He is right, we do have some wimps on our side.

I think that tanning bed has baked John Boehner's brain. If I look hard enough I can see the puppet strings on his back. It's a shame that being a congressman, that "wimps" is the best intellectual arguement he can muster. It's that same mentality that dominated the decision makers that lead us into this situation.

I noticed that my senator, kit bond actually made a negative statement about the iraq fiasco, just a few weeks ago he was standing firmly with bush as he has on all issues, reckon he's finally reading the mail from his constituents, he is up for re-election in 08, if he has abandoned bush I have to wonder how many hardcore partisan repubs have also seen the writing on the wall, I suspect the next vote concerning iraq will show more repubs siding with the dem's

John Boehner is the biggest smart a$$ you will ever meet. He smokes like a chemney, even in the tanning bed. He is arogent and selfish. Whimp is the politest word he ever uses.

Wimp?---now where is that video of him boo-hooing and getting his pancake makeup all streaky?You know,the one where his blood shot eyes looked like he was having a major hangover?

lugar ,domenichichi,and all the rest here on gilligans isle,soon jerry it will be you and george and dick then what are you going to do when they send you to iraq because they sure as hell wont go

Wimps are the lawmakers that gave Bush carte blanch in the first place. Yes they were lied to, but it was their duty to find the truth before giving Bush a loaded gun.

Wimps are the military leaders that just shut up when Shinseki said securing (not taking) Iraq would take over 300,000 troops at that time. Wimps are the generals that quietly obeyed Rummy’s order not to plan.

Wimps are the so-called leaders that are supposed to protect us and today we find out Al-Qaeda is stronger than it was on 9/11. How’s that for a metric in how successful our war in Iraq has been? Al-Qaeda only had training in remote camps, but now (thanks to us!) they have urban training grounds all over Iraq where they are surely preparing some nice surprises for our cities.

Wimps are every POS Republican still blindly backing Bush in spite of the clear facts: we fucked up Iraq, we lost Iraq, and we are now less safe because of Iraq. As alcoholics know, the first step to solve problem is to admit you have a problem. Admit it – we fucked up! It seems that Mitch McConnell (I wonder what Rove has on him?) and the rest of his 29% are going to go down with the ship; the only problem is that it is our ship and they want to drag us right down with them.

In the end we will all have to admit to being wimps ourselves. Until millions descend on Washington (or hold marches elsewhere) and protest our government that is in the hands of special interests (both parties, except Democrats still try to pretend it is not true while Republicans are proud of being bought and flaunt it – sometimes all the way to jail like Duke Cunningham). This applies not just to this crazy “war”, also to healthcare, taxes, social security, immigration, and many other issues. If we don’t make them hear us soon, then we will be the wimps that let them get away with murder.

I'm surprised he could pull his head out of the ignorant cowboys butt long enough to make a statement!

Whimps are people like you DefendOurConstitution that hide on a damn blog. Say some of that BS to a persons face that disagrees with your assessment. For the record Lugar is past his prime like a lot of those idiots.

John Boehner is the same fool that was handing out lobbyist checks from Big Tabacco on the house floor a few years back and now he is in the GOP leadership. This guy has no credibility. He is a sad, sad man.

John Boehner is no different from those idiot talk-show freaks like Mark Levin who refer to decent men such as John Murtha 'lard***'. Oh, real classy. Then again... class isn't something to be expected from ignorant right-wing chickenhawks.

Nancy pelosey had to designate a smoking area for him in the white house. Ohio has no smoking laws in any public building. Wash. DC is suppose to have the same laws. More double standards. I know one thing Ohio will never vote him back in. He is like bush, too stupid to understand this, until its too late.

If Boehner is so tough, let him grab a gun and go fight...or send his son.  Walk the walk or STFU.

The designated smoking area is the National Democratic Club.  See, Rebuplicans banned the cigs at their club, so now Boehner has to sneak over to the Democratic Club for his smokes.

Here's a little quote:

Tom Jolly, a Democratic lobbyist and a member of the club, says he assumed the Democratic Club could get away with smoking... in this city.

"If you're a Republican, you assume the D.C. government is going to go after you hard. And if you're a Democrat, that they're just going to wink and look the other way," he said with a laugh.

Ain't it the truth.

winkin blinking and nod keep the country split just how we like it

Washington Dc Smoker, Thanks for the info. I didn't know all the details.

The "wimps" in question are generally tending to be Republicans in vulnerable districts or States. If they don't at least put up a pretense of breaking with Bush on Iraq they will have zero chance of re-election. Once the election cycle is over they will either go right back to viewing their constituant's views with contempt or -more likely- they will be out of a job.  

Name calling --- Republicans don't do that do they? I wouldn't call other people names if I had a name like John Boehner.  So much you can do with it.  Commit a Boehner. Boehner headed. Wimpy Boehner.

Boehner never served a day in the military!  He knows nothing about what its really like, he is a big puppet and jerk

We were lied to get into Iraq, its a big mess and breeding more hate towards us.  The soldiers are in the middle of a civil war, Turks are threatening 140,000 soldiers up north.  Bush has gotten us into a big mess.  He is the worst president ever!!  

What I call a wimp, to respond to Boehner, is someone that gets a deferrment from a third party to do national guard duty and then skips out on that too.  Does anyone know who that mystery person is, our current president.  Where was Boehner during Vietnam???  He is in the age range where he would have had to go if he did not hide behind his mommas dress and shirk his duty.  HE is a buffon.

No problem.

Let them get into uniforms and go to the front line. None would including the president or his family. They are the wimps.

John Boehner is gonna go up in flames like one of the cigarettes he smokes.  

Decent men as John Murtha????  A man who should be investigated for getting 23 million dollars to a drug intelligence center that is shutting down?  The same man who was caught up in the abscam stuff in the 80's.  A man who threatened another house member?  John Murtha is about as honorable as a mafia thug!  he has no business dealing with the people's business.  And what's worse, a marine that got his butt whipped by Nancy Pelosi.  He knows who the REAL gunnary sergant of the democratic party is!

Boener's just an ass.  As for "waiting  for the generals to tell us what to do"---Bush fired all the ones who told him the truth, and kept the suck-ups.
And, besides, arent' we supposed to be a CIVILIAN government?!?  Since when did the military tell us what our policies should be?

Tell you what Jackson,
I'll meet you on the mall in DC on September 15th, before the march for impeachment, to tell you my differing opinion.  Speaking of people who hide on blogs... is Houston Jackson your name?  Are you a Jackson that lives in Houston or a Houston who lives in Jackson?  You know your moniker is kinda hidden.  I also love how Jerry (who is really Larry the Cable Guy) puts down the first legislator calling for redeployment.  I guess the lemming repuplicants don't like forward and reasonable thinkers.  Know wonder they're going to become the also rans in 2008.
