Stupid And Evil, That’s Our Boehner!

Posted by Phoenix Woman on February 15, 2009

If anybody’s thinking of running against John Boehner next year, here’s some lovely oppo for ya!

Boehner recently uttered this slam against passenger rail spending in the stimulus package:

“Tell me how spending $8 billion in this bill to have a high-speed rail line between Los Angeles and Las Vegas is going to help the construction worker in my district.”

Turns out that 1) there is no line from LA to Vegas and 2) Ohio stands to benefit mightily from high-speed rail.

  1. Nice catch, PW.

    I expanded upon it, at MnProgressiveProject.

    And, of course, I tipped my hat, to you!!!

    And this incident has to do with John Boehner, the Liar-In-Chief for the US House republiCons. I first saw this, over at Mercury Rising, so a hat tip is in order for Phoenix Woman.

    There will never be high-speed passenger rail between L.A. and Vegas. Southwest Airlines alone has 40 flights a day coming in here. The air carriers will not allow rail competition, beyond all the other political barriers. Vegas is slowly dying anyway.

    And good old “Junket John” now wants a freeze on Government spending. Any frigging high school history student knows EXACTLY how well that worked back in 1930….

    I know Goppers are stupid, but they really dug deep in the stupid pool to elevate this corrupt, alcoholic asshat.

  5. As an additional thought on that Jerko Republican John Boehner,…has “anyone” ever heard him talk about the expense of former President Bush’s “illegal”, non-declared War in Iraq which he supported ? I’d like to hear him talk about that. Far as I know,..the Iraq War has approached (?) around one Trillion dollars, not to mention over 4,500 needless Military live’s lost. God only know’s how many Iraq civilian’s have lost their live’s. Over a million displaced.
