House Republican Leader John Boehner Delivers Weekly Republican Address

[AChildMolester]

John Boehner thinks he's a powerful man, leading the house majority.

Thankfully the democrats still hold the Senate so he'll be mainly limited to cleaning up problems that were ironically caused way back when the president was a red meat and potato Republican.

Of course people forget Bush the cowboy was actually a blueblooded high class aristocratic Connecticut native.

[CaptainShitWedge]

@AChildMolester shut the fuck up

[RichardE8ST]

Republicans want to keep everything the same. They dont have ideas just rhetoric. They had full control for the last 8 years and did nothing but harm to this country. Why does anyone listen to these incompetent lying neocons.

[Nepenthe070]

According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, Rep. Boustany has

received $1,256,056 from health and insurance interests since first being

elected in 2004. The total counts for more than 20 percent of all of his

fundraising.

Republicans don't "get" anything!

As long as some big business "pads" their wallets, we'll all be stuck with inferior healthcare, and a dead economy........

[pig5689]

Innocent hard-working families have a better handle on where the economy is at than dumb stock analysts, bankers, politicians, etc. Millions of families predicted things are getting worse & will continue to get worse & they are. The greedy bank execs (scum) & the greedy insurance company execs (thieves) want us to believe things are better so we go out & piss away money, take out whorehouse-loans & go back in debt. This is their solution-lie & say things are better so we'll follow like sheep.

[SmerkNomGool]

The taxpayers hand these democrat and republican parasites $175,000 a year salary, plus $500,000+ expense account, plus a $5000 year automatic pay raise to tell us the democrats did it or the republicans did it, and that he / they have a better plan.

Here's a plan for these bums. Cut their salary down to 1/4 of what it is now. Cut their expense account to 1/10 what it is now and no pay raises for 12 years. Then limit their times in office to two terms. That's 4 years. Then boot 'em.

[SmerkNomGool]

Democrats and Republicans, two sides of the same bad coin. Time for some new parties in D.C.

Out with these old self-serving control freak democrats and republicans.

Is Boehner-boy a bit, uh, boiled here?

[OldBenFranklin]

You can cut the bull, Mr Boehner. This is NOT a Republican vs Democrat issue, as you fellas want us to believe. You're like two lawyers in the courtroom. You put on good show. Afterwards, it's down to the lawyers club for a beer and a belly laugh.

Washington Dems and Repubs do the exact same thing. After the big debate, it's down to the private club for a choice beer and a belly laugh at how gullible the taxpayers are. The only difference is, the taxpayer picks up the tab for your beer.

[OldBenFranklin]

Mr. John, do you support HR1207?

[Vegetaownage]

I agree the health care proposal is dumb. But the climate bill is important because LESS RELIANCE ON OIL, easily the most important thing we need. that is #1 importance, period. But greedy repubs just want there oil money.

[SakyaNgor]

The Antichrist Obama was announced in the IL lottery

[LeadAngelWarrior]

Know this: Barack Obama is the Beast numbered 666 of the Book of Revelation, upon which rides in the Lord of Evil, The Antichrist, the greatest evil the world will ever know.

Please see my 2 fav vids.

God will prevail.

[rdelaware]

Obama has confessed to being Dick Cheney's cousin /watch?v=yvDhHuI6PhY

[FreedomsReigning]

^^^Shill account openly race baiting^^^

[polijunky]

Huh, who is this guy? I think more people would recognize him, if he wore a Whig. The painting of my great grandfather is more interesting, and fittingly both more current and more historically relevant.

[irisojects]

Its hard to know who any of the other side of the aisle is when you have Nancy, Harry,Barney and Barak fighting over the space between the teleprompter. Besides Nancy has to have right angle because the botox might not have worked.Harry is so gray he gets lost in the back ground , Barney's spittle-well would you want to stand in front of him and Barak might have had a cig. Breath mint anyone?

