BOEHNER: $250k on Golf, $0 for Unemployed & Raise Retirement Age

[MultiCodger]

The DUFFER just likes to wash balls....

[cromagnan]

John Boehner is a Blight on America and needs to step down. Someone replace him PLEASE!

[DC7077]

poor people - basketball

middle class - bowling

upper class - tennis

really rich - golf

see the pattern? The richer you get - the smaller your balls...

[electricfarris]

Boehner works for the Big Corporations not the little people. All that bribery is being paid back. Ooop's I meant to say lobbying.

[serpentineflame]

Hey Boo Boo!! It's YOGI BEAR!!

[MrBoy219]

our taxes at work

[buickbrat]

The Idiot "Parling Lot Grocery Cart Collector"(Obama) couldn't even manage a cash register at Winn Dixie..OBAMA=HISTORICAL FAILURE...

[deeppurple28]

Fuck you Boehner you fucking Cry Baby! Cry for us you little drunkard bitch, lets see some tears!

[MrBoy219]

AND TO THINK THIS IDIOT IS SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE IN 2011

[Slayerfan84]

What's funny is that this moron made it clear, he wants to cut Social Security, raise the retirement age to 70, and all to spend on wars! He has been very clear about this, maybe its not Boehner's fault, he is being blunt about it! Maybe someone else is a fucking imbecile who still supports this clown! Maybe there are people out there who don't care for Social Security and they don't mind working till age 70! Tea Party anyone?

[ProudConservative47]

haha I love it. All you libs get on here and bitch about boehner. Well I got news for ya, he isn't going anywhere. Bless your guys hearts for backing Coussoule who didn't have a prayer. Boehner had more than double his votes. Don't like him? get the fuck out of the 8th district.

[barakah856]

Correction to my comment- I meant 60 HOUSE Republicans and 9 HOUSE Democrats, and yes, Boehner got more than all Dems combined. In 2010 in the Senate, 21 Republicans got Wall Street cash and 0 Democrats did.

[barakah856]

In 2010, 60 Senate Republicans and 9 Senate Democrats received money from Wall Street. John Boehner got more than ALL the Democrats combined- $1,300,000 to be exact. Now whose side do you think he's on- YOURS or WALL STREET'S? Get him out of there- vote for Justin Coussoule!

[isawanangel2]

wow that's one out of four days

[DMPolice]

Lib-trash i.e. "spread the wealth" Socialists are so desperate because the majority of the US don't want that kind of filth in office that they have to attack people because they have money. Well guess what? It's none of your fucking business what people do with their money! What part of that don't you losers get? Are you afraid your welfare is drying up? Libs = the dregs of society.

[2close2themoon]

Boner's allowed to spend his money however he likes. And we are allowed to note what an insensitive, overtanned despot he is.

[rumisouth]

See, when Republicans talk about the president's vacation-time they're projecting the criticism from their own habits.

[MTodd46321]

Friends Don't let Friends Vote Republican ~ Former Republican, will people in Ohio continue to eat this mans bull and the party of No ?

[zulubeat]

good one!

[blair227]

Boner needs to be defeated in his next election,but will survive because his district is largely made up of people who make the German Bund of WW2 days look like flaming liberals.

[ndbcruse14]

He's obviously golfing for booze...$159,000 for a year supply of gin is what they really should of said.

[2cOthers]

He looks like he could be related to "Big Daddy" the guy in the fireworks ads along the Interstate

[DillonDee1]

Bonner spends more on golf in a year than the average American makes in a year.

And don't even ask about his bar bill!

[jokawild555]

HES ORANGE!

[MHred5]

Great campaign ad!

[luciferosirisarnold]

Communist, the few running the many.

[3GPalmSprings]

Great ad

[Renagade70]

Hey republicans what does your party have to offer at the mid-trem? What ideas has the GOP offered in the last 18 months? Let me answer that for you. Tax cuts for the rich and tax cuts for the rich. How does it do for you? Nothing at all.

[LadyDea108]

niiiiiiiiice =)

[grailkin]

Not only is Boehner an ass hat he exemplifies GOP values (greed over principals). I saw him on MTP and as per usual the regressives never answer a question directly even though you are looking for a yes or no answer. He beat around the bush and tried to reframe it his way. In the end he wanted us to believe that the tax cuts for the sunset on tax cuts for the rich means a rise in everyones taxes.....which it does not. Most middle class folks realized a lessening of thier taxes in '09

[joespeed87]

The worst thing in Ohio is not the Cleveland Browns,it is John Boehner. He puts the ass in jackass(or asshole). We need all Ohioans and Americans to get rid of the hell no man right now,so we can start living the way that all Americans should-with class and dignity.

[wallster44]

If the people of Ohio re-elect Boehner, they deserve everything the multimillion dollar corporate elitists take from them.

[joespeed87]

@wallster44 the more he opens his mouth,Ohioans will realize that he is a jerk who doesnt care about anything but the almighty dollar. He has 40 million waiting for him when he leaves office,so give him a head start soon

[bignewf]

Brilliant.

