Boehner is just one of the Republican miscreants.

Stick it, Boehner. Your lies got the GOP exactly what it asked for: a good fight.
And the good fight—was won.

He is such a ninny in every respect

In the first 3 minutes of his tantrum, Mr Boehner criticizes the bill by saying people won’t be able to keep their current health plans, that it weakens medicare and includes tax-payer funded abortions. Then he follows by saying no one has read it.

If no one has read it, as Mr Boehner admits he hasn’t, how the hell can he rail against what’s in it?

I have on interest in what the Federsl Republicans have to say.  Once they work out their talking points with Limbaugh and Fox “News” they never waver. For this issue, that was more than a year ago. Everything they say is fantasy and its plain boring.

Boehner is a jack assed Republican.  In the 6 years that they controlled the House and Senate, what did they do?  Nothing - Republicans - the party of no and the party of nothing - especially between the ears.

I echo your sentiments Ardee. My hope is that it is now not too late for single payer. The longer we wait the less likely that it will happen. In just another decade we will be in too much debt, the nation will be polarized even more, and the likelyhood of a socialized democracy in america will be as dead as the Dodo.

CaptRon, We here in Pa feel for you. For it was we who posessed the biggest fascist asshole in DC for a few years in the spectre that was Rick Santorum. But I, like most americans cringe every time a word leaves the mouth of the idiot Boehner. Has the tanning bed and skin bronzer rotted his brain and corrupted his soul? Or did he just come that way?

Of course both sides,as represented by Boehner and Pelosi, are partially correct. The Bill ( or now is it to be referred to as Law?) is flawed and delays even a modicum of impact for years to come. But it does contain the germ of a reform.

While thousands die each year without care or having been denied by the care they thought they had our legislature couldnt pass a decent bill that took effect immediately.

This “reform” bill or law, is no real reform at all. It is a sop to the continued and escalating profit of our insurance industry. It continues a health care system that has proven itself inept and far, far too expensive. The “fixes” to which Pelosi spoke do exist, but how long is a good question, and how much they do to repair the broken system is questionable at best.

I hope that single payer will be the issue that refuses to die.

John, John, John. Was that your attempt at Obama motivation or was it paranoia? Can you feel the veil of doom about to drop on your career? That’s the trouble with being a leader, and a arrogant and clueless politician. When you realize what you did to yourself you start cussing everybody else out. Couldn’t have been you could it? It was the best speech that I ever heard you orate. It was so REAL and revealing of your ego. Can you feel all of the finger pointing at you from your constituents already? Doesn’t matter that it wasn’t just you, but somebody has to take the blame and they know you won’t, and you wouldn’t. I watched you at the meeting with Obama and both party leaders. It was clear to me you were in way over your head, but you knew how to take the credit. It was your eyes in the headlights look when Obama, or anyone who gets what you don’t confronts you, that gave you away. That, and the voice tone difference and the lack of retoric. Kind of like the gang of guys beating up on someone weaker where you stand back so he can take the credit when the fight is over but never through a punch unless the guy wasn’t looking or was being held by the others while you did. Good luck with your career John, I would miss you. I always knew where you stood and how the argument was going by watching you. If you weren’t out front, you were losing. If you were, somebody else from your side had the right idea. That’s what leadership is all about in your world and your leadership was predictable. Alas poor John, we knew yee well.
