Republican Minority Leader John Boehner explains why he handed out bribes on the House floor

Republican minority leader admits that he handed out tobacco industry bribes on the floor of the House of Representatives in order to secure subsidies for an industry that kills 443,000 Americans every year.
Even his fellow Republicans are shocked.
Bonehner feels kinda bad about it.
Now he's complains that the Democratic party is loading up the stimulus bill with "pork".

GOD DAMN YOU LIBERALS AND YOUR FACTS

"... it's a practice we're trying to stop-" I had to pause the video right there. Imagine this:

"Well, yes sir, people- myself included -do steal from the cash register. It's a practice we're trying to stop."

Fuck politics.

1:16....is that smoke coming from Boehners desk ?

[Citizen Observer]

I love it when people automatically smear both parties in order to try to protect the Republicans.

Libertarianism is nothing but the door through which fascism will takeover and re-enslave everyone who isn't in the 2%. WAKE UP!

[Kevin G]

And yet you idiots think that Democrats dont ever do anything like this. Vote Libertarian if you ever want actual changes.

Rep. Linda Smith is no longer in Congress. Rep. Steve Largent is no longer in Congress. Both Republicans shocked at finding "business as usual." Both shown the door by the likes of Rep. John Boehner who, as he said, broke no laws. That is how corrupt government is, bribery is legal. That is how corrupt the Republican Party is, ethical newcomers are eliminated. The Democrats? They got checks or ignored what was going on (let's not pretend no one else noticed). This is our government.

congress has been bought and paid for

[PAULREVERENOW]

This needs to be re uploaded, we need to get this crook out of our govt

[David Maher]

Huh? Look at it from another angle. Why don't the government just buy a carton for each check they send out, you know, VA checks, welfare, social security, civilian and military pensions. Also let tobacco be given like comodities and then consider tobacco a food. That way, people will not live as long, Cardio and Respiratory surgeons will get rich. You know, that "trickle down thing",

[dubhippy]

how about fakesnews suing Jane Akre and WINNING the right to effing LIE all they want? that's right, the liars crushed the truth, in court.

how about Turzai getting caught on camera boasting that voter ID laws are there just to benefit republicans?

when the revolution comes, take out CEOs & lobbyists first. i call dibbs on murdoch!

[markweeg]
