Best watched in full screen on the Youtube original, it'll help their view count go up too...

--- -- ---

On October 1, House Minority Leader John Boehner said in a press availability, "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."

Well, some of Mr. Boehner's constituents decided to take him up on his offer and rally outside his district office in West Chester, Ohio, delivering over 1,800 signatures of people in his district who support a public option.

This NEW LEFT MEDIA film was produced and edited by Chase Whiteside (interviews) and Erick Stoll (camera).

5. Republican John Boehner is lying to support his sick republican ideology-Boehner is a habitual liar
Last thing any republican wants is health care for anyone who can't afford it or who needs it. That hurts insurance corporations profits....Corporations are the republican party.

Republicans want to destroy President Obama or any Democrat who is president any way they can....

Republicans don't care that the insurance corporations receive billions of our tax dollars every year in health care payments from OUR tax dollars, just as long as it doesn't go to the workers, who are the tax payers Republicans want the tax dollars to go to their insurance coroporations instead....

Republicans are greedy selfish lying slime. always have been always will be!

6. The coda with the Teabagger
is classic. "No, I don't need facts to have an opinion". Teh crazy and stoopid is strong within him...

Boehner needs a garlic milkshake brain enema. Perhaps his government health insurance will cover that?

7. Mr. Teabagger guy at the end is right...
There is waste in Medicare but there is also waste in the overall system which is one reason why reform is so badly needed. A major part of how to pay for reform is by dealing with waste in the system.

He is also correct that you do not need facts to have an opinion. He is correct in that statement. Mr. Teabagger guy, you summed up your credibility on the subject by your being so right on that point.

8. Boehner is from a District just north of me
Edited on Tue Oct-06-09 03:02 PM by liam_laddie
and here's my note to him via the Stand Up America PAC e-mail request:

"Rep. Boehner - I am a Cincinnatian; were you my representative, I would work my butt off to see you ejected from your seat. You, and all the liars with you, are scum not to support the Public Option. You are interested ONLY in republican party power and lobbyist money, and COULD CARE LESS what is the best policy for the citizens of your district, much less the entire country. Have you no shame? I didn't think so...
Disgusted with your lies,
xxxxxxxxx"

12. It is great to see, but it's shame that it's only on YouTube
The MSM should be covering this but the only way they would is if some windows were smashed.
