---------
Mr. Speaker, did you forget that this debt was created by 8 years of GOP spending while cutting taxes? I'd like to take this time to remind you that that is exactly what happened, you lying bastard.

1. Fuck him.

There's really nothing more to say.

[MrModerate]

2. And the source of the deficit is arguable and mostly not germain.

Bottom line -- NO SENSIBLE ECONOMIC THEORY PREACHES SPENDING CUTS IN A RECESSION. And notwithstanding hundreds of years of historical experience, we also have the recent examples of the UK and Republic of Ireland, which have made a difficult situation much, much, worse.

Why are Dems being so craven? How about being straight-up with the people, as in "What the Republicans are selling is hysterical nonsene. The American people have spoken, and what they tell us they care about is jobs. They don't give a horse's patoot about the deficit until we get our ass out of this downturn. Wiping out tens of thousands of public sector jobs is a near-certain way to pitch us into another ditch."

3. Boehner wants us to eat it.

[SpiralHawk]

4. Was he wearing diapers and tapping his toe when he said this?

...or just playing with his putter? Americans are well aware of republicons' so-called 'morals'

5. it doesn't ring so true when it was just fine BEFORE...... at least be consistent.

[HughBeaumont]

6. Uh . . . BOHner?

[SpiralHawk]

7. Aha - I knew it. The 'moral failing' is all Republicon

Hugh thanks to you, Hugh

[SmileyRose]

11. This charts needs it's own thread so we can rate it up.

[PA Democrat]

8. Tax cuts for the wealthiest while the poorest lack food, heat, and health care is a moral failing.

[Joe Bacon]

18. Not when the Republican God is Ayn as in Mine Rand!

Republicans talk the Jesus talk but they walk the Rand walk.

[Kip Humphrey]

9. Moral Failings: stealing the social security trust fund, millions dead from 2 wars of aggression,

under taxing the wealthy, not prosecuting banksters and bushters, breaking the backs of unions, destroying our planet's environment for pleasure and profit... to name but a few.

The Orange Boner is such a dickhead!

[old mark]

16. Well, OK, if you want to get technical....Boner evidently expected everyone

to forget that stuff...
"Let's blame the Democrats and workers for EVERYTHING!"...the GOP slogan.

10. The huge income disparity is fine, so are the wars, the systematic attack on social

safety nets all the while giving handouts to the rich and big business though, no moral failing there right?

[Turbineguy]

12. Then the Christian thing to do

is to send money to the Treasury to pay down the debt.

[old mark]

17. ...and the rich have all the money now, so....nt

[hobbit709]

13. "Moral failings"?

A boozing, corporate whore Oompa Loompa has the nerve to talk about morals.

Fuck you and the horse you rode in on, Boner.

[peekaloo]

14. Typical R, they pinch a loaf and expect us to eat it.

sober up cry baby.

[ProfessionalLeftist]

15. Yes it is. It started with the GOOP and their Wall St. Buddies

I don't see any of them in jail yet.

[tsuki]

19. Then what is banging a lobbyist considered?

[Courtesy Flush]

20. But it IS a moral failing

Eight years of amoral leadership, corporate giveaways, and neglecting domestic issues got us where we are today.

[spanone]

21. if that's true, republicans are morally corrupt

[blindpig]

22. John Calvin smiles.

His apology for Capitalism keeps on giving.

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

23. It's no mistake that he called it a "loaf." nt

[Javaman]

24. It's like this...

the gop has no morals so therefore they didn't fail.

All clear now?

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. Schooled.

[Initech]

25. Why is the House speaker on an Xtain talk show?

[old mark]

26. Boehner also quoted Proverbs in the OT- "A good man leaves an inheritance for his children's

children..." and evidently he is saying that it is Obama and the Democrats who "have forgotten this.." It is outrageous that this amoral asskissing drunk claims the GOP-who has done and is doing its best to bankrupt and impoverish every working person in the US-has the nerve to claim they are interested in any way in our welfare.

I used to look at Boehner as an amusing idiot, but he is really just as much of a sociopathic prick as Newt Gingrich ever was, and possibly even worse.

I am really beginning to actually hate this man...he is America's enemy.

28. Ugggghhhhh

I HATE people who act as though cuts in public services, harshness toward poor people, and other forms of RW policy are some form of moral or religious duty.

I HATE people who bring God into government, and right-wing government into church, and equate Christianity - or other religion -with right-wing policies.

I HATE people who, to use an old saying, think that the right to life begins at conception and ends at birth.

My country has far less of this problem than yours does; it still has far too much!

[Tsiyu]

29. Having Boner as Speaker is America's true moral failing

And spending 300 million a day in Iraq and in Afghanistan are also moral failings.

And allowing Bank of America to pay less taxes than I do is definitely a moral failing.

Boner better be careful - that "moral" karma is gonna sneak up and bite him on his immoral orange ass.....

[joeunderdog]

30. Let's start with the military, shall we?

Talk about a moral failing. Iraq, much? Afghanistan?

Can we start slicing there first?
