I got 98% of what I wanted, Speaker Boehner

[nadinbrzezinski]

I don't care for the spin here... he is not trying to convince anybody. He comes over as a very tough negotiator.

So wake and smell the coffee... and realize what that is conveying.

I really hate the spin at times here.

1. Yeah, he got the 98%...

...for the 2% who own him.

2. Him Tarzan . . . .

3. Thanks but at this time I believe the Speaker will

1. Take more hostages, it works.

2. Make sure the protected classes are well... protected.

[CakeGrrl]

4. Massive unrec. More respect afforded a Republican than

a President dealing with their crap.

Disgusting.

:puke:

5. No, not disrespect, reality on the message sent

and if you do not get it, I really cannot help you.

The message to the voter is... we are strong... side with us. It has nothing to do with reality or local spin.

I dare say more people heard THAT than they will read DU, or this thread to be specific.

6. Nadine -- you actually feel you got 98% of what you wanted out of this bill?

[nadinbrzezinski]

9. It is not what I feel... it is the MESSAGE he gave

and what it conveys.

7. Translation to rational people = I am a 'big crybaby that gets his way' Bonerman.

Orange Skull came across as a wisky washy suit or at least that is what my RWing relatives think when I asked them...they could be foolin with me.


"My brother WILL destroy you Liberal America!"

8. Thank you boner, for putting that sound bite on tape.

That will surely come back to bite you in the ass in the near future, i.e., YOU and the Teapublicans are 98% responsible for the shit sandwich that was just served up to the U.S. Thanks for making that crystal clear!!

[nadinbrzezinski]

10. And THAT is the bright side of this

Will be harder to run away.

11. May be true, but,

the only things he wanted were 1) get any deal passed so he didn't look like the complete loser he is. and 2) keeping his job as Speaker of the House. The no good, dirty, son of a bitch has lied about everything his entire miserable life, do you expect him to suddenly start telling the truth now?

[nadinbrzezinski]

12. It is what is projected

we may get it here, maybe... but those who listened to the interview on CBS heard, I AM STRONG, join me.

This is so damn basic.

Of course there is the media... and they should have balanced that, but they never do. So here is what people heard...

The non negotiating, conniving children (the way 70% or so of people see them) got what they wanted.

So all the spin here, (and this site did not have as many people readying it as even the third rate and place CBS nighty news, did.

It is partially the big lie at work, but this is what people heard.
