Republican's favorability polls are at their lowest point ever. When asked for comment John Boehner said, "Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi!"

"They hate us, they really, really hate us!"

The number of Americans who view the Republican Party unfavorably has hit a record high, according to a new poll released by CNN on Monday, despite scandals that have plagued the White House over the past few weeks. 

The poll found that 59 percent of respondents view the GOP unfavorably, a record that has only shown up one other time in the poll's results since tracking began in 1992. 

The Republican Party's net favorability ratings are down 8 points in the past two months. The amount of respondents viewing the GOP favorably fell from 38 percent to 35 percent, while the number of people who view the party unfavorably climbed five points, up from 54 percent in March. 

Benghazi-gate, IRS-gate, Umbrella-gate, oh yeah this approach is working out PERFECTLY for the GOP.

In fact so ridiculous has this situation become that even GOP aides are mocking House Republicans about their fixation on Benghazi behind their backs:

Roll Call reports that Republican aides are saying staffers are getting bogged down chasing bogus accusations. 

“We have got to get past that and figure out what are we going to do going forward,” a GOP aide told Roll Call. “Some of the accusations, I mean you wouldn’t believe some of this stuff. It’s just — I mean, you’ve got to be on Mars to come up with some of this stuff.” Another aide expressed frustration at accusations that military assets weren’t properly deployed during the night of the attacks and that a team from Tripoli could have been flown in to fight off the attackers: 

“There are some real issues there and then there is just some crazy stuff,” the senior House GOP aide said. “The crazy stuff is, you know, the airman in Ramstein [Air Base, Germany,] that knew that the Predator [drone] was armed. There are no armed Predators in the region there. The [status of forces agreement] does not allow us to fly them armed, and everybody knows it.” [...] 

GOP aides described another criticism aired at a recent House Oversight Committee hearing that there were four security officers at the U.S. Embassy in Tripoli who were ordered to remain in the capital for several hours after the first reports of an attack, rather than being scrambled to assist the consulate in Benghazi. 

“The stand-down order was for four guys,” the GOP aide said. “When you step back and say how were the people killed at the annex, they were killed by an indirect fire mortar round. Four more M-4s [rifles] inside the annex doesn’t change that outcome. In fact, they might have just created more casualties. We have got to get down to what really happened on the DoD side and for us the DoD side was not properly postured, why?”

Gee when even your aides know you are chasing your tail, it is well past time to get a grip.

In other news the President's poll numbers are actually up and he appears to be virtually unscathed by everything the Republicans keep throwing his way. 

You know, and this is just me thinking out loud, perhaps it is time for the Republicans in the Senate and the House to STOP constantly trying to undermine this President, and instead start doing the job that their constituents sent them to Washington to do.
