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.

The back can say "I once was lost."

Over here, John! Over here!

"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?


The public option is more popular among REPUBLICANS (4.00 / 1)
...than the Republican party is among AMERICANS.

Do you support or oppose giving people the option of being covered by a government health insurance plan that would compete with private plans?

Republicans: 36% support, 58% oppose
(Democrats: 81% support, 11% oppose
Independents: 59% support, 37% oppose
Total: 61% support, 34% oppose)

Is your opinion of the Republican Party favorable, unfavorable, or haven't you heard enough about it?

Total: 25% favorable, 53% unfavorable
