Boehner tells GOP to get off 'dead asses'

House Minority Leader John A. Boehner (R-Ohio) challenged Republicans on Tuesday to get off their “dead asses” and start raising money for the National Republican Congressional Committee.

And the Republican leader wasn’t the only lawmaker berating his GOP colleagues to raise more money for the committee’s March 12 fundraising dinner: According to sources in the room, NRCC Chairman Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Minority Whip Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) also used a closed-door session at the Capitol Hill Club on Tuesday to challenge Republicans to raise more campaign cash.

The normally upbeat Cole told Republicans that if they don’t start raising more money for the committee, they should get used to life in the minority. Blunt told his colleagues that Sen. John McCain’s spot atop the ballot should give Republicans the opening they need to regain their majority.

California Rep. Darrell Issa, who has been tapped as chairman of the annual fundraising dinner, set a goal of raising $7.5 million for the event. He even pledged some of his own campaign cash if members failed to clear a recent hurdle. But House Republicans are falling well short in that goal.

Hmm, maybe if they had better accountants, they wouldn't need as much money?

1. Your Party is DEAD, Boner. The only positive thing to come from the last 7

miserable years: George W. Bush has killed the GOP.:applause:

[cstanleytech]

15. I would not say its dead yet.

Bleeding to death though from a thousand self inflicted wounds that have become infected and needing a transfusion? Yeah
Can the party be saved? Sure but first they have to clean out that nasty infection called the far right, ditch the lifesupport that is fox news and actually reach out to moderates and be willing to compromise with liberals.

21. I maintain it's dead, and too effin' dumb to fall over.

To be a 'Republican' in the sense as defined by current members denotes either corruption or delusion.

When the true, long-term effects of Bush The Lesser's Administration are fully realized,there will be no future for this cancerous
growth on the bum of Democracy.
:thumbsup:

2. Well DUH !!!

K A T R I N A, dumb f*k George.

Probably not many Black voters allowed in gEorge's 'base' either.
Not many white voters either, according to gEorge's favorable #s.

go F yourself gEorge bUsh.

3. Boehner: "... and you can start my taking me to lunch! I'll have a martini. Make it two."

"I'm not really all that sad. I cry easily when I'm shitfaced."

8. He looks like the "Cat in the Hat" to me...

[momster]

4. Cry Me A River

Jeez, the base can read the handwriting on the wall better than Boehner. It says "There's going to be a Democratic president, a Democratic House and possibly a Democratic Senate so why throw good money after bad?" Furthermore, people who are all about 'got mine' never give money to people who really need it. What next -- healthcare for poor children? Don't be absurd! That's against their philosophy. Republicans only give money to people who don't need it.

5. Easy for you to say

6. I'll contribute some salt so we can salt the ground after they're all gone.

We must make sure nothing new EVER springs up from this horrid, destructive, deadly party known as the Republican Party.

Salt the Earth and make sure it bears no more bad fruit.

[Demeter]

7. He MEANT Dead Elephants!

We are the ones who need to get rid of the dead asses. Fill in the blanks for yourself.

9. Awwwwwwwwwww

Bohner pulls a boner!

[ReformedChris]

10. I love seeing Republicans in the Fetal Position, Democrats are poised for a long majority!

That party is split at the seams and is falling apart. I don't underestimate their ability to rebound or use tricks to win, but the way they have destroyed the country the last 7 years is appalling. Voters see it and want real CHANGE.

[Harry Monroe]

11. A Boehner in a dead ass...

...may wake them up. If they're into that sort of thing!!!

12. Boner to have his own ass operated on next week

House GOP leader faces back surgery
WASHINGTON // House Minority Leader John A. Boehner's office says the Ohio Republican will have back surgery Friday to repair a bulging disc. The 58-year-old lawmaker will undergo surgery at Bethesda Naval Hospital outside Washington. Boehner is expected to resume his full work schedule next week.

[TheCowsCameHome]

18. Bush is having surgery?

[fascisthunter]

13. Boehner... You are a Major Reason Your Party is Dying

I'm so happy you are to dishonest and deluded to admit as much. Keep up the great work!

[mtnester]

14. Or what, he's gonna cry?

[pattmarty]

16. "Boner" can thank Bush for this, as can we in a sick sort of way.......

..... because of ALL his shit policies of the past 7 yrs. I just love talking to Republicans now, gleefully reminding them of the coming tsunami November 4th. I don't usually gloat, but with these ass holes I fucking love every minute of it.

[TheCowsCameHome]

17. ....and off of little boys, restroom users, teenage staffers, etc.

Details, David, details.

19. A dead GOP is full of "dead asses." n/t

[Deny and Shred]

20. House Republicans have been in lock step with Bush for 7 years

Now, this guy tells them to break with the President and embrace the potential of McCain? Their narrow minds can't understand the idea of not following the leader. Maybe the name calling was his way of attempting to be their new leader. I don't think they get it, does not compute.

22. Boner is paraphrasing Eddie Murphy

from the movie Distinguished Gentleman.

The widow Johnson is pouring tea for Tommy, now in super-
nerd drag -- wire-rim glasses and tweed sport jacket.
VERA JOHNSON
I'm not sure I understand, Professor
Franklin -- you wrote your doctoral
thesis on my husband?
TOMMY
He was a great man, Mrs. Johnson.
He did so much for my people.
VERA JOHNSON
He... did?
TOMMY
Oh, yes. I'll never forget when he
said 'Welfare is a drug -- and you
gotta kick it cold turkey.' It
was... inspirational.

VERA JOHNSON
Really... well, I'm sure...
TOMMY
And I was actually in the audience
when he said, 'If you people would
just get off your dead asses and
look for work, this country might
be fit to live in again.' Powerful
stuff.

23. DID HE CRY AGAIN??

Crying Boehner................:rofl: :hi:
