Boehner says Obama's bills makes him 'want to throw up'
Says administration has 'no plan to keep America safe'

By Kara Rowland (Contact) | Wednesday, April 29, 2009


The top House Republican said Tuesday that the liberal bills being pushed by President Obama and congressional Democrats make him "want to throw up" and that Mr. Obama's first 100 days in office have shown he has "no plan for keeping America safe."

Minority Leader John A. Boehner of Ohio said in an interview that decisions such as closing Guantanamo Bay prison and releasing classified memos on CIA interrogation techniques reflect a dangerous, "piecemeal approach" to national security.

"I'm just looking at some of these tactical moves that they've made, and I don't see how they fit into a larger picture," he said in an interview with editors and reporters at The Washington Times. "They have no plan for taking on the terrorists, and they have no plan for keeping America safe. What is the overarching strategy here?"

He attacked Democratic initiatives such as a "hate crimes" bill being considered this week in the House, which would boost the federal government's authority to go after "bias-motivated violence." Conservative critics say the bill amounts to a gag rule for preachers and other religious figures who do not support homosexuality.

The bill "makes me want to throw up," Mr. Boehner said, blasting the idea of going after someone for "what we think they were thinking as opposed to what they did."

1. No, Boner. That's the booze.

It's what happens when you drink too much -- you hurl. You'd think he'd have figured that out by now.

[pink-o]

21. When I opened this thread, I wondered how long it would take for someone

to say exactly what you did--that it's from drinking. Hilarious that you nailed it on reply # 1:rofl: :applause:

[peace frog]

2. Allow me to help you, Boner

Just swallow this Syrup of Ipecac - you'll feel alllllll better soon. Mind the projectile vomiting, if you please. :evilgrin:

[izquierdista]

3. He needs to see a doctor

Nausea, mood swings, crying uncontrollably, moaning; maybe it was something he ate -- or swine-headed flu.

[BlooInBloo]

4. Direct quote: "Like gag me with a spoon!"

[polichick]

5. Guys like Boehner are choking on their own hateful bile as they finally go down.

[indepat]

10. Hearing the bile emanating from 'pukes as repulsive as Boehner is enough to make one puke

:P

[ErinBerin84]

6. so THAT's why he always has that expression? And the tears in his eyes?

[lame54]

7. Must be a good bill

[lamp_shade]

8. Such a distinguished gentleman... such a classy guy... eh?

[droidamus2]

9. Intelligent ain't it

I can't believe (okay he's a Republican so maybe I can believe) that a person at the highest level of our government is saying because he doesn't agree with a piece of legislation that it will 'make him puke'. Does he realize he is in the Congress of the USA and not in the high school student council. What next 'I just read that Health Care bill Obama proposed and all I can say is gag me with a spoon I mean it really sucks!!'.

[babylonsister]

11. And to be complaining about a hate crimes bill. Are they even thinking about

what they're saying anymore?

President Obama issued the following statement Tuesday in support of the Hate Crimes bill:

"This week, the House of Representatives is expected to consider H.R. 1913, the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2009. I urge members on both sides of the aisle to act on this important civil rights issue by passing this legislation to protect all of our citizens from violent acts of intolerance – legislation that will enhance civil rights protections, while also protecting our freedom of speech and association. I also urge the Senate to work with my Administration to finalize this bill and to take swift action."

The full House of Representatives is expected to vote on the bill Wednesday.

12. Don't bogart the toilet. nt

[bdamomma]

13. maybe he feels like throwing up because Boehner drinks too much!

[yellowcanine]

14. Puke away Boner man. Keep it in the toilet though and please flush, ok?

Maybe if you controlled the late night drinking binges you wouldn't feel so pukey.

Oh and learn to speak English, ok? That last quote is some tortured syntax, don't you think?

'The bill "makes me want to throw up," Mr. Boehner said, blasting the idea of going after someone for "what we think they were thinking as opposed to what they did."'

15. Have a nice

[Forkboy]

17. Looks like we're even then, Dim Weeper.

[Lex]

18. We must be on the correct path now if Boner thinks we are wrong.

[sinkingfeeling]

20. And Boehner makes me want to throw up.

[Bobbie Jo]

29. +1

:puke:

[gratuitous]

22. "What is the overarching strategy here?"

Let me put it to you this way, Mr. Boehner: Considering what you're spouting off to the Washington Times, why on earth would you think the Obama administration would include you in their strategy discussions? Were you dropped on your head as a child? Repeatedly? Because you seem particularly dim-witted, even for a Republican. But then, that would explain your position as Minority Leader. Don't worry, though; you'll soon enough have fewer matters to take care of as your caucus shrinks and shrinks.

[Winterblues]

23. Exactly how I felt with all the Republican bills this last couple of decades..

What exactly did he do to "protect" Americans from Cancer and Diabetes, and all the other diseases that Americans fear. You know the things that really affect Americans lives and security.. Enough of this phoney war on terror and huge waste of resources. ...ENOUGH..Let's start fighting the battles that really matter..

[WI_DEM]

24. throw up already you pathetic drunk!

[Marr]

25. I love watching these guys spiraling into the toilet.

The smaller their party gets, the more they pander to the bigots, and the smaller their party gets.

[Hepburn]

26. I bet he would feel all better if someone water boarded him...

...after all it is NOT torture, right? :eyes:

[lakercub]

27. I'm worried about this

"They have no plan for taking on the terrorists, and they have no plan for keeping America safe. What is the overarching strategy here?"

Maybe we don't have a plan or a strategy?

I mean, nobody knows more than Boehner what not having a plan or a strategy looks like.

[tabbycat31]

28. well Boner makes me want to throw up

[Bobbie Jo]

30. Maybe he'll feel better once he throws up?

That's what mom always said.
