Boehner comment on stimulus package

[Fresh_Start]

"The sooner we get this relief in the hands of the American people, the sooner they can begin to do their job of being good consumers," Boehner said.

1. Jawol, Herr Boehner!

To hear is to obey!

[Fresh_Start]

2. "do their job of being good consumers"

I've frequently believed that the GOP loved America primarily because of its consumer market. It doesn't care about the people, the land, the children, the future - just the pocketbook.

[Kutjara]

6. Exactly.

We are of value to the precise extent that we consume. No more, no less. Our freedom is the freedom to buy (and even this is being curtailed with "license agreements" and restrictive terms & conditions.) All choice, whether social, economic, or political has been reduced to "Coke or Pepsi?"

As a modern Descartes might say, "I buy therefore I am."

[Stand and Fight]

3. "Good little consumers..."

I threw up reading that. How they love the sheeple...

[Fresh_Start]

4. thats the part of it that got me as well

do their job of being good consumers

[Iris]

9. yep. And no one seems to get upset about it.

They just want to know when their check is coming.

12. We should all run out to the tanning salon..

maybe get a massage while we're at it...that's what the boner would do.

[Stand and Fight]

20. What about the spirits? He'd definitely imbibe some of those! n/t

[ProgressiveFool]

5. I don't think Boner really needs any more stimulation

Why do you think he's always weeping?

[walldude]

7. There was a good thread on his comment earlier today

It makes you just want to slap the shit out of him doesn't it? They don't even see us as people anymore.

Feel Like A Number

I take my card and I stand in line
To make a buck I work overtime
Dear sir letters keep coming in the mail
I work my back till its racked with pain
The boss cant even recall my name
I show up late and Im docked
It never fails
I feel like just another
Spoke in a great big wheel
Like a tiny blade of grass
In a great big field
To workers Im just another drone
To ma bell Im just another phone
Im just another statistic on a sheet
To teachers Im just another child
To irs Im just another file
Im just another consensus on the street
Gonna cruise out of this city
Head down to the sea
Gonna shout out at the ocean
Hey its me
And I feel like a number
Feel like a number
Feel like a stranger
A stranger in this land
I feel like a number
Im not a number
Im not a number
Dammit Im a man
I said Im a man

13. I imagine if he had it his way

we'd just get vouchers for Walmart.

[rucky]

14. You said "Boehner" and "stimulus" in the same headline.

Good Show!

Would this be manual relief, Boehner? How much should we expect to spend?

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

15. The Boner "package" is limp - no amount of stimulus will help

"...The sooner we get this relief in the hands of the American people..."


To Boner, it may be a source of relief. But I don't think the American people want that in their hands.

[wtmusic]

16. How the hell is his name pronounced anyway?

Someone on CNN said "Baner". Surely they jest.

[Binka]

21. When Two Vowels Go WalkingThe First One Does The Talking

It is pronunced BONE-ER. CNN is BULLSHIT.

[spanone]

17. pompous ass

[MiniMe]

18. Was he crying when he said it?

Or was it before lunch?

[Atman]

19. The Boner Stimulus Package?

It'd never sell in the flyover states.

22. What a fucknut.

Our household will not be "consuming" anything. It'll go straight into the bank as a cd.
