Boehner: The American Public Will ‘Hang’ Nancy Pelosi
Boehner: The American Public Will ‘Hang’ Nancy Pelosi
House Republicans are incensed that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) refuses to cave to their political grandstanding and call Congress back into session. The GOP has promised to continue pushing for oil drilling until the Democratic convention in late August.
There’s no question that the conservative rhetoric surrounding their political stunt has been hyperbolic. Earlier this week, Rep. John Shadegg (R-AZ) called it the “2008 version of the Boston Tea Party.” Rep. Don Manzullo (R-IL) called it “America’s greatest hour.” But House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) today went a step further, ratcheting up violent rhetoric to rail against Pelosi. The Crypt reports:
Responding to questions over whether Pelosi could call a special session - which Democrats insist won’t happen - and vote on other issues that Republicans may not want to face, such as an expansion of childrens’ health insurance programs, which President Bush and GOP congressional leaders have opposed.
“She’s gonna bring us back and not deal with it? The American people are gonna hang her,” Boehner said. When pressed further, Boehner said it would “be fine, as long as we get a vote on our bill.”
Conservatives have also taken to calling Pelosi “Marie Antoinette,” the French queen who is portrayed in history as having ignored the suffering masses. She was eventually beheaded. TechRepublican has referred to the debacle as a “revolution.”
Boehner did not include Bush, who has also refused to call an emergency session of Congress, in his hanging statement. Ironically, Boehner has also been absent for this “revolution,” spending time at home golfing while his colleagues have been in the Capitol.
Mr. Boehner's comments about the Speaker are offensive, inappropriate and deliberately misleading.First of all, no public official should use language implying bodily harm to anyone, whether they are referring to the Speaker of the House or any other American. That is completely outrageous.
Secondly, the minority leader knows full well that the Republican Congress and President Bush have spent their entire political capital defending oil companies and keeping America dependent on oil. They wound up in the minority as a result. They have now voted against or vetoed nearly every single effort Democrats have put forward over the past two years to make America more energy efficient and less reliant on foreign oil, steps that are necessary to grow our economy and save consumers money.

The American people will hang Nancy, but for a different reason... TREASON!

August 8th, 2008 at 5:38 pm“She’s gonna bring us back and not deal with it? The American people are gonna hang her,” Boehner said. When pressed further, Boehner said it would “be fine, as long as we get a vote on our bill.”
No , teary-eyed boy
We're going to hang her for not impeaching Chimpy and Cheney , jackass.........
August 8th, 2008 at 5:38 pmBoehner's republican party = The New Castrati
August 8th, 2008 at 5:38 pmAh, but where is the sharp but funny DNC ad making fun of this cretin? Where is the sarcasm, wit and (in this case well deserved) scorn and ridicule for the Republicans and the Boner in particular?
August 8th, 2008 at 5:39 pmAmerican's already want to string up Pelosi. The main reason being her refusal to put impeachment "back on the table" after so much evidence that Bush and his criminal cronies have committed high crimes!
August 8th, 2008 at 5:42 pmSmarmy hypocritical barstid. I wish he'd drop dead.
August 8th, 2008 at 5:43 pmIf I were a part of the republican Kabuki theater in D.C. right now, I would really be worried.
At the rate that oil prices are declining, they may soon end up in the same boat as the doctor who delayed a patient's appointment so long that they got better all by themselves.
Imagine the embarrassment if Boehner has to stand up in front of the cameras after they have to call off their stunt when the price per barrel dips below $100.
Just like the famous SNL character, poor John will have to say, "Never mind". I am sure that will bring him to tears.
August 8th, 2008 at 5:44 pm"'The American people are gonna hang her,' Boehner said."
He is absolutely right! Pelosi is gone! But not because she won't listen to Boner and the Prostates but because she won't listen to the true concerned citizens. She traded Impeachment and George WTF for Rethulican favors and lost her ass long before next November.

Hey Yo Think Progress!!
HOW DARE YOU NOT report on the biggest political news of the day
Maybe since Edwards is a private citizen, TP thinks that it is none of it's business what Edwards does in private.
But, I'm happy to talk about Edward's sin of adultery. But if we start doing that, then I think that we need to have a thorough discussion about John McCain's adultery while his crippled wife sat at home after waiting for him for five years. At least John didn't abandon his wife the way McCain did.
August 8th, 2008 at 5:46 pmAh, but Tom, when the price of oil is below $100 by the end of this stunt, then Boner will take credit for the drop and claim that they Have to Drill Here, Drill Now to keep it low.
August 8th, 2008 at 5:47 pm#John Kerry Says:
Pelosi, like Reid, Edwards, Kerry, etc are nothing but elitist who are finally seeing their reigns end!! And , at 9% approval rating, the Dem lead Congress is on the way out!

