I hope we see more of this in the coming days.

Question

How come they only posted a 19 second sound bite and didn't post the question and reply on it's entirety and context?

It's obviously a world-wide conspiracy. :rolleyes:

Here's the whole thing. Warning - It has a lot of big, fancy words.

Let's stick to the content of what Boehner said. Taking question and context into account, is it fair to say that Boehner labeled arch conservatives 'false prophets,' or not?

Interest choice of words, false prophet. Does this mean that the GOP is admitting this is indeed a Christian Jihad that is in progress? And why are these crazies called conservatives? Let's call them for what they are, racist bigots.

They get in power by preaching to a base which takes its voting seriously.

The Republican right votes and this is especially effective in modern midterms when the other factions' turn outs are low.

Thus we had "Contract With America" and "Tea Party".

I think it's just the beginning. The guy is really angry and totally fed up. Especially in light of his alcohol problem, there may be many more unguarded and unscripted moments ahead.

"False Prophets"

They push their agenda with an air of piety, in the name of Christ. Yet, realistically, there is darn little Christ-like about an agenda built on pandering to xenophobia, apathy towards the poor and disadvantaged, warmongering and appealing to the boundless greed of self interested Plutocrats. Almost--------NOTHING, in fact.

It'll be interesting to see if he packs 6 months worth of pissing off the Baggers into the next month by passing a clean budget, approving the Im-Ex bank, etc.

Clean budget and debt ceiling increase is a given imo. Ex-Im bank is a probable along with Transpiration. Boeing to China may have been a wake up call. Hope he stays angry the next month. ;)
