An Embarrassment

Republican David Yost is already in trouble in the area of keeping promises.

Dispatch:

Despite pledging to oppose any new taxes, Dave Yost, the Republican candidate for state auditor, acknowledged yesterday that he kept quiet about two tax proposals in Delaware County, where he serves as county prosecutor....
....Yost's Democratic opponent, David Pepper, a Hamilton County commissioner, said Yost's silence regarding the taxes makes his pledge meaningless, particularly as he attended county meetings in which the plans were discussed....

Promises. Promises.


* John Boehner, Republican leader and friend of lobbyists, has come up with an idea.  Are you ready?  According to an article posted on The Hill, Boehner has suggested that  they should "....freeze tax increases for two years and cut spending to 2008 levels....."

This is the best that Boehner can do????  Boehner wants to keep the unfunded tax cuts from the Bush years??????  How pathetic.  I think Boehner has his catch phrases on a recording device and he just keeps playing them over, and over, and over again.

When Boehner speaks, he usually says something like------

"It is a job killer!"
"Tax cuts"
"No!"
"...The American people..."  
(Is he referring to the American people he meets on private golf courses?)

John Boehner is an embarrassment.
