Boehner: Popular Parts Of HCR Were GOP Ideas
Boehner: Popular Parts Of HCR Were GOP Ideas

House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today was adamant that some of the more popular parts of health care reform that the Democrats have been touting were actually Republican ideas, despite repeatedly saying in the past that no Republican ideas had been incorporated into the plan.

Appearing on Morning Edition, Boehner first pointed out that he and the Republicans have, "over the course of the last 16 months, every time we've had to oppose our Democrat colleagues, we've offered what we thought was a better solution."

He continued: "I think that our common sense ideas to reform the health care system made a lot more sense than what was passed by the majority."

Boehner added that if he and the Republicans take back the House of Representatives in November, they will repeal health care reform:

7. You won't repeal shit, Boner--the President won't sign a repeal of his own bill
and you won't have the numbers to override.

12. yeah. and anyone with half a brain will hear that
and wonder why in hell the Repubs all voted against it, if it had lots of Repub ideas in it.

And come to the obvious conclusion that the Repubs are opposing anything the President supports simply to be obstructionist.

13. If it was their idea, why didn't they vote for it?
That's what needs to be thrown in their faces every time they open their yapper.

15. hope it works as well for the Boner as it has for Grassley in Iowa
he made similar ridiculous statements and he has had his ass handed to him. Big time. Including a couple very public disputes with a newspaper and a constituent.
Keep it up Boner. Thanks to the innertubes we have tapes.
