Amusing-Boehner Booed because of bullshit. Unions +5
Politico's Ben Smith reports that he was attending the Building Trades Legislative Conference this morning, and House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) addressed the group.

Boehner brought up Iraq, and he said that if we weren't fighting the terrorists there, they'd "follow us home" to the United Staters. It's a variation of a line that Boehner and other GOP congressional leaders have used over and over again during the last several years.

But this time, it produced a huge, noisy wave of boos and catcalls, and Boehner had to stop his speech. He tried the line again, was booed again, and then union officials gaveled the crowd to silence. Boehner said, "I appreciate the dialogue," and moved on.

1. Sorry, Boner. You aren't addressing "Reagan Democrats" anymore.
Nobody's buying into the bullshit. You aren't arousing hatred for anyone except your party of serial liars and thieves.

2. They'll follow us home
That seems to be the latest talking point, and it looks like NO ONE is buying it. People are finally seeing through the bullshit. :D

7. I could be wrong but I don't think so.
They've been saying "fight them over there so that we don't have to fight them over here", but I don't think they've been saying "they'll follow us home" until recently.

"They'll follow us home" is obviously designed to make us fear the troops coming home. It's a particularly desperate talking point and I don't think it's working with anyone.

5. Fucking Propogandists..Bullshit
warmongers. Like someone said.."The Americans may be slow but they're not Stupid"!

If condi had been any kind of "National Security Adviser"..9/11 would never have happened. bushits started War On IRaq and that exponentialized the World's Terrorists.

Yeah, boner..send more of our Soldiers over there to IRaq for your cannon fodder..cause you bushits are too lazy and inept to fix National Security.
