Boehner must stay as GOP House Leader

If for no other reason than this quote:

"Now, listen, I've voted 'present' two or three times in my entire 25-year political career, where there might have been a conflict of interest and I didn't feel like I should vote," Boehner said. "In Congress, we have a red button, a green button and a yellow button, alright. Green means 'yes,' red means 'no,' and yellow means you're a chicken shit. And the last thing we need in the White House, in the oval office, behind that big desk, is some chickenshit who wants to push this yellow button."

What's he talking about? The fact that Obama voted 'present' 129 times as a State Senator in Illinois. Now if you click on my link above from factcheck, they go on to tell you he voted present only 3% of the time. That may be true, but these 'present' votes weren't for just anything. They were for very serious legislation. For example:

"...in 1997, Obama voted "present" on two bills (HB 382 and SB 230) that would have prohibited a procedure often referred to as partial birth abortion. He also voted "present" on SB 71, which lowered the first offense of carrying a concealed weapon from a felony to a misdemeanor and raised the penalty of subsequent offenses.

In 1999, Obama voted "present" on SB 759, a bill that required mandatory adult prosecution for firing a gun on or near school grounds. The bill passed the state Senate 52-1. Also in 1999, Obama voted "present" on HB 854 that protected the privacy of sex-abuse victims by allowing petitions to have the trial records sealed. He was the only member to not support the bill."

It goes on and on if you'd like to see a bit more.

What a chickenshit.
