Based on how he cries at the drop of a hat I say he's a girly-man and Nancy Pelosi has bigger balls than he does. Your take on him?

Leftist are easy for me to peg. I can't make heads or tails of how to predict the Right Wing. All I know is there is a lot of talk on my side of the isle about how they had better not screw this up or we will vote them all out of office.

Being a ruthless cunt doesn't mean she has balls. It means she's a ruthless cunt.:victory:

I find it refreshing that a man displays his true love of this country and humbleness. It sure is a nice change from the hypocrite bitch who said "I have deep emotions about the American people. If I were to cry for anything, I would cry for them and the policies that they're about to face." Much truer if said regarding her turn with the gavel. Typical fear-mongering from the left when faced with facts and common sense.

I like how in his address yesterday he re-iterated "we are here to serve and represent the american people. It is about the American people, not about us". Something Reid and Pelosi seemed to forget.
We can comment on Pelosi because we've seen what she's represented and been like for the past 4 years. Let's give Boehner a chance instead of calling him a pussy.

Nver heard of the guy, but if he truly believes this, send him off to DC to have his guts torn out and his brain lobotomized by the bloodthirsty bottom feeder scumbags that run the place.

Smart money is on the bet that is was all an act - coached and scripted.

This right here should be flagged, it just makes way to much sense to be posted here.

Honestly when I watched her handing the gavel to him on the news, I was hoping he would start beating that bitch about the head with it. :D

What's dangerous about him?

Right now, nothing - despite being speaker of the house, his power is entirely stymied by the Senate and the President... but who knows what the future holds? My point is that politicians that believe their own BS so strongly that they cry on tv or that are at least such good liars that they can work themselves up to that on cue, are extremely dangerous. Bush believed everything that he said - people bought his bullshit because he didn't know it was bullshit. That kind of emotional attachment to a political position is dangerous, just by itself - it inhibits rational, critical thinking, replacing them with faith-based positioning (not specifically religious, just faith in an idea). This leads to ideas like "Of course greed couldn't cause the market to fail, greed is good," "Humans couldn't possibly affect the global climate, therefore global-warming must be a liberal conspiracy," "deficit spending is OK because we'll just pay for it later with the growth the tax-cuts create," "We're fighting them over there so we won't have to fight them over here," etc, etc, etc. Call me crazy, but I prefer pragmatic decision-making based on statistical likelihood and theory reinforced by factual data.

I would cry too if my last name was Boehner.

Personally, I don't trust him. There is no way you get a "Bay" out of a "B-o-e".

I feel your pain. Change. Hope. <--- All very rational, logical arguments. Not one of those slogans had anything to do with feelings or emotion. Hope is a logical governance policy for both foreign and domestic situations.

So you want someone pragmatic and cold like Pelosi. Right?

Rational, like Obama? The new governor of California is quite rational. And anything that is good for the children is automatically rational and logical.

I don't know anything about this guy, except that I get embarrassed when I try to pronounce his name.

1: How much do you know about this man or his life story to be posting such bullshit?

2: Dems and the president know how the American people feel after November. Something tells me you'll be surprised on just how much bipartisanship there is.

3: Clinton cried.

:rofl: I have yet to see a Leftist driven by data. It is always emotional. Your points are a good example.

The Left is about to be taken to the woodshed by the bond vigilantes.

It's Contained!

So what does this data tell you Knewsom?
