Blitzer asked him two questions. When will you liberals start being honest? Just because you put one of the two questions in bold doesn't mean that the other one doesn't exist. Are you guys really this desperate to slime people in the GOP? Absolutely pathetic. Oh God. Blitzer asked him two questions. When will you liberals start being honest?

And their children? Boner's defenders say, to be fair, he was talking about both, money and lives. Nice backpeddle! The continued waste of lives AND money should not be allowed. One life lost is too many. These are human beings, not numbers on a pie chart. How is living during WWIII going to make our children safer? And their children?

I'm not asking much--I can make do with a mere $100/week. Okay--sarcasm mode off. How much of our country's infrastructure (roads, bridges, levees, dams, etc) could be helped from that "small sacrifice"? Terrorism, Mr Boehner, has been around for well over a century (and some might argue it's been around since the beginning but in its use to attempt some sort of political change, it's only been about 150 years or so), and NO AMOUNT of money (no matter how "small" the "sacrifice") is going to make it go away completely. As long as someone has a political grievance that is ignored by those in power, terror will be a weapon of choice or as long as those with power fear change, terror will be a weapon of choice. (To expound on that latter point, dictators RARELY operate without incorporating some form of terrorist force, often in the guise of "security forces" or, more aptly described, "secret police".)
