Picture Boner's orange face sitting behind Obama at the next SOTU.

[jillan]

If that doesn't motivate you to want to keep Dems in control, then I give up.

Edit to add - I KNOW things have been disappointing BUT if you think what we have now is bad...just think how things could be with Boner and McConnell in charge. Thanks - but NO THANKS! I'll take major disappointment over pure hell.

[Turbineguy]

1. Thanks for not posting

a photo.

[patrice]

2. Do you think that guy has color-envy or something like that?

[gateley]

3. Great visual to keep us energized -- thanks! nt

[jillan]

4. I read somewhere over the weekend (the Hill?) that he is preparing to be speaker.

I can't stand the thought of that.

[gateley]

7. Oh God. Oh God. We can NOT let that happen. Thanks again for the sobering

warning, P! :pals:

[DJ13]

5. Picture a tall orange boner sitting behind Obama?

:scared:

[Lasher]

11. I hope that visual doesn't haunt my dreams. n/t

[Hippo_Tron]

6. On that note...

8. Oh my God! I'm not kidding -- I'm having trouble catching my breath! We HAVE

to be as gung-ho as they are! My God! :puke:

[madamesilverspurs]

25. The stuff nightmares are made of...

9. Does the Boner hit a tanning bed or is it sprayed on?

Whichever, it is simply ghastly.

[cutlassmama]

13. I think both. When it's spray on he's orangier than normal.

[eppur_se_muova]

10. Just to play Devil's Advocate, maybe it would be good finally to see ...

two "nonwhites" at the top of the DC power pyramid.

























yeah, yeah ... :sarcasm: :evilgrin:

[PatSeg]

12. What is it about republicans

and their House leaders? Boehner looks like the phony, crooked politician in a movie, a caricature of a slick politician, except he comes across as really stupid. Could be the booze I suppose, as he often appears inebriated. And he was preceded by friggin' Tom Delay??? How gullible are republicans?

Brings to mind what we used to say about Nixon, "Would you buy a used car from this guy?" It is really scary that people actually vote for these people.

[depakid]

14. The guy seems so pleased with it the orange look- he even wears ties that "complement' it

----



Tell me there's not something seriously whack going on with this guy...

[saltpoint]

15. On Boehner. He is one of those privileged Congresscritters in southwest

Ohio. Mean Jean Schmidt is another.

I don't want people like this running anything. I don't want them in charge. I don't want them running the House of Representatives, or even a subcommittee on postage stamp themes.

For me it's not really an either / or argument, but an outright rejection of the mentality someone like John Boehner brings to public service.

And as God is my witness his skin really is orange.

[TexasObserver]

16. The party of NO obstructs as a stratagem to retake the congress.

[rasputin1952]

17. One of the most frightening things that can happen...

is that someone who thinks they are intelligent gets into a position of power when there is nothing to back up the case for intellect. Boehner is indeed a fool, and proves it every time he opens his mouth.

As fort R's gaining the House, I can't see that happening, there is no precursor for a sweeping change in Congress. People are angry at Congresscritters other than their own, it's always like that. Boehner and the other clods of the GOP are smoking some good stuff if they think the House will turn R in the midterm; some gains are possible, but I actually think there may be losses for the GOP...they are seen as little more than obstructionists...:hi:

[JoePhilly]

18. Then imagine the Supreme Court if Obama were to lose in 2012

How scary is that??

[jillan]

24. That is even scarier! Much, much scarier.

[lunatica]

19. If that happens this country will cease to be this country

We might as well let them rename it and write another Constitution more to their liking.

[MadHound]

20. Let's see, we would be conducting two illegal, immoral wars,

Education would come under assault as lawmakers gut our public education system in favor of a private one. We would hand over a mandated monopoly to the insurance industry. We would continue to live under a police state with a renewed Patriot Act. The LGBT community would be on the outside looking in.

Oh, wait, those things are happening with Pelosi sitting behind the President at the SOTU.

That dime's worth of difference has shrunk to about two cents, if not less.

Perhaps it is time for real change in this country, not the faux change we have now.:shrug:

[flpoljunkie]

21. Excellent motivation! We must not let that happen!

[Vinca]

22. At the end of the meeting, when Obama approached the Great Pumpkin

to shake hands, I started laughing out loud because Boner is actually darker skinned than Obama.

[salguine]

23. That doesn't motivate me to want to keep "the Dems" in control, sorry. What would

motivate me thus would be an actual health care system that means something, closing Gitmo, repealing DADT, rescinding the Bush administration's criminal abuses instead of codifying them into law...the list goes on and on. They have been moving in precisely the wrong direction on every issue. The way things are going, seeing idiot Boehner's face sitting behind the President won't really make any difference to me.

Obama's actions on virtually everything have been a complete betrayal of everything I stand for, and too many people fawn and gush over his beautiful speeches, as if he doesn't habitually say one thing and do the opposite. I don't tune in to hear him speak any more because frankly I can no longer stand the sight of him any more than Boehner.

And frankly, the old "Just think how much worse it would be with (insert Republican of your choice here)" doesn't hold water any more. It really needs to be taken out behind the barn and shot.

[jenmito]

26. "...I can no longer stand the sight of him any more than Boehner."

WOW! You really need to catch up since you think they "have been moving in precisely the wrong direction on every issue."

[jillan]

27. We'll see what this DUer has to say if it does happen.

Things may not be perfect now, but to think it doesn't make any difference whose in power is beyond my comprehension.

[lsewpershad]

28. Just the thought

is very scary.

[hisownpetard]

29. He might get mistaken for a basketball.

[Canuckistanian]

30. Better the devil you know....

And as we've all seen lately, this new crop of GOP idiots are even worse than during the Bush regime.

Can you imagine a Senate full of Bunnings, McConnells and Inhofes? It would be a return to the Dark Ages, only with less compassion.
