Page 4 - Representative Boehner News Today

Thing. the fact you can be confident there are no surprises in there and it says what you think it says, thats good news for people. i think it should be good politics. >> from the reverse side, even if the gop gives up on the idea and says lets repeal it, what will theyç demonize? >> youve heard representative boehner said it institutionalizes too big to fail. it allows a big bank to to fail. we had aig and lehman. it was very difficult to deal with those banks when they got into a crisis sit...

Sort of benign spotlight on the disconnect, uneasiness or lack of courtesy of our time or is there some other meaning for what is happening here? >> i think this is all being prompted by the lack of civility and by the anger in political debat debates. not just in washington, but in harrisburg, sacramento, albany, springfield. political discourse has become so rigid, so partisan and so unwilling to put heads together and try to do thing thats are for the benefit of the people, that it -- it insp...

Provision. >> specifically written to not be enforced. the great secret of the bill is there is no real mandate. were not supposed to tell people this because then they might not bip the health insurance. >> ive got it now. thats an obama secret army dressed up as irs agents. mr. boehners numbers here that companies are claiming millions in losses, but does that equal job losses, or once again are the republicans representing the idea of the corporate human being? is his best friend mr. chevron?...

And to be honest -- and ive said this before, its tremendously disheartening the level of discourse in america, and whats going on. it seems to be a total breakdown of civility. it seems to be threats, and the threats are not just on one side of the equation, they can be on both sides of the equation. i happened to be on fox when the health care vote was taken, and boehners speech followed by nancy pelosis speech and then the vote. and they came back to me after it passed and i said how good i t...

Deplorable comments, but it speaks to the anger. i want to know why the anger is there. >> i think the anger is not about health care. theres a lot more bubbling over. theres a pot bubbling over. and if this thing passes, i think were going to be exposed to a lot more of this. i think were going to see a lot more of this. >> sabrina, do you think the republicans, would do well to take comments like those, again, that have nothing to do with health care, inexcusable comments that are issued by th...

>> those fbi agents and others acted appropriately. and quite frankly im tiring of politicians using national security issues such as terrorism as a political football. they are going out there. they are unknowing of the facts and theyre making charges and allegations that are not anchored in reality. on christmas night i called a number of senior members of congress. i spoke to senators mcconnell and bond. i spoke to representative boehner and hoekstra. i explained to them that he was in fbi cu...

Lets listen. >> on christmas night, i called a number of senior members of congress. i spoke to senators mcconnell and bond. i spoke to representative boehner and hoekstra. that mr. abdulmutallab was in fact talking, that he was cooperating at that point. they knew that an fbi custody means theres a process you follow as far as mirandizing. none of those individuals raised any concerns with me at that point. they didnt say is he going into military custody, is he going to be mirandized. we told ...

The green rooms what they were saying about george w. bush in 2005 and 2006, being very critical, saying this is not the future that our party needs to go in. of course, they kept that to themselves until george w. bush got out of town. i suspect, though, chuck may be right. i think the conversation about sarah palin will pick up much more quickly in the coming months, simply because this is a party thats out of power that needs to find its standard bearer and its becoming more and more evident ...

I spoke to representative boehner and hoekstra. that mr. abdulmutallab was in fact talking, that he was cooperating at that point. they knew that an fbi custody means theres a process you follow as far as mirandizing. none of those individuals raised any concerns with me at that point. they didnt say is he going into military custody, is he going to be mirandized. we told them they would be informed. >> is there a way to get to an absolute factual determination like a football ref? can you do it...
