Yarmuth Challenges The Boner

Via The Bridge and Media Czech:

(Washington, DC) This afternoon, Congressman John Yarmuth (KY-3) issued the following statement in response to Minority Leader John Boehner’s (OH-8) assertion that he has yet to meet a regular American who is in favor of the public insurance option.

“There are plenty of average Americans in Louisville who support the public insurance option, and I’d be happy to personally pay for one of them to fly to Washington to tell John Boehner why, if he will agree to meet with them in public,” said Congressman Yarmuth. “Shoot, I’ll pay for John to come to Louisville, if that will make it easier for the Minority Leader.”

Earlier today, Boehner claimed that he was “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.”

Congressman Yarmuth supports the health care reform legislation now before the House which includes a public option.

(jumping up and down, waving hand in the air) Oooh! Oooh! Me! Pick me! I'll even wear some spray-on tan so The Boner will feel at home.

Boner may be telling the truth in that he is often so drunk that he cannot remember where he has been and who he talked to.

If Boner only appears with his 'personal choir' of course he never hears anything he doesn't want to hear.

While chimpy/Smirky/Shrub was president, he appeared only at rallies where everyone was a dues paying, card-carrying, admission-vetted believer who brought its own koolaid.

At our town halls, it's the same people who attended his who are so wealthy that they have nothing else to do except disrupt Congress' attempts at distributing information and disserning intent and needs of the electorate.

How do we present the case of their choir being the cancer, social cancer, infecting our society?
