John Boehner: I Stand With WI Gov. Scott Walker

[nadinbrzezinski]

House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) is watching events in Wisconsin, and he's come to this conclusion: the thousands of union workers packing the Capitol are wrong and the governor is right.

In a statement to reporters this afternoon, Bohener said that Walker's plan to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin teacher, nurses and other workers is just the kind of thing Boehner's majority is trying to accomplish in Washington.

"Republicans in Congress - and reform-minded GOP governors like Scott Walker, John Kasich and Chris Christie - are daring to speak the truth about the dire fiscal challenges Americans face at all levels of government, and daring to commit themselves to solutions that will liberate our economy and help put our citizens on a path to prosperity," Boehner said.

The Speaker ripped President Obama for his words of support for the protesters, and called on him to "lead."

Keep talking, you want back to gilded age. Well guess what? People will fight back. I am sure that is shocking to you guys, but people will fight. This is the fight of OUR generation and you are an enemy of the middle class, a true enemy of the middle class. (or in fact the working classes)

Maybe we'll come for you after we get done with Scott Mubarak.

3. Sir John of Orange hearts feudalism.

4. Would you really expect anything different?

We need to stop expecting anything constructive from the right.

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. Nope, but at this point it comes to shining light

on these people

the Orabge Revolution.

This guy hates jobs and there will be a backlash. But I worry about their replacements.... Clinton Republicans will not help at all.

11. It is this kind of crap that will give Democrats their power back!

The GOP is making decisions that will give us a clear victory in 2012.

Now - we need the Democrats in Congress to STEP UP AND START SPEAKING - LOUD AND STRONG. Lead us, organize us, Seize the Moment.

Thank you Wisconsin for leading the way, this is what we need to stir Democrats. What they try to divide will bind us together ever more strongly.

Bring it on GOP - you have NO idea what you have just unleashed.

Shine on,
Annette

15. ...and I will fall with him.

16. Where are the fucking jobs, Boehner?

Last time I heard you, you were kevetching about abortions.

[RandomKoolzip]

17. Good - tie him to his words.

When public opinion turns in favor of the protesters, Boehner will end up looking like the weepy alcoholic asshole he is.

[July]

21. The funny thing is that he thinks he looks bold.

And daring.

In fact, he, Walker, Christie, et al. are big-mouthed bullies who think they look like heroes when they push people around. If they knew anything about being daring, they would see how small they look next to people who actually do their jobs.

"Weepy alcoholic asshole" works for me.

[Atman]

18. "He's got a tanning bed and a bar in his basement!"

Boner won't be standing for long, though. He'll be face-down in the cheese dip before you can say "crybaby."

19. What a dick

Would you honestly expect anything less from a greedy, self-absorbed tool?

[elmerdem]

20. Sweet!

That should help with his reelection bid. :sarcasm:

22. Fine, go stand in the crowd you big orange coward.

We'll see just how long you last.

23. What a Boehn head. He'll get his.

[Botany]

24. You do that Boner.

[malaise]

25. ReTHUGS have now publicly stated that they are against unions

Is It Fascism Yet?

Boeher said that Walker's plan to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of Wisconsin teacher, nurses and other workers is just the kind of thing Boehner's majority is trying to accomplish in Washington.

[upi402]

26. Christie & Walker are like Mussolini

They bust unions/workers for corporatism (fascism) and claim they just need to make trains run on time.
Yeah right, history, repeat.

[NutmegYankee]

27. No surprise.

The speaker is one of the leaders in the war against the middle class.

[lunatica]

28. I think boner has foot in mouth syndrome big time

and we should give him all the rope he wants

[AsahinaKimi]

29. He probably doesn't have a clue of whats going on in WI

He'll probably spend the rest of the night in a Bar...

30. the only thing you stand with is bar stool, Weeper of the House!

Isn't time for your orange touch up paint job and your afternoon bottle, you drunk!
