Problem?

"I`m an American, and I Support a Public...

Rep. John Boehner "I`m still trying to find the first American to talk to who`s in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration... I`ve not talked to one, and I get to a lot of places and I`ve not had anyone come up to me -- I know I`m inviting it and lobby for the public option."

"Your opinion doesn`t have to be based on fact!"

Incredible, the last bit of this really strikes the point home. And speaking of reform, I think the left could really use some restructuring.

Backbone would be a great way to start.

Boehner would support the public option IF he could write off his biweekly visits to the tanning salon.

In his own words:

"I`ve not had anyone come up to me -- I know I`m inviting them -- and LOBBY for the public option."

I know "lobby" was once a common word, but in Washington these days, we need have no doubt that it`s an industry paid position. He either spoke more truthfully than he intended, or he actually honestly believes that no hired lobbyists means it`s a bad idea with no support, and implicitly doesn`t give a fuck what the public thinks.

I liked it how the reporter cuts him off right after he said "Your opinion doesn`t have to be based on facts!"
Nice job!

"It is easier to stand against something you don`t believe in than it is to stand up for something that you do believe in."

Very true words. If the public/you/we do not stick up for what you want than the public/you/we are not running the government. At that point in time it is no longer a government "for the people, by the people" it is a dictatorship/fascist regime.

In a related comment I am know a believer that "we/public" need to be free to carry guns.

Just my thoughts.......