Did anyone see this orange oompa-lumpa on MTP last sunday. He was asked three times if tax cuts for the rich pay for themselves ... and Boner would not answer.

He's a total ass hat.

[dacosfr66]

Usual stuff for Republican's! Keep your grubby hands off of MY MONEY! That would be them talking to the Democrats in office. Hahaha

[lp62]

$159K? "Figure is total privately funded travel over 10 years." So a rich guy (personally) spends 15K a year on traveling? It would take him over 23 years to spend what Michelle Antoinette spent in a week using PUBLIC funds.

[r22748]

OK, so when a Republican plays golf using funding from a PAC, this is wrong. But, when Michelle Obama and Charlie Rangel spend our TAX DOLLARS on junkets to France and the Caribbean, it is fine?

Justin, Epic fail on this ad, buddy. You will lose in November, too.

How about a ad that describes your position on the issues?

[integral]

@r22748 If you're going for a nonsensical comment that addresses no issues, good going.

[Skyman46]

@r22748 When brainless morons like you don't wanna tax the rich then you should pay for Michell's trip to Spain and shut the fuck up gay boy!!!!!

[r22748]

@Skyman46 I didn't say that we shouldn't tax the rich, in fact, I think that we should be taxing the rich more. Let the Bush tax cuts expire. I do wish that it didn't take an accountant to do my taxes every year.

How come my taxes keep going up and up, even in a bad economy?

What is being done to fix the economy?

How come people in CA and FL get money for their huge houses, and we don't here in Ohio?

These are the kind of issues that should be addressed.

[Skyman46]

@r22748 Unless you're income is over $250 K your taxes are less than they were under psycho boy bush...the issues that you want addressed are certainly not going to be under the management of republican party.

[RollDeep1000]

@r22748 Hahahahahahaha your funny. Stop whining and most of all stop comparing the Obama's to any member of the GOP. Have you even looked at this commercial? And have you actually followed the sources in fine print? The Mrs Obama trip is a strawman argument. What you need to do is ask yourself how a politician is able to have such a rediculously orange tan soo consistantly,,,?

[r22748]

@RollDeep1000 Yes, I did watch the commercial. It did not impress me. As a registered Democrat in SW Ohio, I will probably be voting for Boehner again this time, just because he always wins with a large margin, and Justin has just moved back in to the area.

It seemed very ironic and condescending to somehow imply that the Democrats do a better job of not playing golf and jerking off in office.

Michelle should have vacationed in Florida.

(Yeah, his tan is kinda creepy)

[joespeed87]

@r22748 what a brainless,clueless pile of shit you just said. By the way,whatever happened to people like David Vitter and John Ensign when they were caught with the pants down around the ankles? that answer is quite simple:NOTHING!!!!!!!

[r22748]

@joespeed87 What ever happened to Ted Kennedy (RIP) and Bill Clinton?

Come on, we were discussing golfing in office and wasting tax dollars, not affairs.

(You forgot Mark Sanford, another prime example of stupid politician tricks.)

Why is it OK for Michelle to take MY TAX money, and spend it on a trip?

I wish I could afford to take a trip to Europe on your dime.

How come Barack was golfing on the White House Lawn rather than attending the Polish Funeral? He didn't even visit the Embassy.

[3GPalmSprings]

@r22748 Bush Spent 487 days At Camp David, 490 days at his Texas Ranch in Crawford while two wars were raging and the economy crashed. I'm guessing he had Secret Service protection. I have no problem with a mother taking her daughter on a summer trip. Neither one are elected. They are the wife and daughter of a man and a family who receive a barrage of death threats. What would you suggest? The Secret Service watches the girls when they're at school. Please...a reality check.

[r22748]

@3GPalmSprings I would have recommended that they encourage the people of the Louisiana, Mississippi, or Florida area affected by the Gulf oil spill, and spend our tax dollars in the USA, rather than flaunting her status overseas.

But, that would have required a certain style, and Michelle certainly has not led by example during her reign. But, remember, that she has never really been proud of the USA.

[3GPalmSprings]

@r22748 sometimes it's good to have the facts in a discussion. The Obama's have planned a trip to the Gulf in August.

[r22748]

@3GPalmSprings Is that before or after the golf vacation at Martha's Vinyard?

Gee, looks like Obama is trying to break Bush's vacation days now. He already has golfed more than W did in 8 years.

Why don't we discuss jobs in Ohio, rather than trying to advertise that the other party plays too much?

I really did like Justin Coussoule's "Hamilton" ad. I would send my donation directly to him, rather than BlueAmericaPac. But, it only has 28 views, instead of the 28K views of this ad.

[k8lennon]

@r22748 give me a break when the Obama family goes somewhere ON SATURDAY the loonies call it "a vacation."  Bush had like 1/3 vacation days HOLDS THE RECORD FOR MOST VACATION OF ANY PRESIDENT IN HISTORY and the RW didn't care. Who can cforget the "i'm gonna git them terrists dead or a live now watch this swing" footage from F-911.

[r22748]

@3GPalmSprings Why wasn't she with her husband on his birthday, anyway?

[3GPalmSprings]

@r22748 now you're just being silly. This is clearly a flame thread. My apologies for throwing gas on the fire.

