Boehner to GOP lawmakers: 'Behave like grown-ups' if healthcare bill is passed
:rofl: Good luck with that Boehner!


http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/88155-boehner-to-gop-lawmakers-behave-like-grown-ups

The Ohio Republican made the warning at a quick closed-door meeting with fellow House GOP lawmakers at noon in the Capitol.

According to several lawmakers who attended the 15 minute meeting, Boehner said "we will behave like grown-ups," and not engage in taunting the vulnerable Democrats who support the controversial measure.

Leaders anticipated that the Democrats will erupt in applause if the bill passes and they don't want Republicans to react with a chorus of "Nah-nah-nah-nah hey, hey, hey good-bye," as happened in November when the House healthcare bill was approved.

7. You just don't spring an order like that on GOP Congresscritters.
Unless they've been rehearsing for years in secret?

I've never seen any of the current Republicans behave like adults. Why start now?

12. I find it strange that Boner feels he has to warn his party how to act.
He talks about Obama condescending to them, what's he doing? Telling his people to act like adults?

Isn't that the same as telling them not to be childish?

18. Not bloody likely
Far easier for civil persons to act like barbarians than for barbarians to act with civility.

21. So someone yells "baby killer" at Stupak so I guess Boehner failed on this.
I want to know which republican did this.
