“My opinion is born out of my childhood, my faith, my beliefs that marriage is between one woman and one man. I respect other people’s views… Let’s not confuse the issue of DOMA and the administration’s decision that it’s not constitutional. It’s not their role.”
— House Speaker John Boehner on his opposition to marriage equality and the Obama administration’s decision to stop defending DOMA.

They finally told the truth — this is not about debt. If the Speaker and Mr. Ryan are right, why are they feeding us this austerity Kool-Aid all the time? Why are they sabotaging the economy by throwing hundred of thousands of jobs away in the sequestration? Why are they stunting our future by cutting the legs off our R&D programs and the National Institutes of Health? And why are they asking seniors and kids and the sick and the poor to go without health care and food security to pay for a fantasy crisis? Why? Because they have needed an excuse to do what they have been attempting for generations to do and that is disable the safety net, to get rid of Social Security, to get rid of Medicare, to get rid of unemployment, to get of everything that makes a social safety net in a civil society. This charade is built on the fundamental deception that we are on the brink of an economic apocalypse, so the politicians can wipe out programs that people need so that they can give tax breaks to the people at the top.

“We do not have an immediate debt crisis. But we all know that we have one looming. And we have— one looming— because we have entitlement programs that are not sustainable in their current form. They’re gonna go bankrupt. Washington has responsibility— to our seniors and our near seniors— that we firm up these programs so that they’re there for the long term. Because if we don’t do it, not only will they not get benefits, we will have a debt crisis right around the corner. We have time to solve our problems. But we need to do it now.”
— House Speaker John Boehner

No, really. Are Boehner’s legs broken?
He didn’t even stand up for the military.
I can’t see Boehner’s eyes, but I think he might be crying.
Can we just talk about Boehner’s face as the Supreme Court walked in?
Biden’s already got his swag on and Boehner’s face matches his tie. Here we go.
