John Boehner predicts 'end of Obama agenda'


House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) predicted “the end of the Obama agenda” if health care reform does not pass — and he says Massachusetts can help usher in this demise by supporting Republican Scott Brown.

"If this health care reform bill doesn't pass, it is the end of the Obama agenda," Boehner told conservative radio host Laura Ingraham on Monday morning. "It's pretty clear that they're going to use every trick imaginable ... to shove this down the throats of the American people."

Boehner, who has contributed to Brown’s campaign, said he is hopeful for a victory Tuesday in the traditional Democratic stronghold but wary that congressional leadership will push the health care bill regardless of the electoral results.

On the eve of the special election, Boehner called Brown a "great candidate with a real chance to win," yet the minority leader was in lockstep with his party's message when he framed the election as more of a repudiation of the Democrats than a statement on the candidate himself.

3. Boner, you'll still be in the minority either way.

You might be able to bring progress to a halt, but no way are we implementing your starve-government agenda.

And nobody named Boner should ever use the phrase "shove down our throats."

12. Well, if he does win, hopefull the Democrats will finally decide to be a bit devious and figure out
a way to get it passed. I doubt Obama's going to let it die.
