John Boehner: Out of Touch with the Real America

Julia Bodeeb
John Boehner is a member of an all male country club. He just doesn't understand the real America. In the real America country clubs are open to all and do not discriminate on sex, race, or religion. In John Boehner's America, elitism rules and rich men don't care about equal rights for women. Women will be rushing out in droves to vote against Boehner on November 2, 2010.

Only 15% of People in Ohio Respect John Boehner

People in Ohio are fed up with Boehner. Cincinatti.com reports that a NYTimes/CBS poll showed that only 15 percent of people in Ohio have a "favorable" opinion of John Boehner. Boehner can't even get a strong showing in his home state. America is sick of sleazy politicians who care more about big business than people.

John Boehner: Chain Smoker & Friend to Tobacco Companies

John Boehner is also a smoker and he's passed out checks from tobacco lobbyists to Republican members of Congress while the House was in session. Why does Boehner smoke? Can't he understand that smoking is linked to cancer? Is that the kind of man America wants as Speaker of the House? No!

John Boehner is a corporate shill. He fights for big business and could care less about the people of America. He tried to halt development of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. He prefers to let the big corporations and Wall Street screw over Americans.

John Boehner: Wants to Take Benefits Away from Elders

Boehner wants to raise the age to get Social Security or to end the program completely. This heartless idea shows that he does not care about the people in the real America. Most elders rely on Social Security as a safety net to ensure they have adequate money to live. And yet Boehner does not care about their safety. He wants to try to save money by stepping on the backs of the elderly of America.

Boehner also wants to repeal HCR. He is against healthcare reform. This is another example of how John Boehner does not understand the people of America. He is clueless about how families are going bankrupt due to medical bills that are far above what the insurance covers. He doesn't care that due to pre-existing conditions that before HCR many Americans could not even get health insurance. John Boehner wants you to struggle if you get a serious illness like cancer. He does not care that it may wipe out your savings and may cause you to lose your health insurance policy if HCR is repealed.

Boehner has also put up a fight against unemployment insurance. He is trying to rip apart all of the programs that help Americans who are in crisis. John Boehner is a petulant elitist who likes to say NO to keeping Americans safe. He is a detriment to American politics. He is a suck up to big business/

Vote Boehner Out Ohio!

Get out and vote in Ohio. Kick John Boehner out. He is a disgrace to America. He is making a laughingstock of the state of Ohio.

    Hey Julia, pleasure reading your article! Boehner is really disgusting, and I keep trying to tell myself, Naw, he isn't that terrible -- but he is! Why do middle class Americans stick up for these people?
