A Response to Rep. John Boehner: I’m an American, and I support a Public Option.
PLEASE SHARE THIS VIDEO. On October 1, House Minority Leader John Boehner said in a press availability, “I’m still trying to find the first American to talk to who’s in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration… I’ve not talked to one, and I get to a lot of places and I’ve not had anyone come up to me — I know I’m inviting it — and lobby for the public option.” Well, some of Mr. Boehner’s constituents decided to take him up on his offer and rally outside his district office in West Chester, Ohio, delivering over 1800 signatures of people in his district who support a public option.

@illuminadi well that doesn’t make sense to me.
americans are too dumb because america does a poor job educating history and civics. Thus, the organization of protests for assholes like boehner etc are never realized…unless this changes we are in for some deep shit…!!
This bone head congressman should not be in office. He has no clue to what his voters want. Every time I hear a Tea Bagger interviewed I hear ” I don’t know “. Facts are not important to them.
My friend in Canada laughs at our healthcare system. Even the English lady thinks our system is stupid. Heath care should be a right for everyone. Not just for the rich.
“you don’t need proof if you know the truth!” -some teabag fucker
@why760nitro yr the bad guy
@timmchap35 the voters dont see it that way .you live in a cave ? the DEMS are getting pummeled since last nov . more to come nov3 2010
@photobart1 there are 1,500 signatures on that petition compared to 600,000 people who live within his district. Hmmmmmm that petition doesn’t show anything. Looks like he does what his constituents want since he has been in the house for almost 20 years now. Looks like facts aren’t important to you.
Well GeorgeT if you watched the video many of these folks called his office and wrote letters indicating they wanted a public option before he gave his speech on not knowing anyone that wanted a public option. Mr Boehner chooses to ignore them. Looks like you are not looking at the facts and you are closed minded. If you educate yourself you would find out that in the long run a pubic option would lower your personal health cost and it would lower your employers health costs.
@why760nitro thats because the voters are selfish, ignorant retards!
“your opinion doesn’t have to be based on facts” hahahaha teabagger
it’s nice to know that some of my fellow americans aren’t dingbats. Maybe I won’t have to use my dual citizenship to canada to flee after all.
@photobart1 More than the majority of people in the U.S. have healthcare, but the majority of U.S. citizens wouldnt be considered rich.
TG Even if the 30 – 40 percent who can not get health care due to cost or pre existing condition. That is still not fair they can not get insurance. I am luckiy I was able to afford my $17,000 policy last year. I have Crohns Disease and I might not be able to afford it this year. The policy is very expensive due to a pre existing condition. Business was slower last few years so I am very worried. Nobody will insure me.
@rawgue hmmm thats interesting, cause i know the Europeans are all real experts on the American political tradition, alas you couldn’t be more wrong because studies have shown the Tea Party-ers are more educated and more successful than the general population…..yes why don’t you back it up “some how” while ur wasting away on the stagnant air of a dying culture that relies on America like no other
Boehner’s a jerk
@rawgue aye, thats what Canadians think, French Canadians even have a lower opinion of Americans
@GeorgeThomasandBen1 1,868 was the number they said in this video you just watched they said it more than once!! So now the question is how important are facts to you? And could you please show us proof of the 600,000 number you came up with. If you dont the facts will show you are just making up numbers because the facts dont really mater to you.
@photobart1 what about quality? What about the tax spike? Why do Americans want to strive to be like Europe? Why? I don’t get it. They are failing, and we are just moving to mimic them, it is sad and disappointing.
Also, you obviously like most current modern day liberals don’t understand how our government was set up and how it works. I was making a point that the majority rules!, that’s it. I am not closed minded, I’m very opened minded, so don’t jump to so many conclusions there barty boy.
HC for all vote for public
@intrepidgalaxy LOL tea-martyers intelligent??? XD half of the tea martyrs party don’t know shit about their gov they vote for more dumb asses then a racist for race an just dont want the public option because they know they will lose their rich fortunes to the middle class the era of bush policies is ending an so is them they have no right to subjugate the middle class for their personal rich lives down with the bush laws an change for gov the time of the bush era has ended
@SadCarnage1224 im just quoting the new york times, but it mean, lets just ignore those studies…liberals are good at ignoring studies that don’t corroborate what they say…..but doesn’t it seem so unfair that they feel they have the right to keep what they earn! OH THE HUMANITY! imagine a country founded on economic freedom! wouldn’t that be an abomination…..oh wait……
Mr. Boehner was right in that it WAS very unpopular. According to the polls, even moreso than Hillarycare IIRC.
@PKrockin 100% wrong, you, Boehner, and the GOP are deliberately ignoring polls that show the public option is popular.
And the fact Boehner is not talking to those in his district in favor of the public option shows he’s a status quo shill and not a representative of the American people. The best thing he can do for America is resign.
@GeorgeThomasandBen1 so all the bankruptcy’s that Americans suffer over medical bills a burden we simply have to accept where our single payer counterparts do not? Is that your point?
