Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking?

Teagan:
"I'm still trying to find the first American who's in favor of the public option, other than a member of Congress or the administration."

-- House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH), quoted by the Middletown Journal.

DiStaso:
The New Hampshire Republican Party will host U.S. House Minority Leader John Boehner at a fund-raiser next month.

...State Republican Party spokesman Ryan Williams said the Boehner fund-raiser will be in Manchester or Concord, with the precise venue yet to be determined.

Are you thinking what I'm thinking?

This is a perfect opportunity to wake John Boehner up and out of his laughable talking point.

I'm thinking OfA, NHDP, Granite State Progress, Blue Hamsters, and everybody and anybody of the 65% of Americans who support a public option ought to show up outside this venue with signs even Boehner's status quo tunnel vision can see.

This could be fun.

UPDATE: The date is set for November 13th.

"trying to find the first American who's in favor of the public option"

If you disagree with them, you are not an American. A big crowd at his appearance? Just so many non-Americans.

Got a birth certificate on you?
