GOP Speaker-elect John Boehner: Middle class tax cuts bill ‘chicken crap’

WASHINGTON -- Incoming House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) on Thursday dismissed an ultimately successful attempt by House Democrats to extend middle-class tax cuts as "chicken crap" and "nonsense."

"I'm trying to catch my breath so I don't refer to this maneuver going on today as chicken crap, all right? But this is nonsense, all right?" Boehner told reporters at the Capitol.

"The election was one month ago. There are 23 months from the next election and the political games have already started to try to set up the next election," he said.

2. tough shit
He's not the speaker yet and his thugs are not in power yet. He can piss orange juice down both legs if he wants but there's not a damn thing he can do about it.

And as far as already "setting up the next election", that's EXACTLY what his bunch of shitwads did. They started screaming for Obama to fail before he was even elected, so screw him and all his republi-thugs! :grr:

4. He should know about crap
He is full of it! He is just pissed off that they, the democrats, defied him and McConnell and didn't back down to their BS! Now if only Harry will stand up to them in the senate and make everyone one of those assholes go on record as NOT wanting tax breaks for the middle class, then McConnell can start his whining also! They will most likely block it, but it will show the public just who they back, and it's not the people, but the rich and the corporations!

5. it would be pretty stupid politics for Dems to do it right AFTER an election
it won't help them in the election just past, and by 2012, the public will have long forgotten any small good they accomplish now, and will never notice in the first place their usual half-hearted gestures before capitulating to the GOP.