August 8th, 2008 at 5:59 pmNothing like the use of sockpuppets to carp about Edwards' affair, eh Tanqueray?
But more importantly, why has Bush refused to call an emergency session and why is he not a traitor to his Republican "revolution"?
August 8th, 2008 at 6:01 pmTanqueray Says:
What does Rove have on that traitor Pelosi? Does he know who the father of Edwards “love child” is, and does Pelosi have anything to do with it?
Oops! You failed to make one lick of sense as usual.
But that's all we can expect from Repukes, total idiotic nonsense.
Go sell it to some inbred dumbfcuk, that shit don't fly here.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:01 pmGrandstanding from a limp boner, how ironic.
Dumbya don't give a lick what happens from now on.
His lameness is legendary.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:04 pmdon’t change the subject to McCain…aight?!
Low clinging fruit like you doesn't get to decide the fate of the tree from which you seek shelter.
Eat my fcuk, moron.
Edwards screwed up, but McCain can't seem to stop screwing up.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:06 pmThere's something in the air. It smells like...yes, I think it is...it's...it's...it's Republican Desperation!
August 8th, 2008 at 6:06 pmSo, please, Dildo, talk about this BAGGAGE and don’t change the subject to McCain…aight?!
Why don't you talk about BOEHNER's baggage (as it is the topic of this thread) and don't change the subject to Edwards... unless you also want to discuss McCain, Newt, Vitter, et al.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:07 pm"The American people are gonna hang her,” Boehner said.
Not if we get to your first, a$$ munch.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:09 pmConsidering that they have committed TREASON against the USA, the American public should be getting the military to hang
Bush and Cheney for TREASON in "wartime".

August 8th, 2008 at 6:12 pm"Don't change the subject to McCain"?
Well, that is rich -considering the topic of the thread is the Republican grandstanding.
On topic, it is interesting that Republicans compare Pelosi to Marie Antoinette. That would make the Republicans, what, the Jacobins? I thought they couldn't stand the French.
Although it would be fitting, since the Jacobins also tried to control the populace through the use of fear...
August 8th, 2008 at 6:13 pmDear troll,
You don't get to decide the topic of the threads. This thread, for instance, is about the disingenuous Rep reps and their panic to give the oil industry new leases before they lose their power altogether.
The last time I checked Mr. Edwards wasn't running for anything or setting policy and didn't figure in Today's discussion of energy policy.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:13 pmIt is smelling increasingly desperate from the Repugs aisle. I think maybe they are realizing that the American public knows that their God Bush is a POS loser. And that crusty old bastard running for President can't carry a thought in a bucket.
They are feeling irrelevant and impotent. As well they should.

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
August 8th, 2008 at 6:17 pmAnd I still can't figure out why the Republicriminals thought they needed a special session, on Friday, when they had blocked similar legislation on Wednesday.
I also find it highly suspicious that the screaming didn't begin until Flippy McSpin started chanting "drill here, drill now".
August 8th, 2008 at 6:19 pmMyNameIsJonas... talk about changing subjects, did you notice this story is about Boehner and his stage of stooges? It was never about John Edwards.
But to give you even an ounce of the respect you undoubtedly would never give naturally, I doubt anyone here will make excuses or "forgive" John Edwards. His actions were reprehesible and my heart goes out to his wife and family. But once again you hypocritical "moralists" are all about calling as many kettles black as you can. Were you all over the boards when your buddy Larry Craig was looking for love in all the wrong places? How 'bout for Mark Foley? You guys get your panties in such a wad when someone other than you is getting sex...
You should reevaluate your priorities, "my friend". Seems to me you bible thumping, judgemental hypocrites should spend a lot more time in church asking your God to forgive you for supporting the men responsible for the torture, murder, corruption etc. that has destroyed the moral fabric and reputation of this country. You better hope he's a bleeding heart liberal like those you love to hate.