[polijunky]

That's witty. Too bad no one will read it since exactly no one but his family care what what's-his-name in the video has to say. Actually, what's-his-name isn't a good title, since it implies people know his face. Let's call him Casper, haunting the web with his rattling about a long since dead political party.

[aeuiono]

You're a racist.

[polijunky]

LOL I'm a racist? Exactly how is that? Because I said Casper? Funny that the first thing you thought of is race (not, you know, GHOSTS which is the reference). BTW I'm white. And was in no way talking about race. The question is why are YOU so caught up thinking about race?

[antimarxism]

Why wouldn't we be conditioned to "think about race"? Most of us have to live, work and deal with affirmative action every day.

You wouldn't be affected by this because you've probably gotten by so far by mooching off my tax dollars.

Go back to Starbucks and think before you type another moronic response on your iPHone.

[polijunky]

LOL says the person with a channel full of videos speaking about race. If you hear about a cartoon ghost, and it reminds you of affirmative action, then you're pretty well off your rocker. And if I have an IPhone and go to Starbucks, I couldn't be "mooching off your tax dollars" -- ya, friggin' idiot. Though again, the point would be that this video might as well have never been made, since Obama shook hands with more people yesterday than are in the Republican party.

[antimarxism]

"And if I have an IPhone and go to Starbucks, I couldn't be "mooching off your tax dollars""

?

[polijunky]

If I were "mooching off your tax dollars," I couldn't pay for those items. Man, you are thick. No wonder you're a humorless Republican. I'm sick of speaking to ghosts clinging to a dead party. You can continue with the five Republicans left in whatever state you live in. Because I, and the rest of the nation, are done with you.

[antimarxism]

"If I were "mooching off your tax dollars," I couldn't pay for those items."

That makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Now I'm starting to think you are about 8 yrs old.

[antimarxism]

"Obama shook hands with more people yesterday than are in the Republican party. "

Obama shook hands with more than 31% of Americans?

Are you high, or just an idiot?

[polijunky]

A) I forgot, Republicans don't get jokes. I'll refrain from them in the future (as long as there are still Republicans to joke around with -- which is probably t-minus five years).

B) That 31% means you are adding leaners (which puts Dems cover 50%). So, yeah that's close. You can certainly have a national party with 21% of the vote. That is until the Libertarians come and finish off the corpse (as I said, in about five years, if that).

[antimarxism]

If you knew how to tell or write a 'joke", then people would find humor in it. But perhaps they go over great in elementary school.

[AAL]

I thought Elephants never forgot? Seem all they do is forget.

[thetimman00]

John Boehner, you should have stood up and talked for four days on the energy bill tyranny.

[FreedomsReigning]

Good thing the republicans didn't have to go bipartisan on Cap and Trade. Now they can mug to the cameras and pretend that they are protecting the people.

[Blues1956]

The Republican's policies got us into this mess. Who in their right mind is going to take them serious? People that think FOX news is the truth?

[aeuiono]

When did Barney Frank and Chris Dodd become Republicans?

[MarkG45]

Since when have Republicans given a rat's ass about small businesses? Every time I turn on the tv, they are spouting the talking points of whoever lobbied them the most. That goes for healthcare, foreign oil, and coal factories.

Since when has the Republican party EVER offer a solution for our current problems?

[andrewh23]

Another independent report, financed by Fox News, claims that 90% of people in the US will die if healthcare reform is attempted. Do you want 90% of the country to die? I didn't think so.

[andrewh23]

Most of the stimulus money won't be spent until next year.

[deftech79]

You can't spell it out any better than that. The press can't cover up these failed policies forever. It's time for Americans to wake up, claim responsibility for their freedom, and stop expecting big government to make everything okay.

[irisojects]

This is where we are. We have a cap and trade bill which simply means we are going to trade"soot" futures. Guess who gets rich? Al Gore and GE. We have nationalized health care if the progressives in D.C. have their way. Congress will still have their fantastic care. Look they have kept Teddy alive. Barney AIDS free and Nancy in a new face every year. Now that is good health care. We the People will be lucky to get a band aide and a mercury laden light bulb. What a swell deal!

