This guy is a douchebag on so many levels. From his skewed logic, to his tan-in-a-can, to his party-line hyperbole, Boner ('cause you know that's what the kids called him in grade school) has cemented a place as a Dumbass in Government.
Here's a random sampling of his logic from "This Week With George Stephanopoulos:
STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me ask you then about energy. We showed your statement on the president's decision through the EPA to regulate greenhouse gases. Also, you've come out against the president's proposal to cap-and-trade carbon emissions.
So what is the Republican answer to climate change? Is it a problem? Do you have a plan to address it?
BOEHNER: George, we believe that our -- all of the above energy strategy from last year continues to be the right approach on energy. That we ought to make sure that we have new sources of energy, green energy, but we need nuclear energy, we need other types of alternatives, and, yes, we need American-made oil and gas.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But that doesn't do anything when it comes to emissions, sir.
BOEHNER: When it comes to the issue of climate change, George, it's pretty clear that if we don't work with other industrialized nations around the world, what's going to happen is that we're going to ship millions of American jobs overseas. We have to deal with this in a responsible way.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So what is the responsible way? That's my question. What is the Republican plan to deal with carbon emissions, which every major scientific organization has said is contributing to climate change?
BOEHNER: George, the idea that carbon dioxide is a carcinogen that is harmful to our environment is almost comical. Every time we exhale, we exhale carbon dioxide. Every cow in the world, you know, when they do what they do, you've got more carbon dioxide. And so I think it's clear...
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you don't believe that greenhouse gases are a problem in creating climate change?
BOEHNER: ... we've had climate change over the last 100 years -- listen, it's clear we've had change in our climate. The question is how much does man have to do with it, and what is the proper way to deal with this? We can't do it alone as one nation. If we got India, China and other industrialized countries not working with us, all we're going to do is ship millions of American jobs overseas.
STEPHANOPOULOS: But it sounds like from what you're saying that you don't believe that Republicans need to come up with a plan to control carbon emissions? You're suggesting it's not that big of a problem, even though the scientific consensus is that it has contributed to the climate change.
BOEHNER: I think it is -- I think it is an issue. The question is, what is the proper answer and the responsible answer?
STEPHANOPOULOS: And what is the answer? That's what I'm trying to get at.
BOEHNER: George, I think everyone in America is looking for the proper answer. We don't want to raise taxes, $1.5 to $2 trillion like the administration is proposing, and we don't want to ship millions of American jobs overseas. And so we've got to find ways to work toward this solution to this problem without risking the future for our kids and grandkids.
STEPHANOPOULOS: So you are committed to coming up with a plan?
BOEHNER: I think you'll see a plan from us. Just like you've seen a plan from us on the stimulus bill and a better plan on the budget.

There is no Republican answer because the greenhouse effect doesn't exist. Green is the new Red. Green house gas is a pure methane myth. This would not be the first time noxious gases have come from Washington.
So you're a scientist then? Maybe you could post some of your research and convince me the greenhouse effect and global warming are myths.
My point, when it comes to this subject is this: None of us commoners knows whether it's a myth or not. I'm not smart enough, and either are you. That being the case, wouldn't it be prudent to err on the side of caution instead of simply pooh-poohing global warming? The alternative, if true, is pretty grim.
Well, I'm glad to see that the Republicans do have an alternative plan for greenhouse gases. If it rivals their intelligent detailed plans for the economy and the budget, then we're all set :)
And Boner pretends to be worried about American jobs being shipped overseas?? Whew! It's a damn good thing we had a Republican president from 2001 through 2009, or else we might have actually had millions of American jobs shipped overseas. And that's just unimaginable.
