Boehner: Obama "Chicken Shit" For Voting Present

Politico:

House minority leader John Boehner's spokesman confirms the accuracy of this quote, from an Ohio student newspaper:

"Now, listen, I've voted 'present' two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn't feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chicken s***.

"And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chicken who wants to push this yellow button."

Waving yourself in the wind in front of an opposition like this is one way to guarantee your career in congress doesn't last much longer.

Well if our congress really worked in harmony, we wouldn't see both sides loading up earmarks on strictly partisan bills to even out the score, which many times makes the bill unrecognizable and illogical.

There needs to either be a whole lot of understanding going in congress in the future or a lot of housecleaning. Employees at Walmart or Meijer are expected to be team players and our Congress isn't?

The way GOP incumbents are having a hard time getting re-elected tells me the citizens of this country are tired of waiting for that harmony to happen.

In the Ilinois Senate, a "present" vote is a "no" vote.

The difference is that "present" signals to the other legislators that the bill might be acceptable if it were amended.

The percentage of Barack Obama's present votes is 3% of all votes.

Ben Smith at Politico is a partison hack masquerading as a journalist, otherwise he would have provided an actual story that included these facts for perspective.

THIS IS A START - Suit against Cheney!

Find Out "..what exactly the administration has been doing with documents that belong not to the vice president, but to the American people."

We need to hear from ROVE, CHENEY, BUSH, RUMSFELD, and many others!

Military Contract Corruption: NO BID to Haliburton Subsidiary:

Charges $40 for every soldiers meal in Iraq!
Charges $99 for every soldiers load of laundry in Iraq!

These are verifiable facts and this is just the surface of a very corrupt military bid process.


Let's Review Republican Track Record!

Corruption in Crude Oil Price Speculation
Corruption on Wall Street
Corruption on Military Contracts
Corruption in "FAKE" War in Iraq
Corruption in De-Regulation
Corruption in Healthcare Spending

AND NOW

Corruption in ZogZigZag Polling!

Lets END THIS!

Vote for Obama-Biden TODAY or by Nov 4!

We know BONERS have no brains..........................

[SpreadButter]

But they do have BIRTH CERTIFICATES.

[MaryanneAZ]

Ugh. Give it up already. If this nonsense had any merit, HRC would have been the nominee.

[terragazelle60]

really...are you ignorant, misinformed or just plain stu pi d?

[swift goat pet for truth]

So you are saying that Bush is so stupid, he would not even have the government check out a simple verifiabel fact.

[JayInDallas]

And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, or anywhere else in government is some chicken who gets his feelings hurt by something that mean old Nancy Pelosi said, takes his toys and goes home.

[LiberalDemIda]

Boehner's just upset the Dept of Justice has declined to do a witch-hunt in Ohio and not go along with his scheme to suppress voters' rights. And THAT, after taking time to write pResident Bush too!

So as he climbs into the waaaaaaahmbulance pouring tears (a habitual thing with him on the House floor) he pouts like a petulant child and calls Obama names.

Real mature there, Boehner.

[SpreadButter]

I think someone should kick that Boehner dude of the airplane .

[LiberalDemIda]

I don't think anyone wants to make a grown man like Boehner cry... again.

THREE DAYS TO GO AND STILL NO MEDICAL RECORDS FROM PALIN www.palindeception.com


"Dr. Baldwin-Johnson is a central figure in this entire story, yet has been almost completely silent and out of the public eye." Is she afraid that she may lose her license if the story turns out to be true??? YOU BETCHA she is, and she should be!!!!


Is Dr Baldwin-Johnson related to Levi .... Bristol's Baby Daddy?? Wasilla is a small town! Are they circling the wagons???

LOOKS LIKE IGNORING THIS ISSUE HAS WORKED !!!! THE MEDIA HAS NOT PRESSED HER ON OUR BEHALF AND NOW SHE IS GETTING AWAY WITH IT >>> ANOTHER BUSH/CHENEY TACTIC


IGNORE THE PEOPLE AND THEY GIVE UP!!!!

For a well-written and factual BLOG on why this is important .. take a few minutes to read THIS ... then write to all the NEWS agencies and DEMAND that they NOT LET PALIN GET AWAY with this!!

ONCE AGAIN: THE REPUBLICANS ARE MAKING FOOLS OF ALL OF US!!!!!!!!

This blogger makes sense! http://www.palindeception.com/ take a few minutes to read this

Surely the MEDIA have reporters who could have checked this out???

72 hours to go and STILL NO BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

[reason101]

You will be waiting for that birth certificate for a long time. suggest that you keep yourself busy.

Listen...I understand that it is easier to come up with some B S about a candidate then it is to come up with the true reason why you will not vote for someone. Do you really believe that this nation that leans on the intelligence gained by its CIA and FBI would allow a man to become President who was not even born here? I know racism is hard to admit.

Why don't you have your pant ies in a wad about McCain really being born in the Canal zone? Hawaii is a state...and dufis... for Obama to have been born in Kenya...his mother would have had to have been there. And numb nuts..she never has been.

[SpreadButter]

Boehner's are brainless but they do have birth certificates... and so does that backwoods palin chick.

"Name-calling is a crutch for the ignorant."

Ditto. Are we not seeing all there is to be seen in all for this election.

[ebanks84]

Boehner has a nerve to talk when he hasn't had a decision of his own in god knows how many years. He should keep his mouth shut and go away like a nice little no-account that he is.

[palmerdawg]

Hey, Bone-nutz how much did you get from your buddies Venners and Timmons?

[Bitsko]

No thank you, Congressman Boehner, for voting yes on all of George W. Bush's pet projects, thus aiding and abetting a criminal enterprise that has run this country into the ground. You and your cohorts should be up on RICO charges.

[KarlaElisa]

Know an undecided voter? Send them this article on McCain...it's amazing. This is bound to move people towards Obama.

send them a copy of ANIMAL FARM by G. Orwell while you are at it. It puts the chicken sh-t remark into context.

[alembic54]

he looks like a lizard doesn't he?

[SpreadButter]

Yes, have B.O. kick him off the airplane or just make him disappear.

[Retrofuturistic]

I think he looks like Lord Voldemort....

[Capano]

Boehner is another GOP who needs to be voted out of office!

When I see him or Rudy on TV...I want to go take a shower!

[SpreadButter]

Hey, you might be interested in knowing that Your new man General Powell and RUDY are comming to AUSTIN Texas soon to host some sort of business seminar. Rudy is probably on yalls team too.

There going to have a form a big support group for all these little people suffering from power withdrawl. Bo-ner, Lindsay, Dole, all of them can sit around in a big room and lament about their failures.
"Hi..I'm John, and I'm an i-diot."
Group: "Hi John."
"I'm having alot of , well, aggressive feeling toward George lately. Not a judgement."
