So government wasn't complicit in the economic downturn, huh? Will you also rail against the government policy that allowed all this to happen, or will you still stand there with your head in the sand as you pick and choose which side of the partisan isle makes you feel better?

I'd like to take him seriously, he does make some interesting points, thankfully he lost the debate, hopefully he'll move beyond party obstructionism, possibly I'll review his voting record. The End.

The next set of elections are crucial to the survival of the United States. And perhaps it is too late...... but if there are no shake-ups at the polls, the snowball will pick up dizzying speed.

Oh...lol

Let me know when you find some "lefty"

In the meantime, the Republican Party doesn't have a plan. I've seen Republican Party members who did have a plan...didn't always like them, don't always like the Democrat's plan either...this group - no plan.

Are you kidding? GOVERNMENT?????

Dont you know that Gubbermint is ALWAYS the answer?


man if it weren’t for government there wouldn’t even be human beings on the planet!

No the economic downturn was all about some group of "big" something or other who got in a room, smoked some cigars and decided they could make some "big" money by screwing the world economy.

It had nothing to do with government regulation requiring banks to loan money to poor people who never could pay the loans back. That did not happen!

LOL

Bohner's statement with the ant reference was recorded. Now, either he's completely out of touch with the reality of most Americans or he really believes the crash of 08' was just an 'ant'.

So....what is Obama and the liberals lying about?

It doesn't matter how many times you say it, it will be a lie every time.

Boehner offered a metaphor. You should look that up. It was not about making a comparison about the economic crisis being of no consequence. The body of his comments on the subject are very instructive.

He has said repeatedly that this is a very serious crisis and he has used the word “Crisis”. One cannot call something a crisis and then turn around and suggest it is insignificant.

However democrats (Chiefly Obama the liar) can come along and take truth and spin it into a balled faced lie for their own political gain. THAT is what Obama did.

Boehner’s POINT was that the law in question is massive overkill. It does not address the issues concerned, it just creates new forms of spending and taxation without fixing anything that is broken. His POINT is that the new rules, while not dealing directly with the one issue at hand will have ripple effects thru the whole economy causing untold damage… kind of like using a nuclear bomb to kill an ant also kills all the bees and deer and people that are near the problem you seek to solve.

Boehner is RIGHT and Obama is a liar.

But that wont convince a single liberal on this forum or anywhere else. Because the politics is vastly more important than the truth. Alinsky always wins with liberals.
