Obama Wars Title: Boehner: 'End of the Obama Agenda' Boehner: 'End of Obama agenda' By: Meredith Shiner January 18, 2010 11:22 AM EST House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) predicted “the end of the Obama agenda” if health care reform does not pass — and he says Massachusetts can help usher in this demise by supporting Republican Scott Brown. "If this health care reform bill doesn't pass, it is the end of the Obama agenda," Boehner told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday morning. "It's pretty clear that they're going to use every trick imaginable ... to shove this down the throats of the American people." Boehner, who has contributed to Brown’s campaign, said he is hopeful for a victory Tuesday in the traditional Democratic stronghold but wary that congressional leadership will push the health care bill regardless of the electoral results. On the eve of the special election, Boehner called Brown a "great candidate with a real chance to win," yet the minority leader was in lockstep with his party's message when he framed the election as more of a repudiation of the Democrats than a statement on the candidate himself. "I have no doubt that the people of Massachusetts are looking at this race as a way to send Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama a message to stop this spending," Boehner said. "We can continue to put pressure on them, exploit those differences and bring this bill down. "This is not about political points," Boehner continued. "Our members are adamantly opposed to the government taking over control of our health system." Boehner also spoke Monday about responding to the devastation in Haiti, saying that the United States should not grant amnesty to Haitian illegal immigrants currently residing in America. "Our hearts go out to the people of Haiti, but we need to help them there," Boehner said of providing temporary protected status to Haitians. "I don't understand. That has nothing to do with trying to help the people of Haiti during this tragedy. It looked like a convenient way to be compassionate."

#16. To: Quatermass (#3) You'll neVer get a BoyBlunderbuss to admit that their own description eventually turned against them. You will never get a BoyBlunderbuss to admit that the entirity of the reason for throwing 4000+ American lives into the Iraq meat grinder was a lie. You'll never get a BoyBlunderbuss to admit that they were with the BoyBlunder the entire time. They are almost all falling back on the old and tired "The only reason that I voted for him was because Gore and Kerry would have been worse." We watched as America was first attacked and then Iraq, Afghanistan, our economy and several other items of import WHOLLY and COMPLETELY imploded on that moron's watch. My question to each of these assholes is HOW IN THE FUCK COULD THEY HAVE BEEN ANY "WORSE"?
#18. To: war (#16) War, i proudly admit I supported Bush through his entire Presidency because he was dead on right and honest unlike the phony ass nigger we have now that you wax your carrot to each night. Things didn't go to s**t until your fellow faggot Dims got Congress and the American public is waking up to what dumbasses they were for buying into your bulls**t. No Bush supporter would genuinely call themselvls bushbot, because like neocon, it's a made up bulls**t derogatory term.
#19. To: padlock (#18) Fuck off padlock...
