Boehner is a bozo.  Republicans hire bozos that will parrot the Republican conservative rhetoric, which is all that is required.

From what he is quoted as saying and doing I’d say John Boehner is a total bozo.. But he keeps getting elected, right? So what do I know..

I’ll pass on this observation that I’ve made in the computer, cyber environment… my E-mail clients, net browsers and word processors universally reject ‘Obama’ as a real word, I have to add our President to their dictionaries! Most do like ‘Boehner’..

Ain’t it a wonderful world!?

Adios.

I think Boehner has this figured out for himself. He knows nobody takes him serious, but he can have the power if his side does all the work to get him there. If not he is covering himself by tanning to the point of appearance being as close to black or middle eastern as he can. In his mind this gives the appearance that he can relate. Just that nobody still knows to what. I wish him 24 hours by himself in the ghetto so he can-get it.

Ah, yes, his salon-tanned skin.  NIce that he can afford such
luxury?  And by his promise to keep Wall Streeters such luxuries
I don’t doubt.

Just remember that old grammar rhyme from grade school, “When two vowels go a-walkin’, the first one does the talkin’” when you think of Boehner.  He’s a bone head; a snake of a man looking out for his own skin.

gerard:

All that nastiness and you’re worried about insulting Kim Jong Il. Some priorities you have there.

Republican attitudes toward “the general welfare” are now largely destructive.  Up with corporate power; down with the ordinary jerk who doesn’t “deserve” to thrive. Down with corporate regulations, anti-pollution demands, and “level playing fields.” Corporate crime?  Look the other way as quickly as possible.

Republican attitudes toward “the common defense” are largely based on hysteria—the belief that we have many enemies and must fight them off. Be afraid.  Besides,war is one way to keep the economy functioning, so what the heck?  Keep a good thing when you have it. 

Republicans, in a crunch, are more willing to “provide for the common defense” (even if it isn’t really working well) than to “promote the general welfare (even when it is slipping below the poverty level and people are losing homes, jobs and hope).

As to “securing the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity”—forget it, say Republicans, who are at present looking no farther than to the end of their noses, which is the next election and how to get rid of Obama and get a white man in there a.s.a.p. Corporate-controlled media no longer permit debate and difference of opinion, and public discussion is narrowly focussed on the promotion of reactionary conservatism.

If the Democrats can’t expose this dim-witted view for what it is, how come?  What has happened to our core beliefs in the rights of man (and woman)(and child)?

“There are times when I flirt with the notion that the country would be better off with divided government.”

Also sprache fraulein Marcus. Obviously no student of the Constitution or the Federalist Papers! Otherwise she would understand that THAT VERY CONCEPT is what the founders desired! (See “separation of powers” and the Tenth Amendment.)

MarthaA:

Oh, jeez. There you go with “populace” again. Four times! Stop it!

And how does Boehner’s bumper-sticker approach differ from the left’s “BBBush-ChChCheney-RRRove” Tourettes Syndrome outbursts?

Bumper sticker politics is an effective method because people are too lazy or busy to think things through.

Even though I am not a Dem, I would recommend that they start fighting back using the same tactic.  I would rather see them win in November than lose.  As lame as they are they will move us incrementally closer to where I think we need to be.

MarthaA –I do not essentially disagree with you and will be doing
everything I can to get more Democrats who are concerned about
the welfare of the common populac elected (I consider being
concerned with the environment as being included with concern
about the welfare of the common populace).  But who are the
Autocratic Conservatives on the Left?  And what Democratic Liberals
would even dream of being on the right?  That does not make sense. 
It isn’t a question of permission is it? If there are Autocratic
Conservatives on the Left that does not make sense either and they
should be so branded publicly if they are. So who are these guys?
Isn’t there some ideology involved?

I am reposting here a paragraph I posted on the new They Go or
Obama Goes forum that also seems relevant on this forum:
If you do not want the Republican Party to rule this country, it is your
responsibility to do something to stop them.  You must be vocal, you ?
must spread the word, you must defend your right to whatever
resources are there for your and everyone’s good, and you must PAY to
stop them.  I don’t know exactly how you would do that except to
recommend that you join a grass roots organization and seriously get
involved.  At the ?same time we do not want to violate our own belief in
justice and ?freedom that are imperative for a civilized society.  We must
not be ?reduced to savagery ourselves.  So I do not endorse violent
anarchic ?revolution!  This must be done with evolved humanized action,
?otherwise ultimately we lose and they win.

Simply a veiled effort to sustain “trickle up”.

Republican methods since Newt has been to lie, simply lie about those things that scare people. Even if proven liars, Republicans continue because they have enough right-wing media sources to repeat and embellish the lie. Besides that the corporate media knowingly repeats the idiot stories begun by dim and dishonest politicians like Boehner.

Government is divided between the Conservative Right corporations and AUTOCRATIC elite and the Liberal Left DEMOCRATIC American Common Populace, and having Right-Wing REPUBLICANS in control means total economic irresponsibility to the Liberal Left American Common Populace,  as happened during the Bush administration and has been in every Right-Wing REPUBLICAN or Conservative Democrat administration since Reagan; there are no DEMOCRATIC Liberals allowed on the Right whatsoever, but there are AUTOCRATIC Conservatives on the Left which makes the AUTOCRATIC Conservatism on the Left along with all the AUTOCRATIC Conservatism on the Right, tilt the political scale toooooo far to the Right AWAY from democracy; only DEMOCRATIC Liberal Democrats will seek balance.  You know them by their fruits, not by their words.  NO REPUBLICAN EVER VOTES FOR ANYTHING BENEFICIAL TO THE COMMON POPULACE unless there is a quid pro quo.

The last thing the United States needs is more AUTOCRATIC Conservatives or more AUTOCRATIC REPUBLICANS. There must be balance between DEMOCRATIC Liberals and AUTOCRATIC Conservatism, but there is not, as AUTOCRATIC Conservatism through Conservative propaganda in all forms of the media and the school system has taken political balance too far to the Right for our nation to be DEMOCRATICALLY healthy, the nation’s Acid/Alkaline Ph is out of balance and there must be a DEMOCRATIC Liberal Alkaline balance for all the AUTOCRATIC Conservative Acid, which will NEVER come from any Right-Wing Conservative REPUBLICAN that caused the AUTOCRATIC acid problem in the first place by having too much control, as the budget was balanced before the Bush administration took control for eight long years and the people have had ENOUGH; there is no way people are going to be foolish enough to ask for more of the AUTOCRATIC REPUBLICAN DOCTRINE, since our nation is just now trying to get out of the mess brought on by AUTOCRATIC Right-Wing REPUBLICANS and AUTOCRATIC Conservatives.

Our nation needs to get more DEMOCRATIC Liberals into office that are concerned about the welfare of the common populace and the environment, which is NEVER an AUTOCRATIC REPUBLICAN forte.