My, oh, my! What filthy, profane ways of communicating all you leftarded progressives have! Some one (your moms) should wash your collective mouths out with some soap!
I’m going to translate what the gist of all the comments from crybaby whiner-progs like Max-1, Pete, Gregor Samsa, MCMetal et al boil down to:
“We are too dumb and scared to take the challenge in post number six and even try to defend the misconduct of our hero-progressive, John Edwards. That’s why we make up ludicrous BS-excuses like changing the subject or improperly reminding others what the real topic of this thread is (Pelosi and Dem-congress obstuctionism, right?). Despite the fact that post six called out TP on its hypocrisy of hiding the biggest scandal of the year in the John Edwards fiasco, we all act defensively and start name-calling the brave soul in post number six.”
Hahahahahaha…..when will a progressive here grow a set of test*cles and finally even try to defend Edwards’ behavior?! I’m waiting…
MURDERER Bush is a COXUKCER punk TRAITOR to the USA.
McLunatic is ANOTHER. A LIAR and a silver-spoon little PUNK.

August 8th, 2008 at 6:32 pmMiddle-school taunts?
Wow... this troll is seriously retarded...
August 8th, 2008 at 6:33 pmEdwards now has something in common with McGrampa....they both cheated on their first wife.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:36 pmHey MyName,
Why would we want to defend his actions. He was wrong and we admit it, as is Wm. Jefferson.
But you Repugs still try to prop up Craig, DeLay, the Newter, Visser, Foley, Stevens, Young, the Dukester, Lewis, et al.
Now that shows a lot of hypocrisy, not to mention a total lack of testosterone.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:39 pmI thought this was the "GOP are trying to hang on to their last shards of relevance" thread and not the "John Edwards is a liar and adulterer" thread. If I were a "conservative" I suppose I would be angry and frustrated, too, if I found myself on a Friday evening logged-on to left-leaning blogs to defend the carcass of a party that was destroyed by Bush, Rove and the neocons.

That's rich, like a shit sandwich.
Nothing against gays, just the lying sacks of shit who deny they are.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:47 pmI have long tried to give Nancy Pelosi the benefit of the doubt; I assume she took impeachment off the table because she believed it would either fail, or that Bush would simply pardon everybody involved. I have faith there will be criminal indictments handed out aplenty once the lunatics are out of the White House - and if Bush and Cheney choose to leave the country to avoid being arrested, so much the better. I kinda like the idea of the two of them forced into exile.
I could be wrong - Ms. Pelosi may be just utterly out of touch with sentiments beyond the Beltway. Nevertheless, the idea that the electorate will 'hang' her for refusing to go along with Republican wingnut grandstanding is so ridiculous it makes me laugh out loud. What world is Boehner living in, anyway? Geez, what an optimist...
August 8th, 2008 at 6:48 pmCrybaby gets tough.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:49 pmIn related news. Mr. Boner, tearfully, announced that he found the "real killer" kneeling behind the bushes on the 13th hole.
August 8th, 2008 at 6:59 pmCalling the first woman Speaker of the House, an elected and accomplished grandmother, "Marie Antoinette" is beneath comtempt. The man just spews sewage for a living, all over the country he's supposed to serve.
August 8th, 2008 at 7:01 pm#47 cmac,
Pelosi took impeachment "off the table" because keeping it on the table would expose her as being "IN" on torture and treason. She's been briefed on the torture and the spying of Americans and yet has refused to support and defend the principles and morals of the Constitution and honor her Oath to her constituents and as House Speaker, to the Nation.
Impeachment proceedings against Bush WILL BAR HIM from presumptively pardoning "other people" involved in the High Crimes of this Administration. Know this, Bush can not pardon those under investigation... only AFTER. However, currently he could issue a preemptive pardons for these criminals because they were "acting in accordance to National Security." This includes those who penned TORTURE, SPYING, and misappropriation of intelligence to start TWO wars! There is no investigation currently... Mukasey has refused to take up ANY toward this Administration.
PELOSI is the House's Presidential Protectorate,
Conyers is her House Slave...
Mukasey is the DOJ's Presidential Protectorate.
We really need to be asking...
WHY DOES PELOSI PROTECT TREASON?

