Boehner: 'Rebellion' occurring in U.S.

Double speak = Republicans out for rebellion. Watch "Capitalism, a love story" With the exception of the Obama crap, it's a good place to start to see who to put the cross-hairs on. Oh, yeah, I still think Clinton was the best Republican president since Jimmy Carter. Those southern boys, have almost got past the part that Lincoln was a Republican.

Educate and inform the whole mass of the people... They are the only sure reliance for the preservation of our liberty.
-Thomas Jefferson
Get rid of the Liberals and the Democrats... There's some education for you.

This guy needs to stay in the tanning bed and away from Congress.

If there is a rebellion it will be because healthcare failed.
left not right..

It is possible this fruit loop is the corner stone of a deeper problem . An idea . An idea that is hard to kill . The reason why these people did not show up to stop "shock and awe" and other atrocities , is because they are caught up in a cult of aggression . They were probably too thrilled . They believe bully tactics are the "right" way to solve problems . Fox news , among others , has shown them the way . Not listening to all sides of the situation , not by reason , logic or compassion , by sheer force or volume if that isn't handy . They do not want dialogue . They will try to roll over the opposition , and they will keep trying until they get what they want . I believe in free speech . If i am willing to say something , I has better be able to take the flack for being vocal . So had they . If you disagree with them , let them know . Relentlessly . Do not fund them ever . Anyone connected , either .

We need more parties! Start over with people of integrity. Wipe out the career liars. Politics should NEVER be a career, never! They all end up taking money to keep their jobs. Get rid of lobbyists, too! Term limits.

There needs to be a rebellion within the GOP if they want to win any more elections this century.

If you think these tea parties are a bunch of old rich self centered idiots, you are wrong. If you think they are the minority, you are wrong. They are just simply business owners. Not every business is walmart. These are you mom and pop shop owners, you small town factory owners, and even you everyday babysitters.

If you think Fox is a bunch of liars go watch CNN and after watching there report on one of these Tea parties you actually go to one, you will see that they tape a few idiots that happen to go and make it look like the whole Tea Party is built of idiots.

You are getting played from 2 sides and don't even realize it.

He is right, a rebellion is happening. And a rebellion doesn't have to be the majority, although in this case I believe it is.

If you think this a few thousand old timers that think only for themselves, you really need to do a little more research and check everything you read and hear and form your own opinions because of it. Fox lies, CNN lies, and the Government lies.

We liberals had two tea parties,and they were the last two elections. And as long as the conservitaves keep up this crap we will have a few more.

As long as the Americans get their information from irresponsible media, they will be ignorant. Make the Media honest please. And TJ is one of my heroes.

If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a state of civilization, it expects what never was and never will be." (as cited in Padover, 1939, p. 89)

". . . whenever the people are well-informed, they can be trusted with their own government; that, whenever things get so far wrong as to attract their notice, they may be relied on to set them right." (as cited in Padover, 1939, p. 88)

Jefferson felt so strongly about education that he, as a strict constitutional constructionist, submitted to congress an amendment to the constitution to legalize federal support for education in his State of the Union Address, December 2, 1806. "Education is here placed among the articles of public care. . . " (Honeywell, 1964, p. 63).

Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds must be improved to a certain degree. . . . An amendment to our constitution must here come in aid of the public education. The influence over government must be shared among all people. (as cited in Padover, 1939, p. 87)

Is this socialism? Maybe a little. How about our interstate system of highways?
How about our fire department?, Police?.
Hey, We are already there so let's take the best and screw the rest.

this is getting way too out of hand.

don't they just wish. noisemakers do not make a rebellion, nor do deluded fools.

im surprised he wasn't outside at the gay rights rally a few weekends ago talking about an ongoing 'rebellion'. oh wait, no one is surprised to see him vehemently toeing the line of the evangelical republican agenda. hateful, oblivious and basically just bad political form.

Yes, there is a rebellion going on in the USA.

12 dead and 31 wounded at Fort Hood, soldiers killed at the hands of fellow soldiers.

I live in Maryland, a mere 20 miles from DC. A young lady, a friend of the family, is living with us until December. She is an intern with a midwestern senator. Her office is near Lieberman's and she witnessed the arrests .

She said the media's accounts of numbers was grossly exaggerated - there weren't more than a couple hundred that got bussed in. They kept moving them around for the benefit of the cameras.

I would bet that there is not one person on this site who has actually read the health care bill in its entirety. It is much like the people who get on here and post about Islamic fundamentalism without ever having read the Koran. Run Forrest run.

Divided we fall...

Way to go John wave a copy the constitution and begin to quote the Declaration of Independence. John they are not same did you not pay attention in school?

Oh, please.

Must be a great power high , commanding the zealots of "love"army . People like that turn on anyone who doesn't follow the herd .

So basicly the republican party is trying to do the whole "grassroots" thing except they bought theirs and try to pass it off as real. The sad thing is the general population will believe it.

if 10,000 people had shown up 4 years ago, they would have been called un-american and thrown into "free-speech zones". Now they're revolutionists. Do these people think that none of us remember?

“How else could you get 10,000 people to show up with only a few days notice?”

Uh, 40 free astroturf buses , free donuts and coffee? Free advertising on Fox? All of the above? Do I win anything?

This isn't about health care for the working man. This is "Would you rather have a bigger government or bigger corporations?".

I'll take the former any day of the week.

I love that this guy's name is Boner, you can't write shit that funny.

This man in a cretin. There were meny more people who were against the invaison of Iraq and involved in peace protests than there are for this irrelevant rubbish.

