Boehner Gives Emotional Speech as House Goes Repub
FOX

Posted on 11/02/2010 9:11:02 PM PDT by what's up

Boehner congratulates the American people for voting right in these elections. As he speaks of his background where he worked liked crazy at odd jobs to make his way and the loss of American core values in America, he breaks down several times.

Boehner has had the confidence of the GOP House members because they find him trustworthy and his conservative bona fides are solid. I think he's going to do the US proud.

(BTW...I saw Boehner break down publicly two other times...once when he was terribly upset about the Dems blocking funding for our troops...the other when he was speaking at Ronald Reagan's funeral.)

This isn’t about Boehner and his career. This is about saving the country. As for the speakership, may the best conservative win.

Well that’s all very nice, John, but you’d BETTER begin the hearings on the thuggery and criminality of the Hussein regime IMMEDIATELY upon taking power. Otherwise, you’ll go down to defeat in two years.

My dad worked with him many, many, many years ago -and the restaurant/tavern, I believe called “Andy’s” he mentioned (that his dad owned) is one that my grandpa used to hang out at, sometimes...

John Boehner is the MAN!

Thank God we are fortunately enough to have people like JB willing to totally give of themselves to straighten the course of America!

2012 is beginning to look SWEEEEET!

I wanted a show of strength -- not sniffles.

He got me a little teary eyed too, but then again I’m a sucker when someone else cries. It’s like an instant trigger for me-lol.

I just had a bad thought. The President has asked for a Press Conference tomorrow, do I have to listen?

I actually think way more of him now.

Small town Ohio boy from a family of 11 kids made it big and he is overwhelmed .

Good for him.

Damn it sir, don't give in, don't compromise, don't SCREW THIS UP.


Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Ditto to what you said. I believe he was being very sincere.

Let’s just hold him to it.

It’s OUR job to show strength.

I have been telling people at work all day, that your job isnt over by casting a ballot. It’s just begun.
It is up to YOU the constituent to keep your representative on track!

John, remember the passion you feel today. Remember the intensity, remember the fear, remember where we were.....Remember and fight. And we will be behind you all the way.

I maybe wrong because I watched these fools, and just like the self-congratulating old elites of the GOP, Boehner like the rest of them never mentions the Tea Party.
