Why Boner Cries

It’s when he talks about how he rose from his humble past — the son of a bar owner, one of 12 children who grew up in a small home with a single bathroom — that Boehner starts to weep.

“Making sure these kids have a shot at the American Dream like I did is very important,” he said, choking up, when asked on “60 Minutes” about his crying.

But a look at Boehner’s record during his two decades in Congress shows a man who has voted against nearly every boost for the working stiff. There’s no empathy for those with the longest shots at the American Dream in his voting pattern. Instead, we see a politician who is hard-hearted in his legislative treatment of the people now coping with the kind of economic conditions in which the Boehner family grew up.

1. One good thing about having him as Speaker:

by the end of it, he will have lost all credibility.

I still say that every time a House Dem gets up to speak, they should mention working-class families and such things, and watch this fool self-destruct :evilgrin:

2. But but he weeps so eloquently

3. He saw his soul in the mirror? n/t

5. Ickyleak has one of those? Where did he buy it? Surely it was a dead one.

6. He speaks of making the American Dream achievable yet

his actions block that very opportunity for so many.

Not only is he an orange freak, he is a liar too.

7. From the description of his family life my guess is that he had government

assistance on quite a few things on his way up. Hypocrite.

9. It always seems like the ones who rose top the top

through the help of government programs, turn around and tries to stop anybody else from having the same opportunities that they had. Just like when Black Republicans crap on Affirmative Action.

8. He drinks too much...?

[nevergiveup]

10. He cries because

the emotion of crying gets sympathy and attention. On 60 Minutes the big story was that he cried. His sobbing was a big cover for a cold hearted politician.

11. perhaps

that crying came from being one of 12 children. his only way of getting any attention was to turn on the waterworks.