If these people were serious about fiscal responsibility they would have been protesting a lot of the Bush Administrations policies as well. What about Medicare Part D which didn't allow the government to negotiate the prices for pharmaceuticals? What about the Iraq war? What about the 90% of the deficit that was caused by the Bush Administration? That's why everything they are doing and saying is suspect, and conveniently in lock-step with protecting the bottom lines of the Insurance and Pharmaceutical companies. You can trace all their talking points back to conservative think tanks (whose funding you can directly trace back to corporate interests) and lobbyists. The fact that they claim that this is a "peoples" movement is laughable. Brainwashed people maybe.

Most of the things that are going wrong in this bill are concessions that were made to the Blue Dogs who were influenced by those special interests groups and the Republicans, who were not seeking a bi-partisan bill at all but to water down the bill as much as possible and still not vote for it.

The insurance companies are the real problem here, not government. Corporate greed is much more dangerous to this country than wasteful bureaucracy. I would rather tax dollars go into a slightly redundant government workers pocket than into some some disgustingly wealthy CEOs gold plated fish hooks on his back up yacht.

These illiterate morons claim that this is going to hurt the economy and their pocketbooks, and raise their taxes... but HELLO! Bush has done that already, and the Insurance companies are already hurting your pocketbooks and bankrupting the economy.

People can hate on Obama all they want, but all I know is that he is attempting make healthcare affordable for me, whereas the Republicans are trying to stop it, and keep things the way they are, which is healthcare I can't afford! Why can I not afford it? Because I finished my six year enlistment in the Navy and am now a full time student, trying to develop the skills to contribute to society, but if I get hurt or sick I will lose everything...EVERYTHING, and the Republicans don't care. They can all burn in hell, along with their brainwashed illiterate followers.

The bottom line is that the Government take over of healthcare sucks. The American people by and large think it sucks. All the polls show it sucks. The 20,000 who showed up at the capitol think it sucks. So yeah, Boehner is correct. The majority of Americans are rebelling against the Government take over of our healthcare. The idea sucks. Pretty obvious by now.

i walked by the capitol today, only about 500 people out there. ignorance is bliss.

Really? That's just naive. Has people using their constitutional right to protest become so uncommon that it counts as rebellion?

Hey Boner, protect the corporate pigs that feed you. Your corporate funded and organized rallies cost lots but your masters can afford it and will kill any of us for a few dollars more profit. But you and Bachman will always have good health care that we the tax payer pay for! But you want the priviledge of havingvwhat the rest of us can not have.
Boener is scum.

If its good for the GOP its good for the country.........wheres my donation?

Where is that clayjj with his quote we have a retarded President! he must be talking about shrub!

I can visualize bonner getting tea bagged in the congressional coat room! Can't you.

"We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.": Aesop - (c. 550 B.C.)

What a boner! They did a tea bag get together in my town (Los Angeles) and out of the near 10 million residents, about 500 showed up. Thats not a rebellion, that's your movement getting tea bagged!

Too bad we cant send Boehner to gitmo and beat the truth out of him...

Art Pope Director of AFP: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Art_Pope

Boehner is a rectum sphincter. The rebellion is sponsored by by the tobacco and health insurance industry? Strange bedfellows in politics.

Bonner even quoted the the preamble of the constitution he was holding only it is the declaration of independence. What country is this dimwhit from.

Wow. Tens of thousands. That's almost one-tenth of one third of one percent (and this figure is actually being quite kind)!

Republicans are so shallow, and live empty lives. They revolt for television cameras, and look like goofy clowns while doing it. When we do it, we have genuine disgust towards oppression usually at the behest of republican racism, sexism, homophobia, classism, transphobia, and anti-semitism!

They only care about power and control!

Fuck the republicans. They are false prophets who have had union with the devil. Oh, so have the democrats.

Well it's about time.

I wondered why my batting average was down.

Anyone else read the headline as Boehner rebellion in the U.S. ?

what a shame, honestly!

“How else could you get 10,000 people to show up with only a few days notice?”

10,000 is nothing, you moron... I think over 100,000 people went to Capitol Hill to protest for gay rights, and they hardly got news coverage.

But Wait! 10,000 old, nutty, right-wing caucasians - probably paid for by the Republicans and Insurance CEO's - suddenly get the nation's attention over the "evils" of medicare.

Double standards, much?

I bet the rest of the world is racking their brains to find out how they let this country, out of all the countries in the world, come out on top. This country of false, delusional people.

I believe this guy has the enough ears to bring forth what ever it is they are planning. Some of you like to sit around and laugh at them, but the genes for irrationality have seemed to survive the eons to still be with us today for a reason.

After surveying and interviewing members of the crowd the New York Times concluded that "It’s a generally older crowd, many in their 50s and 60s, predominantly, white, and many self-identified as Christians. They are fiercely conservative and deeply skeptical of the government, many of them adamantly opposed to abortion rights."

Same group of nutters who dislike Obama, think he's from Kenya and think democrats are socialists/fascists/Maoists/Stalinists/communists/elitists. They don't represent the majority, they represent a very loud, uninformed, defiant minority.

Holding a copy of the Constitution, Boehner implored the crowd to “join us in saying no to a government takeover of health care.”

So Boehner wants to abolish Medicare?

I don't usually like insulting people, but what a fake asshole. Par for the course.
It's no "rebellion" it's a corporate-sponsored event complete with free bus transport. Give me a fuckin break already Boner.
