Lord knows I don’t on what Boner thinks. Of course that implies he can actually think…

22

Does he really believe we would elect another Bush? We’ve been had twice…three times ain’t gunna happen.

23

go ahead. make my day. the last bush last bush administration created a war that killed and maimed thousands of american troops then completely destroyed our economy. The last clinton administration did the exact opposite. go ahead bring jeb into the race. I welcome him.

25

Yes, another Bush! We Americans are gluttons for punishment and need a hat trick. We need three Bushes who revel in their ignorance. We need three Iraq wars and three great recessions. We need to leave behind a big seething cesspool of santorum for America.

26

Well of course you are. I think the belief is that Jebb can reign in all those teapac bad boys, tell them to sit down and shut up, and they’ll just suddenly cowtow to the Bush.

The first plan of action will need to be Jebb meeting secretly with all those Teabags, behind closed doors, no chance of any microphones or hidden cameras in sight. Then if they all agree to get just exactly what they want, in the end, then surely Jebb can count on them to shut up, sit down, and do what they’re told.

Yep, that’s how I think it will go.

  1. Nobody pays 33%. Even gazillionaire Romney only paid 12% or something.

  2. It is the Republicans who have made sure that working people pay a outsized share of the tax burden, rather than having the rich pay their fair share

  3. Where do conservatives get this drunk fantasy of a world without taxes? A world without taxes is a world without property protection, a judicial system to enforce contracts, in addition to the thousands of public resources that you depend on for your life and livelihood. Don’t like it? Move to Somalia, because warlordism is the alternative to paying taxes, an alternative that we may live to see in the US if moron conservatives get their way and destroy the government.

Go ahead, run Pinhead Jeb. Another corrupt, crooked, cowardly, stupid Bush in office. No fucking way.

Please Proceed, Mr. Speaker.

Johhny Boehner should run. He has such a great track record as Speaker. He has shut down government. His drunken rants and his orange tan make him look so Presidential.
