Boehner calls teachers, fire fighters & cops "special interests groups"

[WI_DEM]

Dems need to hit back hard on the latest class warfare from John Boehner, who is now calling middle class workers like teachers, cops, firefighters "special interests."

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) slammed Pelosi’s decision to call the House back into session, calling the funding a "payoff to union bosses and liberal special interests":


The American people don’t want more Washington ‘stimulus’ spending – especially in the form of a pay-off to union bosses and liberal special interests. This stunning display of tone-deafness comes at the expense of American workers, who will be hit by another job-killing tax hike because Washington Democrats can’t kick their addiction to more government ‘stimulus’ spending. Democrats should be listening to their constituents – who are asking ‘where are the jobs?’ – instead of scampering back to Washington to push through more special interest bailouts and job-killing tax hikes.

9. I'm pro-union and think the Democrats should be, but

I'm not going to call Obama that kind of name. I can take exception to this and other policies of his without going ad hominem.

On the other hand, I consider orange Republicans to be fair game.

2. Maybe Boehner should just go on home and play a few rounds of golf.

4. Public education can't be classified as "liberal" or "conservative".

It is independent and that's what bothers Boehner.

5. People fighting for themselves are "special interests"

but corporations hiring lobbyists to fight for them are friends of government and looked upon as gods??
Something is wrong with this picture.

When corporations start fighting for everyone within that corporation then they might not be "special interests"

7. Some DUers infer the same, at least when it comes to teachers. nt
