Boehner driven to tears on Iraq vote
(This video was shown on MSNBC Countdown tonight, and I hadn't seen it nor knew about it. Pathetic. Truly pathetic. Thought I'd share...)

from ThinkProgress

Boehner Weeps For ‘Solemn’ Debate — Then Says Iraq Critics Are Taking Al Qaeda’s ‘Bait’
(Posted by Faiz February 13, 2007 1:50 pm @ ThinkProgress)

NBC reported, “House Minority Leader John Boehner got emotional this morning as he spoke about the ’solemn’ debate that the House is set to begin today over the non-binding resolution opposing Bush’s troop increase.” Boehner “began to shed tears.”

Boehner’s fleeting moment of solemnity was quickly replaced with divisive attacks on Iraq war critics. Speaking on the House floor, Boehner began the House debate on the anti-escalation resolution by calling it a criticism of “the latest effort by American forces to win in Iraq.” Boehner said that escalation opponents are taking the “bait” of “al Qaeda and terrorist sympathizers” by using Iraq to “divide us here at home.” Watch it HERE


Anybody remember Mrs. Alito weeping because the Dems were asking her husband such tough questions during his CONfirmation hearings? Must be another "compassionate conservative" THANG, like "I don't recall" and "we're doing it for the kids".

Who we got to run against this charlatan in 2008? :grr:

1. Will he cry for the war dead?
Thought not.

I think he was crying because his line of bullshit isn't working anymore.

2. UPDATE: Boehner from May 24 vote
at You Tube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie8F1eREpnI&mode=related&search=">Boehner Speech on Troop Funding Bill, 5/24/07

The Minority Leader from Ohio gets all teary-eyed AGAIN!!! (about 5:50 into the clip).

What a bunch of rubbish. What a piece-o-crap Boehner is. What a complete TOOL. :grr:

HOMEWORK: De-construct this speech for how many GOP "talking points" you can spot.
OPTIONAL: post yer DEBUNK LINK with the lie(s) you spot.

Here's the Big Whopper on the WMD lie: "They were moved."
@ msnbc U.S. found no evidence WMD moved from Iraq
No signs that weapons were smuggled, intelligence officials say

I say again: WHO DO WE HAVE IN OH CD-8 for the 2008 ELECTION???
What's the skinny down there in CD-8?

3. I caught a clip of his performance
Edited on Fri May-25-07 06:34 PM by OhioBlue
I think it was on KO last night. He is a very bad actor. He and Heather Wilson (she cried over Janet Jackson's breast) could form the Congressional Thespian group



P.S.
:hi: from me to everyone on the Ohio Board too. I've also been away for awhile.

I was dealing with morning sickness, fatigue and hormonal imbalance. (I found out a week after the elections that I was expecting) I'm so happy about it!!! :bounce:
