BOEHNER: Freedom - economic freedom - gave me the opportunities I needed to succeed. But the economic freedom I enjoyed is under assault. The 'stimulus' was the opening salvo. It was supposed to be focused on 'jobs, jobs, jobs.' It was supposed to be 40 percent tax relief. But in the hands of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid, it became a gravy train for left-wing pork."

Common sense simply isn't cool. He's not slick, he isn't race baiting, just pointing out the obvious; how do you vote on a bill you haven't read that supplies money to ACORN and LA RAZA but robs inner city kids of a sound education?

Everything this man says is 100% true and valid, but dammit the Republicans really need to put forth some impressive, charismatic speakers with fire and passion if they're going to defeat these socialist bastards in the White House. This country is currently besotted with style (which is why they elected Obama) yet Republicans always promote wooden speakers who choke words, sway from side to side, make stiff arm movements, sway from side to side and show no real passion. Big mistake!

A very BAD case of the shits is SMARTER than John Boehner.

He's one of the main reasons why RepubliCONs lost 55 US Senate & House Seats over a 2 year period. What a dumb-shit!

Obama's ties with Ayers = 0 Dead

W's ties/lies with Iraq = 4250+ Dead (& hundreds of BILLION$ spent unnecessarily)

The Iraq/Iran war lasted 8 yrs because Saddam was tougher and meaner than this new Prime Minister. Iran will invade Iraq faster than the US can pullout. The Americans and Iraqis will cry out for Bush, especially the troops left behind for Iran's massacring invasion of Iraq.

[sadieaugust]

Obama also said a sizable U.S. force of 35,000 to 50,000 U.S. troops will stay in Iraq longer under a new mission of training, civilian protection and counter terrorism.

This is not a withdrawal, we are leaving up to a 1/3 of our troops behind.

So,Obama lied to you again & we will more likely end up staying in Iraq forever. Except this time, when Iran attacks Iraq, your Obama drafted smart ass Children's eyes will only be opened when they are "Dead Eyes" in a war zone in Iraq. CHANGE?

Does Cpac qualify as a hate group? Right Wing dead-enders at thier confernces. Perfect choice for leardership Coulter, Limbaugh, Steele,Palin, Kindal and Joe the Plumber. Keep up the good work (Fools)

[macindrew]

yes, but money doesn't go directly to Acorn... they have to apply & compete for funds like anyone other organization.

Acorn does a lot of good in communities, so hopefully they'll get some.

Conservatives, Please watch all three of these videos from Boehner at CPAC 2009. This is the beginning of reason in this crazy environment and we have to regain our balance and our message. The quote from Reagan was timeless. We cannot forget those words. Raise up the banner to which those who are of like mind can rally! Its time to RALLY, to FIGHT and to take a few pages from the ACORN playbook! Tea Party anyone

[mustangdale2001]

The bill wont mention acorn by name. Search for money going to community organization groups or things like that.

Boehner must of "found Jesus" after he voted and championed the 700 billion dollar bailout. Glad to see he has principles.

[Aerialbomb]

What line in the bill gives the money to ACORN? You can search for the word ACORN too, I couldn't find it.
