Jillian Rayfield | April 30, 2010, 10:13AM


House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today was adamant that some of the more popular parts of health care reform that the Democrats have been touting were actually Republican ideas, despite repeatedly saying in the past that no Republican ideas had been incorporated into the plan.

Appearing on Morning Edition, Boehner first pointed out that he and the Republicans have, "over the course of the last 16 months, every time we've had to oppose our Democrat colleagues, we've offered what we thought was a better solution."

He continued: "I think that our common sense ideas to reform the health care system made a lot more sense than what was passed by the majority."

1. The main qualification for being a Republican is the ability to believe your own lies. n/t

[Cant trust em]

2. What a disingenuous bastard.

3. Repukes have no fucking shame whatsoever, I wouldn't trust one

to hold onto a wooden nickle. George and Dick really did pave the way (Reagan too) for Repukes lying all over the TVEE and radio without feeling any kind of liars remorse. Can't we just shoot them all into the Sun and be done with it? I'm tired of the lies.

4. Short answer to Boehner

So, if it was so chock full of good ideas, why didn't you vote for it?

[Cant trust em]

5. Yep. These ideas are so great that we didn't support them in any way. nt

[Cant trust em]

6. I feel like I have so much to say about this that I can't pick which one.

7. I hear that. Hope there will be a _lot_ of campaign ads running this year showing him saying that &

contrasting it against all the NO statements. Every Repub needs to have that run against them.

8. "It's armagerrrr-reat!" nt

9. Don't worry...the media is going to push it.

Pretty soon any and every thing positive that has come out of Washington the republicans are going to take credit for. And you better believe the media will spew it all over.
