Man, what does it say about Republicans when they themselves admit they suck at governing?

Flake:
"We simply have too much power," says Rep. Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., speaking of lawmakers' ability to target tax dollars for particular projects, contractors or campaign donors. "We Republicans have abused that power badly over the past several years."

Boehner:
Boehner, in a 37-page document delivered to GOP members, said that despite accomplishments, the House GOP seems to be "on a losing streak."

"We seem adrift, uncomfortable with our ability to reach big goals and unsure about what we stand for as a conference. Lacking a common vision that expresses our hopes for what America can still become and our shared commitment to realizing those hopes, we've fallen into a dangerous and demoralizing cycle of the status quo, where we struggle instead of strive," Boehner wrote.

Lungren:
It is no longer good enough, [Dan] Lungren said, for the party to have a temporary leadership structure. "The real question right now is: How do we show the American people we know how to be a majority party?" he said.

Lungren, a former prosecutor, said he decided to support a leadership election after talking to people in his district and to Republicans outside Congress whom he said expressed shock about the Abramoff scandal.

"I've heard disappointment more than anything else," Lungren said. "There is an undercurrent that things have gotten out of sorts."
