Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) couldn't find a straight answer to give Sunday when he was asked how Republican fiscal policies today differ from their policies during the Bush era.

"What does distinguish the Republican Party of today from the Republican Party under President Bush’s rule with regards to spending, which is where it got out of control -- under Republican rule," asked host David Gregory on NBC's Meet The Press.

"Let’s look at a few facts — thank you for the opportunity, because I want to respond to what Chris said. The last year that President Bush was in office, 2008, the deficit was 3.2 percent of the gross domestic product. Today it’s ten percent. We just hit the $13 trillion cap on national debt," Cornyn said.

1. Cornyn is unable to answer anything

that requires more than three preprogrammed synapses to fire in sequence.

5. Has to be in the talking points he memorized.

Anything that requires thought is beyond him.

2. Cornyn is incredibly misleading. In the last year that Bush's budget affected was 2009, it was 8.3%

of GDP.
