John Boehner: I Stand With WI Gov. Scott Walker
Evan McMorris-Santoro | February 17, 2011, 3:43PM

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."

1. hey, orangeman, why don't YOU lead? as in, everyone who enables and supports you and your ilk,

right over the cliff over which you are trying to send the rest of us.

may you, and all your supporters and enablers, and fellow travelers, receive everything you deserve.

[kickysnana]

2. Good, if he is in Wisconsin he can't do as much damage. n/t

[HereSince1628]

3. Good. Please don't ask for help on the way down.

[dhill926]

4. ok orange one......

bring it the fuck on.......

[BanzaiBonnie]

5. And there it is...

They want to desroy the unions. The last best hopes for this country are pinned on the unions.

[NeoConsSuck]

25. If unions disappear, so does the middle class

The middle class owes a debt to the unions, without them there would be no middle class.

But the pukes want the middle class to disappear, so we can have a Mexican economy of the Have Mores and the dirt poor.

[tanyev]

6. So be it.

[Blue Owl]

7. Leave it to Boener to dick the people over

n/t

[madmom]

21. lol I read that quickly as "leave it to Beaver" maybe Freudian?

[onethatcares]

8. this supposed "man" wants an adult conversation

then I suggest he grow up and realize that it's been the wealthy that have been sucking on the system for what seems like forever.

Oh, I forgot, he's one of them, why would he care about the peons.

[RC]

9. Why do I have so much trouble wrapping my head around thinking like this?

Maybe it is because I comprehend the Constitution better than these guys?

[AsahinaKimi]

10. I am betting John Boehner

Has no clue whats going on in Wisconsin. My guess he's probably thinking what bar he wants to sit in later.

[fascisthunter]

11. Good... say good bye to your political career

[Plucketeer]

12. Dear John...

it's time you went back to sweeping bar room floors again. You've lost touch with reality. The corporate masters that twiddle your strings are making you say things inconsistant with what truths you may have learned when you worked in something other than a suit and tie. I'm hoping there's an Egyptian Moment in DC right soon - with your eventual exile to some corporate paradise. It's coming, Orangy. It's coming. :grr:

[earcandle]

13. Losing Ground-Xtal "They are the ones who get ignored"

Losing Ground

"If the first shall be last
and the last shall be first
do the ones in the middle
just get bored?

DO they have to change their seat?
Is their station incomplete?
Are they the ones who get ignored
Are they the ones who get ignored

Well, I had a talk with god
and I found him rather odd
He's such a quiet guy.

You would think in all this time
he'd come up with one good line
Just to show you that he tried
Just to show you that he tried
Just to show you
Just to show you

If the devil wants your soul
And you owe it to him whole
Just say his shoe's untied
You'd be amazed at how well it works
As he's staring at the dirt
And you may never die.
And you may never die.
And you may never die."

14. Yeah, riiighhht. And Boner wants to shut down the federal government

because he can't control his own caucus.

Hey, Boner. Get your own house in order before trying to divert attention away from you to Walker Mubarak of Wisconsin. Please note that it is your boy Ryan who is comparing Wisconsin to Egypt.

For once I agree with a repugnant. Ryan is right when he compares Walker to Mubarek.

[nolabear]

15. I am loving this. The poeple are actually getting up and fighting

and the right-wingers have to side against them.

[cloudbase]

16. That's good.

Soon, everybody will have to choose a side. Money won't overcome numbers.

[Historic NY]

17. The unions should start a few town halls sessions.....

[benld74]

18. How's the lady friends Boener? THought U stood next to them too!

[golddigger]

19. Boner couldn't lead a Boy scout troop to the latrine.

[maxrandb]

31. As we say in the Navy

Boehner couldn't lead an air-bubble to the surface.

[sulphurdunn]

20. Of course Boehener supports him.

Pig fucking rat bastards always support each other. Power to the People!:patriot:

[lib2DaBone]

22. Conservatism is a mental illness... Boehner is sick like all Repukes...

Why do Republicans want to hurt all those around them?

[shanti]

30. because it's all about them

n/t

[PatrynXX]

23. So what happened to listening to the people?

These are bigger than the mini tea party protests.

[perdita9]

24. Shared Sacrifice My @$$!

Boehner went to the wall to protect tax breaks for millionaires but he's first in line when it comes to kicking people who work for a living.

[yellowcanine]

26. Boehner is trying to salvage a bad two weeks in Congress. He seems to be losing it.

He refuses to take any responsibility for correcting misinformation about Obama's birthplace among Republicans but yet he thinks Obama should be telling state employees in Wisconsin that they should not engage in lawful exercise of their right of free speech.

[classysassy]

27. Greed instead of need

The Republicans and their wealthy sponsors are out to destroy the Unions and the middle class.

[Betty]

28. eat shit, boner

no one cares and no one is surprised to hear that coming from a fascist like you.

[plumbob]

29. Good! Now I KNOW I'M on the right side. AGAINST

Boner and Weaker.

I'm writing down names for later...
