boner: 'The American People have spoken...'

[Subdivisions]

Isn't it strange how suddenly "The American People have spoken..." is something that deserves attention and respect from the right?

Where was that acceptance and respect for "The American People have spoken..." by the goop when Dems kicked their asses in 2006 and 2008?

1. "... and I'm the only one entitled to tell you what they said." n/t

2. Boner can go fuck himself

fuckwad

[deminks]

3. No, the Chamber of Commerce has spoken. You are just a tool.

A small, weepy, tan tool

[wisteria]

4. Good point, and McConnell's arogance about how the people want Dem's to move to the right

where the Repubs are is absolutely disgusting. They didn't take over everything only the House, but their tone says alot about how they will not compromise at all.

5. We need to get the word out. Boehner does not speak for all

Americans. He speaks for half of the 40% of Americans
who voted.

6. All those Ben Franklins spoke loudly...

:shrug:

7. Just 2 days, and I'm already sick of this fucking drunken old fraud.

Is it bad of me to wish him a quick death from cirrhosis?

8. So NOW he's listening?

He must have cleaned a hell of a lot of Coppertone out of his ears.

9. Really? I thought it was all that foreign corporate money

drowning out American voices from sea to shining sea.

10. It's no shocker. It's part of the right-wing mindset.

Make no bones about it, the right is a religious hierarchy that broaches no dissension. At the top are the leaders who are the only one entitled to properly interpret such things as the will of God or what was said when the "People have spoken". This top-down mentality is a fertile ground for the planting of fascism and we see many of the techniques used by historical accounts of facism being incorporated into the right-wing ideology.

11. Repubs = "will of the people", Dems = "mob rule"

This is the oldest trick in their book... Bush was a fearless leader because he didn't listen to polls, yet Obama's supposed to, even when a minority of the people are opposed to his policies, because that minority still represents "millions of Americans" and so on...

[Bluebear]

14. Well said

[county worker]

12. If the American people were fed a pack of lies, and their motivation for voting was

based on those lies, how can you say they have spoken. All they did was buy into the lies.

13. What's stranger is that..

..President Obama has about a 20% larger approval rating than Congress (including Republicans) yet, somehow, this election is a rejection of the Presidents agenda.

[treestar]

15. True, why didn't Boner have the Rs vote for everything the Administration wanted?

When the people had spoken? The Rs only listen when the people tell them what they want to hear.

16. wrong message dude. you have 2 years to fix the economy .

[KamaAina]

17. ...and what they said was "Duuuuuh!"