[EOD7RET]

Concur!! what is mind bogling is American Citizens don't see there Liberty be stolen from them.

[irisojects]

EOD7RET America has taken its liberty as right not as a privilege. They have forgot that many have sacrificed their precious patriots blood . You are right it is being stolen from us. In the back rooms of D.C. and in the murky world of the power brokers that operate on Wall St. We are at a cross roads. It will take a Pearl Harbor 9/11 event for America to get off the couch. I think we have already had that event. Some of us just saw it others just went back to sleep.

[EOD7RET]

Well said again!! Wake Up America while you still have a chance!!

[kb3mkd]

davehab1 some people are trying to drive solutions that actually work, but are getting blocked out. status quo is not good, state run solutions are far worse

[malezgerd]

booooring...

[CidJacobs]

I would like to see a plan that encourage-s, you actually coming up with a plan instead of bashing other peoples work. A plan that encourage-s republicans to actually come up with suggestions on how to fix problems instead of attacking democrats for trying to fix them.

[davehab1]

Come on John, give us some ideas, not the same old we got to keep status quo.

[LiberalshateAmerica]

davehab1- Hey here is a good idea. You buy my health care under the obama plan and I will buy a new BMW with the money I save every month!

[micsc50]

He did! quit spending and borrowing

[hlssmat]

No, you can criticize them because it's America where we have Freedom of speech.

[aeuiono]

Spend less. Tax less. This will stimulate the business sector and begin to generate wealth.

Do not create unsustainable Ponzi-schemes like ObamaCare. Stop mandating untested green-tech. Allow natural progress.

Be open and good to our foreign allies, be cautious and brutal to our foreign enemies.

Allow failing big businesses to go bankrupt. Every time someone says "X is too big to fail", it means the rest of us schmucks are too small to succeed.

Get rid of undemocratic czars.

[irisojects]

aeuiono This group of politicians currently in office do not want the simple truth you speak. They want to muck it up. Its like putting us all on the merry-go-round and giving us a spin. After you step off who the hell know which direction is what. I want off and I want them to stop the spinning. Every point you make is simple and the exact truth. Unfortunately it is easier to believe a lie and a lot of Americans have bought in to it.

[andrewh23]

They just did.  They do all the time.

[imstillworkin]

The Republicans have offered an alternative to every one of the Democrat's plans. Your lack of attention to detail is astounding. No wonder Obama got elected.

[imstillworkin]

If you really want to be an informed voter, I recommend watching C-Span. You'll get an inside view of our government and be free to form your own opinion based on what you see. You can watch videos on their website. The video of the cap and trade bill should give you a lot of insight as to what is really going on. You'll probably find it quite entertaining as well.

[aeuiono]

Both parties lie, that's their job. They present spin. You shouldn't start by favoring one party or the other.

Instead, look into the philosophies behind the movements. Read Hayek vs Marx. Read Mark Levin vs Al Franken. Read the founders' writings. Understand the divide between individualism (right-wing) and collectivism (left-wing).

Next, subscribe to blogs: HotAir vs DailyKos, for example. Learn to recognize spin from both sides.

[irisojects]

Yes both parties lie. Truth. The problem is the party in power has a responsibility to EVERY person in this country regardless of their own petty ambitions. The Constitution is the LAW. Not the party's plank . We are being looted and mooched off of by the politicians. I have had enough. Have you? That is simple question.

[aeuiono]

Yes, I've had enough.

But in order to stop them, the key thing we need is organization.

[golfballs03]

People need to get mad! Good points, John... work on the delivery though...

[irisojects]

golfballs03 Mad is not even the word it is furious.The House leadership sneaks in 300 pages more on this bill @ 3AM and no one really understands all the provisions. It smacks of treason in the halls of government. They can not cut the American people out of the legislative process and not expect some serious blow back.
