In Case You Missed It:
House Republican Leader John Boehner (R-OH)
Rep. Boehner: “The Democrats running for President will help us as much as the Democrats in Congress. The primaries are far from over, but all you have to do is look at the frontrunners. They’re all pushing for the same thing: higher taxes, big government health care, and frankly, weakened national security.” (Rep. John Boehner,
Remarks At RNC Winter Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1/17/08)
Rep. Boehner: “You look at Senator Clinton – even Democrats have decided they’re not quite sure whether they want to trust her. She’s proposed more than $800 billion in new government spending. She’d force every one of us into some kind of a government-run health program. And she said, ‘I have a million ideas. But I don’t think we can afford all of them.’ No kidding.” (Rep. John Boehner, Remarks At RNC Winter Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1/17/08)
Rep. Boehner: “You know two months ago, she [Sen. Clinton] goes out to Nevada right before their caucus, which is supposed to happen Saturday … And she made it clear that when it comes to Yucca Mountain and the nuclear storage facility, if she gets elected it would never, ever happen. Of course, she decided to miss two hearings on Yucca Mountain in 2006. But yet she’s willing to take Yucca Mountain completely off the table. More proof that Hillary Clinton will say anything in order to get elected.” (Rep. John Boehner, Remarks At RNC Winter Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1/17/08)
Rep. Boehner: “If you look at Senator Obama, he’s been here in the United States Senate three years. And what’s been his central activity for each of the last three years? Running for President. He’s spent his entire career getting himself ready to run for President. He voted for the largest tax hike in the history of the country. He voted against vital funding for our men and women in harm’s way. And I don’t think this is the change the American people are looking for.” (Rep. John Boehner, Remarks At RNC Winter Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1/17/08)
Rep. Boehner: “The Democrats only seem to see a failed America – they think we need to pay more taxes, they think we need larger bureaucracies here in Washington, and they think that we need to withdraw from the world stage. I think the more the American people hear that message, the more I think they’re going to reject it.” (Rep. John Boehner, Remarks At RNC Winter Meeting, Washington, D.C., 1/17/08)
