1. Boner needs to realize that the VAST majority of voters REJECTED his party's policies.

Should we have the results of the election framed & hung on the house floor?

[zbdent]

3. Really? With the "liberally-biased media" constantly going to him for quotes damn near

every day for the past 2 years (or 4), you'd think HE was the President, not Obama ...

[santamargarita]

22. Boner is in a drunken stupor most of the time.

[qwlauren35]

36. Vast majority?

If it was 60% of the popular vote (enough for a filibuster), I'd say reasonable majority. But it wasn't 60%. If it was 75% I'd give you VAST majority.

I can give you SIMPLE majority, but that's about it. Obama did not win the popular vote by a landslide.

39. Dubya calls a 3.5 margin (Obama got slightly more) a *mandate*.

Bush staked his claim to a broad mandate and announced his top priorities at a post-election news conference, saying his 3.5 million vote victory had won him political capital that he would spend enacting his conservative agenda.

"I earned capital in this campaign, political capital, and now I intend to spend it," Bush told reporters. "It is my style."

2. The Oranged-Skinned Boner

Is a lot of things, but "flabbergasted" has to be the least offensive term that could be possibly hung around his neck.

[Pathwalker]

4. Yep. Never has his flabber been so gasted.

Good.

[calimary]

9. LOVE IT!!!

[Plucketeer]

5. Boner's just "hard up"

Hard up for ideas other than doing the bidding of the wealthy.

[Spirochete]

6. It still hasn't dawned on him

that the Republicans didn't sweep November's elections. The human Cheeto is still in denial.

[calimary]

10. The "human Cheeto"? OMG!!!!

[Fearless]

7. The plan is still suggesting cuts to Medicare/Medicaid.

[randome]

8. Which is fine if those cuts come from administrative costs or provider compensation.

[CindyinIndy]

11. BINGO!

[reACTIONary]

16. And if they are worked out AFTER the increased tax rate is locked in. (NT)

[Fearless]

26. Except that the plan does not detail where they will come from.

[quaker bill]

27. Actually the reporting indicates

that the savings come from allowing medicare to negotiate drug prices (like Canada). It is not actually a cut in benefits in that the people get the same meds, we just pay less for them. It is just like the savings that come from removing 716 billion of excess insurance company profits from the system. The benefits are the same, just insurance companies make less money providing them.

32. Thank you ...

I'm so tired of democrats making that gop argument ... even after having it being spelled out for more than 3 years, in the context of ObamaCare. Nothing has changed!

[Fearless]

34. Can you provide a link to the text?

[Pakid]

20. Lets make it simple

Since the Republican want to cut Medicare/Medicaid I think we should cut both but cut them just for the people who voted Republican after all if the Republican want it cut so bad then they should be the ones who get cut. Lets see how that fly with the GOP voters. LOL

[qwlauren35]

37. Wouldn't it be okay

to cut medicare and medicaid if we had collective bargaining on prescription drugs?

I think that's a fair trade.

[Fearless]

38. No.

[Dark n Stormy Knight]

12. Yup. These Rs really are in stuck in the echo chamber. I used to think they were just BSing, but I

now think maybe the they have actually deluded themselves.

[corkhead]

13. President Obama is not playing by the rules:

When Republicans win an election, Democrats must completely capitulate because "elections have consequences"

however when Democrats win it is the Democrats who must compromise in the "spirit of bipartisanship"

[GatorLarry]

23. I agree!

GOP = party of hypocrisy, party of obstructionism, and errand boys for the ultra-rich . . .

Their time of any relevance is quickly disappearing.

[Cha]

14. This is a Perfect Graphic, madamesilverspurs!

Thank you!

[AAO]

15. He's always had a firm grip on his own "Boehner".

[Flabbergasted]

17. No no no no no... I'm flabbergasted. Nt

[mysuzuki2]

18. Well flabber me gasket, Boner boy!

[Turborama]

19. Fanta Face is Flabbergasted!!

Ooh, that's got a nice ring to it!

[11 Bravo]

21. Who knew that "flabbergasted" was synonymous with "shit-faced"?

[2naSalit]

24. Numerous headlines show the cheeto

posturing by saying "we're nowhere". Well we can all now be confident that he's the real nowhere man!!

[SHRED]

25. Hey John...where's your counter proposal?

[Crowman1979]

31. {crickets}

[SummerSnow]

33. His counterproposal is .....

"The Pledge "

[The Wizard]

28. John Boner

is talking smegma and he go shove a chicken up his ass. The majority supports the president. Boner is whistling past the graveyard.

[drynberg]

29. THE SOBER TRUTH IS THAT OUR PRESIDENT WON BIG TIME OVER BONER'S GOP AND RMONEY

So, John, there's the same Sheriff in town, but by God, he's got a strong backbone. Deal with it.

[Crowman1979]

30. I shall quote Scott Farkus from "A Christmas Story" when I say to John Boehner.

What are you gonna cry now? C'mon cry baby cry for me! C'mon cry! AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH-HAHA!!!
