Congressional Repubs Introduce Alternative Budget to Gales of Near-Universal Mockery

[Spino]

Embarassing for sure but again, we're barely three months into Obama's term and the country is still in the throes of its inaugural honeymoon (which, according to the polls, seems to be winding down earlier than expected). The howls of laughter that will follow this silliness will be quickly forgotten (I haven't seen a single mention of this on any of our shows today). The Democrats and the liberal bloc of the media can cry all they like about Republican opposition to any and all things put forth by Obama and the Democrats but in the end nothing short of a jaw-dropping GOP scandal is going to distract the public's attention away from the Democrats who have a majority lock on Congress and can do as they please.

This is the one good thing about being a powerless minority in a democratic form of government, if you screw up nobody cares because ultimately the finger will never get pointed at you by the voters.

The Republicans have two golden opportunities coming their way in 2010 & 2012, they had better get their leadership ducks in a row before the next round of elections. Ego driven incidents like these are a pity because they only distract from the good efforts of reasonably responsible Republicans like Cantor and Ryan. If anything someone needs to throw knuckleheads like Boehner & Pence under the bus and get Cantor and Ryan onto the GOP's center stage.

One thing for sure is the more I watch Obama and the Democrats carry on with this jaw dropping act of one upmanship style incompetency over the previous administration and Republican controlled congress the more I feel an astounding Republican victory in 2012 is closer to becoming a reality. I'm not kidding, at the rate the Democrats are going I get the feeling people will be throwing rotten food at them on the 2012 campaign trail.

Romney should dust off his suit and start working on his best Reagan imitation. With Jindal as a running mate Mitt could probably walk away with the whole thing. Not that Romney would be a great conservative candidate, I'm just playing the odds regarding which Republican would have the best shot. I mean if a guy named Barack Hussein Obama with no experience and some seriously questionable personal associations can become President then I really don't see a good reason why frustrated conservative and moderate voters won't rally around some Mormon named Mitt next time around.