I saw McCain's campaigns response to John Edward's marital infidelity was "No comment"
I thought there's a mature adult response and my opinion of McCain ticked up a notch. I had forgotten his own story of marital infidelity (which the corporate media never talks about).
August 8th, 2008 at 7:15 pmMCCAIN CAN'T COMMENT BECAUSE HE'S DONE THE SAME THING (BUT WORSE).
Karl Rove's dance partner, David Gregory opened his show with
"WILL JOHN EDWARD'S AFFAIR CAUSE A PROBLEM FOR OBAMA?"
It seems to me that bringing this up won't hurt Obama, it will open up discussion of McCain's character.
As I said before, Max-1, I'm still giving her the benefit of the doubt. Conviction requires a two-thirds vote of the Senate, so it's likely that any impeachment would result in an acquittal. Afterwards, of course, Bush would be free to issue his pardons.
August 8th, 2008 at 7:17 pmHell yes, rep. Miller:
the minority leader knows full well that the Republican Congress and President Bush have spent their entire political capital defending oil companies and keeping America dependent on oil.

August 8th, 2008 at 7:31 pm#54 cmac,
And as I've said before, without an investigation how can a jury even deliberate? Hell, you can't even hold court without a proper investigation.
WHAT KIND OF PROSECUTION HANGS IT'S HAT ON IF A JURY WILL CONVICT?
And should there be an investigation and impeachment from the House, at least HISTORY BOOKS will then be pleat with evidence that the People attempted to do something. At this stage of the "game" I see you still making the case that the trial depends on the jury's verdict... a cart before the horse.
I say, let the Senate discuss why usurpation of Congress is acceptable!
I say, let the Senate discuss how lying to the Senate is acceptable!
I say, let the Senate discuss the disdain for the Rule of Law as being an American Principle!
Yes, I'll give you your argument. Many in the Senate are beholden to $$$ and protect the BushCo. I say, let the cleansing light in. Why keep arguing to keep them shielded from exposure.
Currently, Bush can still issue pardons... presumptively. How is this any different than your argument that after an acquittal he could?
.
August 8th, 2008 at 7:32 pmp.s.
August 8th, 2008 at 7:36 pmcmac,
And then at least then we'll have them on record and know who supports the usurpation of Congress, Lying, Fraud, Murder, Disdain for the Rule of Law... unamerican principles.
With all this Marie Antoinette and Boston Tea Party pap these clowns look like they're doing a dramatic reenactment of Pat Buchanan's wet dreams.
August 8th, 2008 at 7:47 pmHe probably meant that she's better hung than he!
August 8th, 2008 at 7:48 pmDon't answer any of the trolls question until it offers an explanation for why the Republicriminals are lying about the urgency of drilling.
I'm out.
August 8th, 2008 at 7:56 pmThis idiot can't even see the irony in the fact he's spending all his time golfing during all of this.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:01 pmBoner is drunk again.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:04 pmWell, I don't think it's appropriate to call for "hanging" someone, but I find it kind of ironic that the Republicans are experiencing some frustration with Madame Speaker.
Maybe now they know how we feel -- we've been frustrated with her and many of the other Congressional Democrats for about a year and a half now.
That said, I suspect the Republicans really don't care if offshore drilling gets green-lighted or not (except the ones who really depend on money from big oil) -- they know it's not going to affect gas prices. But they DO care about getting re-elected, and they have finally found an issue they can make a lot of noise about.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:13 pmBoner dipped in oil.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:24 pmI like it so much better when the GOP does a walk-out not a sit-in.
August 8th, 2008 at 8:59 pmI'm so sick of these bastards - republicans AND democrats. Ignore murder & treason but talking shit is unacceptable.
August 8th, 2008 at 9:07 pmOil prices dipped another $5.00 Today WITHOUT DRILLING. Demand is down and supplies are steady or growing. The oil industry is sitting on capped wells and unused leases. They are not investing in extra refineries to process these new sources, which won't be on line for years.
Why are the Republicriminals lying about an urgent need to give out additional leases?
August 8th, 2008 at 9:11 pmVery ironic, because Boehner and his conservatives would have supported the royalty and the Old Regime...

