Boehner urges Dems to heed Bush's call

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Incoming House Minority Leader John Boehner supported President Bush's call for increased restraint in fiscal spending Wednesday, while warning Democrats not to retreat from full disclosure of earmarks in all bills.

"We need to restrain spending, balance the budget, and bring greater accountability to the way Washington spends taxpayers' money," Boehner said in a statement. "If Democrats share our commitment to these objectives, Republicans stand ready to work with them."

In an opinion column in Wednesday's Wall Street Journal, Bush called for greater fiscal responsibility and bipartisanship as the 110th Congress is set to begin.

1. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH. republicons had their chance, robbed America blind

and now are posturing, calling on the Dems to "do the right thing."

What hypocricy. What Pharisees the corrupt republicon cabal is...

[Binka]

5. Those Narcissistic Fucks Aren't Posturing They Are Bullying

Typical malignant narcissistic behavior, deny the reality they have thumped people with and then act like a fucking victim. Nasty little wormwoods.

[gratuitous]

2. NOW the Republicans are all fiscally responsible, are they?

Okay, first thing we do is plug the hemorrhage of two elective wars that only serve to siphon money out of the Treasury directly into the overstuffed pockets of Bush's overrich friends. Can I get an Amen from the right side of the aisle?

Oooh, listen! Crickets!

[Zenlitened]

3. They are just BRAZEN in they way they try to edit reality, aren't they?

Unreal. Republicoids' "commitment" to restrained spending, balanced budgets and accountability???

There's nothing lower than a person who can look you square in the eye and lie to you.

:puke:

4. I'm assuming Boehner includes those Iraq "supplementals" and no-bid,

no oversight DOD contracts in his remarks as well? Just askin, Mr. Boehner.

6. didnt mccain say that the bushies were spending money like drunk sailors?

[LynnTheDem]

7. "So just forget all about what republics have done the last 6 years!"

I don't think so.

[Kagemusha]

8. Uh Boehner, what commitment are you speaking of?

Bush's? It sure as hell ain't yours.

[Robbien]

9. So now Boehner finally realizes there are Democrats in the room

If Democratic Speaker of the House acts the same way Boehner did when he was Speaker, Boehner would now be told to stfu and just do his assigned job of kissing butt of the majority party members.

10. Nancy Should Give Bone Head A Pair Of Her Panties

And instruct him to wear them on his head every night.

Although that would probably please the pervert.

Maybe he should wear a pair of Hastert's instead. I'm sure Nancy's smell much better!

[Pierre.Suave]

13. I said it before and I will say it again

the economy is going to crash, and it will be the repuglicons number 1 campaign issue come election time on 08 unless we do something RIGHT NOW and hold the assholes responsible, accountable.

[Hard_Work]

15. They know Dems are going to fix things,

and are positioning themselves to take credit.

[Pierre.Suave]

17. hahaha, I am sorry but...

I don't think that will happen, cause if it were going to, and they knew how serious it is, they would be doing it instead of partying for 4 days.

[krabigirl]

14. Give me a break...all the Repugs have done is spend money in the past 6 yrs

[Jacobin]

16. Prostitutes Call for Virginity

These asshats are not funny. They are sickos

[bamacrat]

18. Now they want a "fair" government, of course.

The pukes are calling for minority rights, something pursued by Dems and shot down by the shitheads when they were in control. Why the double standard? Oh yeah..

[Javaman]

19. How does boner say this with a straight face? what a tool. nt

Can someone kick this nut in the ass?

[VegasWolf]

21. Hey Boehner STFU!! Don't you know that elections have consequences? nt

[Sapere aude]

23. Ask Mr. Boeher why he is the minority leader with those ideas.

It's because the repukes didn't do any of them and the people fired them.

[Captain Hilts]

24. What about the billions of 'emergency' funding for the war that are off budget? nt
