"Slaughter Solution?" Boner Uses Lawmaker's Name to Hit Health Care.

What are they...in third grade? Besides, the nerve of Boner to mock someone else's name.

"Slaughter Solution?" GOP Uses Lawmaker's Name to Hit Health Care

The Republican Party already has plenty of evocative phrases with which to hammer the health care reform effort: "Government takeover," "ram down our throats," "job-killing monstrosity."

Now House Republican Leader John Boehner's office has come up with perhaps the most striking entry yet: "Slaughter Solution."

In a blog post on Boehner's site, Dave Schnittger writes the following: "The twisted scheme by which Democratic leaders plan to bend the rules to ram President Obama's massive health care legislation through Congress now has a name: the Slaughter Solution."

The "Slaughter" here is House Rules Chairman Rep. Louise Slaughter (D-NY), who CongressDaily reported Wednesday is "prepping to help usher the healthcare overhaul through the House and potentially avoid a direct vote on the Senate overhaul bill." She is reportedly considering putting forth a rule that would dictate that the Senate version of the bill is automatically passed through the chamber once the House passes a corrections bill making changes to it.

That's all a little complicated, of course: "Slaughter Solution," by contrast, is not. It also manages to correlate passage of the health care bill with, as Merriam-Webster defines the word slaughter, "killing of great numbers of human being."

Who needs "death panels" when you've got that?

1. "Slaughter" and "boner" in the same headline

Sounds :scared:

[HughMoran]

2. Fucking freep-morans think all you gotta do is come up with a slogan

Thanks Reagan, you turned politics into a fucking sports-game.

:mad:

[JohnnyBoots]

15. That is prettu much all they have to do these days....

Perception is reality. 'Flip-flop', 'Partial Birth Abortion', Socialist Obama-care, etc.

[Ian David]

3. As opposed to The Boner Bill? n/t

[belpejic]

5. Yeah, I'd like to know what the "Boner Solution" is.

I'm guessing it has something to do with a hotel room, a carton of ultra-lights, a bottle of Viagra, and unlimited porn access. And a complimentary pass to the local tanning salon.

[Blue Owl]

4. So we'll be better off with the Boehner Bamboozle, eh?

Shove it, Bonehead.

[Cha]

6. Yeah..she's going to Slaughter the fucking

republicons..they have a problem with that?

[beac]

7. SO, if he wants to start using last names to frame the debate, can we say that Boehner is

"cock-blocking" the American people? that Republicans keep promising their own plan, but they "can't get it up"? that he doesn't understand that not having health care is "hard on" the average American??

I can do this all day, Ooompa-Loompa man.



(edited to correct typo-- my fingers were a bit "stiffy")

[belpejic]

10. Sweet.

For some reason this guy brings out my most puerile impulses.

[beac]

14. Me too. The urge to give him a swirly is almost too much to bear!*

* (not that I ever gave, or even received, one in real life-- but that teen-movie staple seems like just the ticket for Boner Boy!)

[flpoljunkie]

12. Awesome, beac!

[HughMoran]

16. Where's Lorena Bobbit when you need her?

:rofl:

[Supersedeas]

8. Wolf Blitzer had the nerve to say that Obama has had a free ride from the Press

From Birthers to Teabaggers to Death Panels, CNN, FOX and National Media friends have been in constant attack mode.

[flpoljunkie]

13. Unbelievable! They continue to sit on their hands while R's bleat the lie, 'government takeover.'

They are essentially worthless!

[Supersedeas]

9. Pour yourself another stiff drink Boner...

HCR is going to happen - and - is not going to end with the current legislation. Americans are ready for a real change and you've just seen the tip of the iceberg that's gonna sink your shitty little ship and take all the obedient little Republicanughts down with it.

[Enrique]

11. they've got nothing!

no ideas, so all they can do is Obama as the Joker, and "the Slaugher Solution". :eyes:

[Jennicut]

17. Boner is embarrassed by his own name so he needs to put down someone else to make

himself not feel like an idiot. Has there been a more hilarious name in political history then John "Boner" Boehner?

[Qutzupalotl]

18. If he adds a killer amendment, let's call it the "Boner Pill"

[belpejic]

20. In all seriousness.

Despite the fact that we know he has a deeply ironic name, we shouldn't forget the fact that Rep. Boehner stands for policies that probably differ greatly from ours. So I decided to go to his Web site, hopefully to build a list of all the things he stands up for and we shoo down. Yet I find this drivel: http://johnboehner.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=3946. Pure nonsense, couched in "environmentally friendly" terms.

Jeez, when are the Republicans going to find someone who has the balls to stand at attention for what they believe?