[stone34]

@r22748

Wait your really that upset that Michelle was NOT with her husband on his birthday?

Thats so sincere, really... you're a sweetheart. I have been so pleasantly surprised by the outpouring of the Grand Old Tea Party... and how upset they are that Michelle was NOT with her husband on his birthday. I mean that is really caring, I never realized you cared so much for Obama.

Wow, that is AWESOME!

[r22748]

@stone34 I wasn't really "upset", just surprised that she made that choice. No "Happy Birthday" for Barrack. :(

BTW, I don't really care for the tea party folks... they have issues too.

[stone34]

@r22748 I was being sarcastic. I didn't think at all you were sincere based on your other comments. It's funny to hear the lunatic fringe now all saying, oh WHY wasn't she with her husband on his birthday. As if suddenly compassion really mattered to the Grand Old Tea Party.

Michelle's been a wonderful first lady. She paid for her trip herself for the most part. Before you criticize her for travel, send a list out of every other first lady who traveled & how you were UPSET then too.

[joespeed87]

@r22748 i guess golfing in the white house is less expensive than golfing with other CEOs who are willing to pay,uh,buying your vote to keep everything the status quo. It is ironic that Obama and his family get criticized for taking vacations,but the Bush family never did. At least Obama is still working on his vacation.

[rewinn]

Take note: THIS is how you win. Democrats should do more of this stuff: smart, funny and true!

[r22748]

@rewinn People in glass houses should not throw rocks.

How about an ad that addresses the issues, rather than just another mudslinging contest? I can't believe that we will have to watch this crap on TV for the next few months. Makes me thankful for my DVR, I can skip over the rhetoric.

It is funny and true, but not smart.

[NiteSkyLookr]

Oh heck...he ain't got nothing....Obama has him beat with...

More than 50+ rounds of Golf

Eight Vacations, (3 with the oil spill going)

A Week in Spain,they won't say how much is costing taxpayers

All the countless WH parties, which does cost taxpayers

But of course we're in the middle of a recovery at 9.5% unemployment, on track for a record $1.5 Trillion deficit, record number of welfare and food stamps holders, record foreclosures, lower consumer confidence, business worried about taxes

[justineaton109]

@NiteSkyLookr How long has it been since you didn't turn anything spoken into Obama is evil? Geez.

[integral]

@NiteSkyLookr oh stop whining

[meschief]

LOVE IT!!!! ... this NEEDS to be run 24/7 over the Airways!!!!

[1fastspec1]

Are these "gifts" considered income and are they taxable?

[fred5399]

Damn I wanna be him!

[07sadida]

john boehner bumber sticker " We dont eat greens, we play on them!!" this guy is so out of touch with america, he must go!!

[AsianMen4Me]

This guy is a bum and needs to go!

[expatted]

BONER is a pretty orange colour.

[blmkrdave]

What would we do without the Tan Man? I'd like to see his bar bill too!

[BlueAmericaPac]

If you enjoy the "Priceless" Boehner ad, Blue America is trying to raise more cash to keep it on tv in OH-08. If you can spare a few bucks, every little bit helps, and everything donated on the page goes into defeating John Boehner. Not one cent for Blue Dogs and not one cent for consultants. (Google "Boehnertv" to reach "ActBlue — Boehner Belongs On TV" )

[ERICRIPPER1]

I hope the people of Ohio vote this poophead out..Please! By the way any immigrates work at your country clubs..BOZO????

[iPhoneAppsCafe]

What a Boner! Out if touch with America.

[wincekthomas]

what's with the robot voice? Jesus guys, you were so close at knocking this one out of the park. Spend the extra 200 bucks for a VO guy?

[ChildrenofSodom]

cousosuleforcongress(dot)com

SUPPORT JUSTIN!

[pkring]

Brilliant. Boner's alcohol intake and fake tanning orange skin alone should make people think twice about this Corporate Communist. He should be tarred and feathered for lying to the American People as much as he has.

[WoodyLittle]

What IS it with golf and rich, old, white guys? Yeah, there's the whole elitist /private club angle, but as a game? At least with tennis you have to work up a sweat...

Boehner is a real "man of the people," allright. People with guilty consciences who live in gated communities!

[awreslr2]

Let's hope this plays on Ohio TV stations for weeks before the election!

[Fretslayer]

Fantastic ad!

Nicely done.

And at least they didn't mention that he's a drunk.

[bignewf]

@Fretslayer and he's an odd orange color.

[turtlelucy]

@bruiser07 Ever see the Master Card commercials on tv? This is a take-off on those, and the voice on this Cousseele ad is a slightly exaggerated version of that voice. The ad is a spoof of those commercials and brilliantly conceived and executed, in my opinion.

[TheOtherWA]

Bravo, Blue America! This is a great ad.

[bruiser07]

Just one question: Why the robot like voice? I guess you don't want a clown voice doing some "Huuuuh heyyyyyyy kidsss!", but was there no normal sounding voice available?

[LolliofTheArmy]

@bruiser07 It's supposed to sound like the priceless commercials. The VO guy for that was pretty monotone as well.
