GOP Republican House Speaker John Boehner Thinks You Are Blind and Stupid!

On Thursday at his weekly Capitol press conference, when Boehner was
queried about President Obama’s support for same-sex marriage, he
restated his opposition to equal rights and told reporters he was “going to stay focused on what the American people want us to stay focused on, and that’s jobs.”
Boehner also characterized the President’s announcement as a
distraction from the nation’s economy, denounced the President’s
congressional “to-do list” as a gimmick, and attacked the President for “diminishing the presidency”
by focusing on his reelection campaign. It is harsh criticism from a
habitual liar and rank hypocrite who is repeating 2010’s campaign
message that Republicans immediately abandoned the second they
controlled the House. Not only have Republicans opposed job creation
measures, their job-killing agenda was a strategy to enrich the wealthy
and their corporations. To make matters worse, Boehner led Republicans
in a vicious assault on women’s rights that besides being hazardous to
women, was a distraction from Republicans’ opposition and inability to
create jobs.

Boehner told reporters that “We’ve got a lot of members who have
ideas about what’s important to them and you see those items advance
here every day. The American people – they’re concerned about jobs.
That’s why you’ve seen us focused here for the last year and a half on
jobs and cutting spending, so we’re going to continue to stay focused on
what the American people want us to stay focused on.” The
congressional record informs what is important to Republicans, and what
they have been intensely focused on is defending the unconstitutional
Defense of Marriage Act, restricting contraception use, assaulting
women’s rights, and sending more Americans into poverty with Draconian
cuts to social safety nets to make room for more tax breaks for the
rich. In fact, last year when Boehner was informed that the first round
of Republican spending cuts would kill over a million jobs, he said, “so
be it.” So much for Boehner’s laser-focus on what matters most to
Americans. The Speaker also boasted that cutting spending to reduce the
deficit was crucial to creating jobs, but there is absolutely no
correlation to the nation’s debt and jobs, and the Republican cuts kill
public and private sector jobs as well as increasing the deficit with
more tax cuts for the wealthy. Boehner is a liar, and he knows he’s
lying when he parrots 2010’s Republican campaign promise to focus on
jobs, jobs, and jobs, and the congressional record proves he is
deliberately lying as a campaign strategy to distract voters from their
real agenda.
