Boehner: No New Regs!

breathing room for what!!!???

I'll bet he wants to get PAID for sitting motionless like a lump of shit during those 12 months....

Jeez. At least when Newt shut down the Federal government, he worked tireless to cry and whine and obstruct out of a petty personal grievance.

It takes real chutzpah to try to shut down the government before your party even gets into power. And to RUN on a platform of:

"Vote Republican! We'll shut down the Federal government!"

I have a suggestion for the Orange One. One year moratorium on regulations.... Okay Arizona.. you go first.

Ok John, give em hell! Let's especially not have any new regs from the FAA, damn that airplane safety anyway. Nothing from the FDA either, take those new cancer drug evaluations and shove them, we dont need government telling us we could die from the side affects and who needs regulations for our food supply anway? Who needs the TSA? Oh, I forgot, set up by Republicans. And heaven forbid if the FBI decides it needs new ways to fight crime and/terrorism. Let's keep all those agencies on the sidelines.

I'll bet he wants to get PAID for sitting motionless like a lump of shit during those 12 months....

Oh wow. Let's make a new regulation to forbid any new regulations for a year. Hey, this won't work will it? Problem solved.

Wow, no government regs at all. Who would have thought that Boehner was really an ANARCHIST!!

Yeah, then the republi-can'ts wouldn't need to filibuster and could hang out in their lobbyist's man-caves until this minority party thing blows over.

I think having a moratorium on new federal regulations is a great idea...

Because it worked so well for Newt Gingrich...

it sends a wonderful signal to the private sector that they're going to have some breathing room

The poor darlings just have not caught up with the ton of regulation that has been pouring out of Washington for the past 10 years. NOT!

Don't worry - the Republicans will still get plenty of legislating done. Everything that they want to do will be an "emergency", just like every year of the Shrub wars was paid for with an "emergency appropriation".

Either that, or they want to have the schedule clear so they can spend the next two years trying to impeach Obama - the reason's not important, just the circus.

At least Boehner is consistent.

What's his motive? Developing and enforcing meaningful government regulations takes time, thought, and hard work. These requirements are something the rich Republicans like Boehner try to avoid at all consequence....they don't like to work hard.

Just saying no, no, no also means Boehner will have more time to hang out at the martini bar and work on his alcohol induced tan. Boehner is an alcoholic.....they don't tend to be very productive members of society. Boehner needs counseling.

He's feeding the meme of liberal/socialist over-regulation. He has no intention of following through on this.

Funny ting is, the only real businesses that crave this "breathing room" are massive and do tons of business WITH the federal government. These Republicans talk all this trash about small business and small government, but unless small business is getting some sweetheart government hand out or tax break, they are almost totally self regulating.

Homebuilders, electricians, roofers, pavers, heating and ventilating contractors, etc.,etc, have almost zero occasion to think about the federal regulations, They pay taxes off tables that have barely changed in years, code changes are almost all done by state or municipality and usually with industry members sitting on the boards.

Someone should challenge Boner to name one businessperson who can name a specific potential regulation that's preventing expansion or hiring. Why do we argue with these dicks, why not just ask them to tell us what they are actually saying.

They have no point, but we reflexively disagree ideologically and engage in a totally phony, inconsequential argument. Sure it's preposterous to stop all legislative activity, but before we even talk about it we should at least make these pukes say what their proposed idiocy is supposed to accomplish. It's like me proposing a moratorium on police talking to people on the street in order to improve the problems of crime and homelessness. And then blaming ALL crime and homelessness on the people who argue with my idiotic idea.

There is only 1 emergency regulation needed and that is: Tell this A$$hold to shut up.

One year moratorium on tanning salons.

I think all that time in the tanning bed has fried Boner's brain.....

Wait!! Stop everything!! Obama is getting too much done!!! Let's give Bonehead the rest of his life off!!!

Hahahaha!!! These guys are counting their chickens before they are hatched. This Boehner guy is already acting like the Speaker-elect. He's gonna learn a hard lesson the day after November elections.

Nancy Pelosi would still remain the speaker of the House After November.

holy crap, the repubs are consistently out dumbing themselves. Between the half term halfwit and Bachman it's not seeming like a race. Boener has now taken the lead with this one. Does he even think before he opens his mouth? Seriously?

Boehner should propose this at the State level in Ohio, try it out for a year, and let us know how it goes.

Sorry Ohio, for this idea and for having an a-hole senator.

John thinks corpse-rapers need 'breathing room'.

This is a dog whistle.

Translation: we will free up the schedule so that we have plenty of time for tall the impeachin' we have planned.

And these are the guys that are supposed to hand the Dems their hats in November??? Man, I hope all those talking heads making that prediction are wrong. Otherwise, we're in for a rough time. I always thought the book of Revelations in the Bible was interesting reading, but not prophetic. I don't know, now I'm not so sure!!

Hey boner boy!
How about we have a permanent moratorium on your ass you stinking piece of excrement.
The people of Ohio are as dumb as dirt.

Boehner is a perplexing being. It is amazing that he can walk upright without dragging his knuckles on the ground. Can this man get any more stupid? I wonder how the folks in his district can support him for office. What a MORON!!!!

Where was Boehner between 2001-2009 when GWB was the Pres?
That was 8 years of ineffective governance.
