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."

Forgive him folks; He was looking in a mirror when we uttered those statements.

Voting "present" would not be an issue if the legislation placed in front of our law makers was not so heavily politicized by both sides. John McCain would have voted "present" in the Senate if the option was before him because he was caught on many occasions voting against good legislation mixed with "undesirable" earmarks he so steadfastly opposes.

Voting present should always be an option for legislators:

1. When the legislator's constituency is split approximately 50/50!
2. When the legislation is a mixed-bag of good and bad.
3. When the legislation is not relevant to the representatives constituency.
4. On moral and ethical issues that many believe are none of the governments damn business.
5. When the legislation is unenforcable or a political stunt!

Under your "brave" leadership we have been getting screwed for 8 years. You're fired

Boehner sounds just like the PAC ad that's now running in NYC. But there's no connection between the McCain campaign and these PAC ads, is there?

[GoVeg]

Sounds like someone's pissed about losing power.

Boehner is a typical Bush GOP nutbar who is seeing his world crashing down around him. Is it any wonder he is lashing out?

[RC1]

By his own definition he is chicken sh$$ for voting those two or three times in 25 years.
Really stupid comment from Boehner?
Like calling the pot one thing and you being the kettle and both in the same mold, in congress.

TeeHee! Just another "know nothing" name caller. Not only does he not know how truely good legislation evolves he knows nothing about bravery!

[DuPageDem]

Spoken like a man about to lose his job. Wonder how many bourbons he had in him at that moment.

Honestly...we'll see what happens at his next election. How much is it going to kill Mr. Minority Leader to call Obama...Mr. President?

Chicken hawks who flock together always have a bone to pick.

[IowaKid]

Another supporter of Bush for the last 8 years. I wish he would get voted out.

[rmreddicks]

Have another drink and shed some more tears, bonerhead.

[sunnybunny]
