Pic Of The Moment: Republicans Want Us To Believe They Can Lead The Country, But...

1. Oh C'mon............

The McCarthy flub was just an oversight. Who woulda thunk that a job titled "Speaker" would necessarily entail the ability to speak? Hell - in Hungria, they don't even HAVE a speaker!

[SoapBox]

2. It's all Obama's fault, right?

Oops...it's actually all Hillary's fault!

Damn, if they hadn't set up their bogus committe to try and ruin her...uh, if she hadn't decided to run for President and needed ruining...

[trof]

26. Naw, it's that Socialist Sanders' fault.

But seriously...the repugs are not only screwing themselves, they're screwing US.
They hold the reins of government (sorta) in BOTH houses of congress.
And their main (only?) focus to be against ANYTHING our duly elected president is FOR.
WE are the ones who suffer from their ineptitude.
Bastards.

[MyOwnPeace]

33. AMEN!

Well said - what IS THEIR vision for us????

[NonMetro]

3. Do We Really Need A Speaker?

Republicans don't even believe we need a government - and with them in charge, I can see why!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

15. I guess they could just drop the act and not be in session until the election....

Then they could break their old record of doing nothing.

[mwooldri]

17. They could always vote for Nancy Pelosi. nt

[louis-t]

4. Gee, who they gonna get?

Stalin is dead, Mussolini is dead, Francisco Franco is still dead....

[IthinkThereforeIAM]

18. Nyuk, nyuk...

...eom.

[ffr]

5. Chaos.

Brought to you by the American voter who seems unwilling to vote for their democratic challenger.

[CanonRay]

6. They have no ideas, no policies, no plans. They are totally bankrupt as a political party

All they can do is try to repeal Obamacare and mouth about cutting taxes for their rich donors. That's it, that's the whole bag of tricks.

[99th_Monkey]

7. Government-Haters are constitutionally incapable of governing, period.

that's what this whole silly House GOP wing-nut caucus of 40 government haters is about.

They need to be called out on this over and over and over until they are shamed out of DC.
they have no business being there if their only purpose is to hate and destroy the very
institutions they are sworn to uphold and make functional for the public benefit.

[Old Crow]

8. +1. Well-stated. Thank you. (N/T)

[Doctor_J]

9. Exactly. I'm surprised they haven't cooked up a meme about how they're proud no one wants to be

Boner.

[niyad]

23. shhhh, we will probably see that tomorrow.

[Enthusiast]

35. If we had a fair and unbiased media they wouldn't last a week.

[stonecutter357]

10. K&R!

[LittleGirl]

11. bwaahaaa, that's beautiful! eom

[tavernier]

12. Issa and Gingrich

First two in the queue.

😱😱😱

[hibbing]

13. And you want to be my latex salesman n/t

[WillyT]

14. K & R !!!

[mwooldri]

16. A good argument to elect Nancy Pelosi speaker.

Get 60 Republicans to abstain or be absent, and every Democrat in there voting.

Now that would be interesting - both politically and constitutionally.

[Sunlei]

21. Pelosi is an excellent choice. Work would get done!

[Johonny]

19. Citizen United broke the GOP. They thought it was a Godsend. Showing they are stupid, short sighted

on that court decision just like nearly everything policy wise they pretend to stand for. Try to respect a GOP voter when they talk about leadership and the GOP and Dems weakness. There isn't even a party on that side anymore let alone a leader. Just noise... lots and lots of noise.

[Sunlei]

20. They can beg for the OrAngE mAn to stay. Hes afraid to break the republican "pledges"

I think Bohner heard the Pope sing to him like an Eric Burdon song, "John you need to get out of this place, if it's the last thing you ever do!"

[d_legendary1]

22. They all want to take the gubbermint down

The problem is trying to agree on how to do it.

[dmr]

24. I'm recruiting Samuel L Jackson

Cspan will be a blast.

[appalachiablue]

25. K & R. Anti-Govt Party of Corporatists

[polynomial]

27. No speaker speaks volumes

The Republicans are real slicksters…the new way to a government shut-down.

They don’t speak anymore. This is a speak easy issue…( Midnight Cowboy) every-bodies talking at us we don’t hear a word their saying…only the echo’s of Jeb and Trump.

Whaw aah whaaw...don't stump at ground zero.

[patsimp]

28. the irony is lost on those conservative morons

[ThoughtCriminal]

29. Electing republicans to govern is like...

hiring a pyromaniac arsonist to install a sprinkler system.



Really, it's spraying napalm?

[Danascot]

30. How can anyone think they can run the country when they can't even run themselves?

nt

[SmittynMo]

31. Between the GOP and Trump,

they have made a complete mockery of our political system. It's embarrassing.

I have never seen anything like this. EVER!!!

Why don't they just throw in the towel?

I suspect that the 2016 elections, will result in the biggest landslide for the dems, in all of history. How can anyone continue to support these idiots?

I'm pretty sure Bernie is picking up a lot of their voters.

[MyOwnPeace]

34. I wish......

I could share your optimism, but I've got a sick stomach for the continued hate that I see for our President.
Passed a pick-up truck driven by a silver-haired white guy with two bumper stickers:

IMPEACH OBAMA

and

DR. CARSON FOR PRESIDENT

Huh? Are you serious????

Also, on another pick-up:

IF YOU VOTED FOR HIM, YOU GOT WHAT YOU DESERVED, BUT I DIDN'T DESERVE THAT!

Again, really? Are you serious?

And finally, I had a person say he's not felt "safe" since Obama took office.

Huh? He felt "save" with DIMSON?

What cave was he living in?

Sorry, can't feel optimistic about the coming election - there are fools out there and we live among them - and they vote..................

[Jenny_92808]

36. It is only 20-something percent who are the .....

RW extremist whack-a-doodles. It just seems like more since they are so vocal. Hey, think about it....the worst of them are dieing off daily being replaced by the more tolerant younger generations. It is only a matter of time.

[WhiteHat]

32. yeah, it's a problem fersher

But it has been what? 2 decades? since the Republican party has even attempted to be sensible about leading the country.

The GOP has been trying to redefine itself since Newt the Criminal was a playah. Now they've simply devolved to an anti-government group. So before they select a "governmental leader," they have to decide whether they're even interested in governing.
