I bet he’s never read the Constitution, either.

Is he really “mocking” it, or just telling the truth?

I think he has a point about suggesting it be one page. Why can’t they just have a list of “bullet points” that express what the party principles are? The trouble with platforms is the same problem we have with legislation. It is written by lawyers with lengthy “legalize” and the lawyers get paid large hourly fees for making it as long and complicated as they can.

Boehner is increasingly demonstrating to everybody that he is a wolf in the fold, a Bob Dole in the House, whose sole purpose is to thwart any conservative advance and to help democrats.

He is not right. One page is too long.

Hasn’t Boehner ever heard about being a team player and trying to win? What is the purpose of this statement?

He’s evading the question by changing the subject. It’s a habit of liberals.

“I think he has a point about suggesting it be one page. Why can’t they just have a list of “bullet points” that express what the party principles are?”

You’re absolutely right. There is lots of evidence out there that suggests that, generally, people glance at things and make a snap decision whether or not they’re going to spend time looking something over. One page with bullets would increase the likelhood of people reading the document.

“I’ve not met ever anybody.”

Is that an exact quote? Is he drunk again or did he have a stroke?

He should RESIGN! His poor comprehension of the English language will cost us the election!

RNC you must cut off his funding NOW! We can’t have idiots speaking to reporters this way. It’s his own fault, he’s too stupid to be on the ballot.

(sarcasm off/)

I think Michele Bachmann would be a good choice for speaker. If she’s effective there, it certainly raises her credibility for bigger things.

The only reason I participate with the Republican’s is the PLATFORM. We have worked hard locally and statewide to trim the PLATFORM’S to 1 page. The Dem’s platform in Washington State runs 26+ pages.

The platform is the soul of the party, Boehner is a fool.
