Oaf of Office

"I, John Boehner, do solemnly swear that I will manipulate the Constitution of the United States against all enemies of the GOP, especially any uppity negro Presidents; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to my party over country; that I will take this obligation with the backing of corporations, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion that any Supreme Court majority could be bothered to bring to trial, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter as long as it results in embarrassingly massive economic benefits for my financial benefactors. So help me God Koch."

This bears repeating as often as possible... during a time when the government should be doing all that it can to get Americans working again the GOP-led House of Representatives, from which all jobs or infrastructure bills originate, have done almost literally nothing for four years, especially from 2013-on. This ineffectiveness is in no small part aided by the GOP's own schedule which gave them 239 off-days in 2013.

Here's a handy chart illustrating the degree of sloth of these corporate-owned puppets: (Click image for larger version)



You'll note the GOP was happy to pump out tons of legislation through the Dubya years but suddenly, after the biggest meltdown in economic history since 1929, the GOP decides that sitting on their hands for four years is the perfect solution to this country's ills.

Hmmm, what could that reason possibly be?

It's racism.

As long as the GOP continues to make a mockery of the legislative process all Americans will suffer the economic consequences. All except the rich, and that ain't you.
