House GOP Leader Boehner rails dissenting votes in meeting as being "wimps"
'House GOP leader, Rep. John Boehner of Ohio, was biting in his criticism of Republicans who have parted company with Bush on the war. "Wimps," he called them in closed-door comments confirmed by an aide.'

http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070712/ap_on_go_co/us_iraq in the story


so the SOB is resorting to name calling and brow beating the people who are now siding with antiwar voters in Congress! To verbally assault these brave first Republicans who are realizing the human toll of their previous capitulation to *, is so typical.

Thug tactics. They're getting scared. They're getting angry. They're getting desperate.

1. What would be really funny
would be to hear one of them reply back "Oh, go fuck yourself" in good Cheney style.

2. "Wimps"?
That is too precious, coming from the man that bursts into tears at the drop of a hat.

He covered up. Let's remind everyone of that.

4. They are wimps
They don't oppose the war because it is wrong and illegal, they oppose it because the polls turned negative and they are scared for their own skin.

5. and that may well be the case with most of them
(it's not the case with Sen. Warner, although he wasn't referring to him, obviously), but still, at least they are going against *, and that takes guts for these gutless congressman.

7. I say put Boehner and Webb in the same ring...
...or Tester and Boehner, for that matter, and I suspect we'll find out real fast who the whimp is...

:D
