R-OH) was asked about the lack of solutions, such as for costly entitlement programs like Medicare, in the GOP "Pledge to America."

The House minority leader responded that the purpose of the Pledge was to "lay out the size of the problem," not "to get to potential solutions." Boehner reasoned that once Americans understand how big the problem is, then the talk can turn to potential solutions.

It seems that Boehner is content to leave the American people uncertain as to what the Republican's would do to help the economy besides extending the Bush tax cuts.

Did you catch all that? According to the GOP leadership in the US House of Representatives, Americans are satisfied with a statement of the "size of the problem," and don't really CARE what the GOP's plans to fix it are.

I care, Mr. Boehner, and I have zero confidence that YOU care. It's my opinion that you will lead your party right back into the same old behavior that we're all fighting against.


Speaking for the many people who agree with me, WE WANT TO SEE YOUR PLANS! Are you seriously telling us that you went to all this trouble to create this stupid thing, and it's a worthless paper that does NOT really indicate what the GOP will do if placed back in power?

Gee, uh... thanks?

Stunts like this make me even more certain that the GOP is planning, actively PLANNING to betray the American people by ignoring our concerns and opinion, once they are in power.
