The Republican Party has been grandstanding lately with some highfalutin claims that President Obama’s budget is bad for the country and how Republicans could do so much better with a much better plan. Well, the President called their bluff, challenging if they have a better plan, show it! So, tired of being labeled the Party of NO! the GOP accepted the challenge, stepped up to the plate and put their money where their mouth is — or did they?
`
On Thursday, the GOP released a glossy blue pamphlet containing THEIR version of a better budget for the country. Expectations were high and networks cut away from President Obama’s internet town hall meeting to cover the Republicans live. But after reading it cover to cover, what did it contain? NOTHING! The “plan” was filled with vague and rhetorical spouts of nothingness, with no specifics, no numbers and no clear or concise explanation why THEIR plan was any better than what was already presented by the president. Well, needless to say, the Repubs became instant comic fodder and a virtual laughing stock from network to network, as they squirmed on national T.V. trying to justify and rationalize…well…nothing!

pokes fun at the GOP “plan”

The GOP itself is internally at odds over the rushed and unsuccessful process (thanks, Michael Steele), and embarrassment over the botched roll-out has caused a great deal of finger pointing and infighting. Well, the Democratic National Committee decided to join in the fray by releasing a funny new video now mocking the GOP as the Party of Zero. WATCH:

LOL The Republicans are just a running joke of their former selves. If their moves weren't so funny they'd be pathetic.