August 8th, 2008 at 9:23 pmhttp://www.globalresourcecorp.com/Applications_Capped_Stripper_Oil_Wells.asp
Though I'm sure you'll just claim partisanship, or some other reason to discount this single source which I just selected because it was the first relevant post on Google, consider this.
Even if this source is drastically wrong, by a factor of 100, that results in around 4,000 capped wells.
And even if there were no capped wells, that's not relevant to the question of why the Reichwing is lying about the urgent need to give the oil industry new leases.
August 8th, 2008 at 9:34 pmIf the GOP wants it, you know it ain't right.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:04 pmI think the American public would cheer if she brought the House back into session and brought impeachment hearings to the fore.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:33 pmDespite you rude refusal to answer a simple question, I feel compelled to offer a bit of an education.
An oil well is typically taken out of production when 35% to 50% of the oil is extracted. Depending on various factors, from the "sweetness" of the oil to the amount of pressure do to natural gas, it eventually becomes less profitable to extract the remaining oil.
Far from not having any oil, these wells contain nearly half of our known reserves. It's just a case of extraction costs. Some could be brought back into production by simply installing a pump head or using a neighboring well to supply gas pressure.
And that doesn't even consider more exotic new technologies that companies like GRC offer. As I said, capped wells have little to do with my arguments reservations about giving the oil industry new leases.
The problem is that the facts don't match the rhetoric. All the evidence suggests that the neocons have manufactured a conflict over drilling to bolster their flagging hopes and they're willing to give in to the oil industry to give the appearance of "doing something". Even from the comfort of the local country club.
August 8th, 2008 at 10:40 pmobamagr8 Says:
And here’s the Big Lie:
The oil industry is sitting on capped wells
Wrong. I lived in Oklahoma in the late seventies, and remember when the wells were capped, because Middle east oil was easier (and cheaper) to extract.
Smaller companies, like Hudson Oil, damn near went out of business, because they were using these leases specifically, and couldn't compete with Mid East oil.

Pelosi is a Left-Leaning Neo-Con is what you are trying to say, correct? The Right tosses around the term Communist and the Left does the same with Fascist. She is under the command of Zionists, Likud, and AIPAC, much the same as Cheney, Bush, and the media. There is no "Left and Right". There is only the Filthy Rich and Everyone else.

August 8th, 2008 at 11:24 pmDid anyone else see that he was playing golf? I guess all the best Republicans need to be on the golf course when they make bold policy statements.
August 8th, 2008 at 11:50 pmIt's a good thing the Internet has a long memory. We'll give them this, then hang them in 10 years with their own words when there will be no effect on the price of gas. I guarantee you will be longing for the days of $4 gas in 10 years, and all the drilling in the world won't help. But go ahead and vote, just be sure to put REPUBLICAN in the name of the bill. No, any talk of drilling is actually an attempt to get reelected, period. "Please don't throw us out of office! We'll give you lower-priced gas. Somehow." Of course, they're too late, it's already back down.
August 9th, 2008 at 12:20 amOver the past twelve years the GOP has had the majority of both houses the majority of the time. For the past eight years they have controlled the executive as well.
What have they done to the positive? What have they been right about during that time or anytime in history? I rest may case with this question, why would we believe anything these thugs say?

Was that supposed to be a rebuttal? You haven't refuted the fact that those capped wells still haven't been touched. Yet you still call it a conspiracy theory.
I didn't realize you were going through life with intellectual blinders on. Far be it from me to burst your bubble. If you want to believe that the Big Oil are the good guys, go ahead - but don't complain about the high cost and scarcity of product.

August 9th, 2008 at 1:19 pmRight, Pelosi, who has been married for 45 years and has five kids, yeah, she's just the epitome of those "SF values" the wingnuts keep harping on about.
I'm surprised the desperation is kicking in so early on the Right, these guys are now lashing out blindly. Sure, Obama's campaign is doing really well while McCain's struggling to figure out how to sell a candidate who frequents sausage restaurants and offers to have his wife strip in public, but even so, you'd think the party that promised itself a permanent majority just a few years ago, wouldn't have imploded so thoroughly.
And yet, they have. Go figure.
August 9th, 2008 at 4:19 pmI keep telling you, Boehner, that the hairspray is for use on your hair . . . not for huffing. Maybe Nancy deserves to be hung, but not before we [the majority of Americans] hang Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Gonzales and several other people connected to the current administration, first. Damn, I can't believe I can't come up with the names of several other people in the Bush cabal, but I'm drawing a blank wight now. We can always hang you too, Boehner, just to break in the rope.
August 9th, 2008 at 6:44 pmBoehner and company want people to send their receipts and stories of high gas prices to Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. Only the Republicans are the abusers in the dark.

August 9th, 2008 at 9:05 pmHow TP dummies are so concerned about this "hang Pelosi" comment, even though there are a plethora of death threats and wishes of physical harm to Republicans on virtually every thread on TP, including this one. Typical left.
Regardless, Pelosi is undoubtedly a horrible speaker. Likely the worst ever with her shameful 9% approval rating.
