Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!Emotions are subjective. Mr. Boehner does have a few to many tears for this traditionalist, however, I fault him not. I cry when I see where we have gone in the last twenty plus months. I served for our country for twenty one years and this is what I fought for? Bailouts, Obama Care, Start Treaty, and on and on. Man, I cry like an angry baby. I then realize we get what we vote for and now I see we are cleaning House. After this past Senate vote we will be cleaning the Senate also. I am sure after reality hits Mr. Boehner he will have had the time to get to serious work or repealing Obama Care , eliminating ear marks and budget issues. If he does not he also can count on being sent home and he can cry there.
WAKE UP AMERICA. WE ARE LOSING OUR COUNTRY FROM WITHIN. THIS INCLUDES THIS ARTICLE, HOW SISSY IT IS WE HAVE BIGGER ISSUES. Let me go find my tissue.
The mentally toughest and physically strongest people I know are the mixed martial artists of the UFC. They are mentally fine tuned to be at their best because quick thinking and intelligence are mandantory to be at the top of their art. Strong minds and strong bodies. They cry frequently as they are overcome by emotions after a win. They talk about their families and friends and cry. Some of them cry more than the new Republican leader. It's healthy and it's natural. A man who is too embarrassed to cry or can't or refuses to show emotions has issues.

Anybody watch the Ed show yesterday. If you did you know what I mean. Progressives like to comment on tans, grammer slip ups, personel things, photos that aren't the most flattering, (yes they are real shutter bugs) just check out "Big Eddie", Keith Olbermann, Rachel Maddow, and any of the other progressives. I'm not a Rush fan, but if I see Keith Olbermann do the bouncy bouncy photo one more time when Limbaugh was much heavier I guess I'll lose another tv screen. I guess they don't have any current photos. And a little emotion is ok with me. I'm a tough old bird but I can get a little misty when I see someone suffering, especially a child. Even when I see a little puppy mistreated. But a "progressive",,,,not so much.
I am not going to make a personal attack against Mr. Boehner. There is enough out there already yet I cringe at politicians today. I am sorry for this feeling. I wish I could honestly say I vote because the candidates are worth it, but I can not. When I see our education slipping still, health care will never be accepted unless, housing, still poor in our country, then I know something still is amiss. When I see China wanted a special agreement for trade yet one can buy straight from there while there are no jobs here, and yet China refuses to discuss anything, we have problems. Sorry

A LOT of men and women have died so that we might enjoy the "American Dream". Have we become so "Liberated" that we can only make fun of those that are still passionate about keeping that dream alive if for know other reason, than to show respect to those heros that gave their life for us!!!!!Wake up and smell the coffee!!!

I have seen John Boehner several times on TV and have never seen him cry. It tells me that he has convictions and feelings that run deep for this country. I am a senior born in this country American, and want to leave this country in the best shape possible for my grandchildren and future generations. We way we are headed now, our future generations will have to live in a bankrupt 3rd world country , with a much lower standard of living than we have now.
I have not heard Barbara Walters in a while. I can't remember her saying anything that really impressed me. As for Nancy Pelosi, I would be shocked to see her express anything. She seems shallow too, with no convictions except to promote her political agenda.
I will be praying for Mr. Boehner AND our government as a whole. The ony way this country is going to survive is to turn back to the GOD that made this country great in the first place. I, like Mr Boenher want to cry when I see what our dept. of education has done to our children. I just hope and pray that MR. Boehner has enough support in congress to really make the positive changes that are sorely needed. TEARS or no TEARS. We are all human or should be. Even Jesus wept.

Boehner has no concern for the "general welfare".

He is using his crying as a ploy to keep his rich friends richer and keep the middle class paying for the former administrations
spending of 10 billion dollars a month for the war they created. Why didn't he
start shedding his tears and ask questions when the old president was borrowing from all the China, South Korea, Vietnam and shall I go on. It is a sad day when
the richest people in the United States can't seem to give a little bit more of themselves and pay the same taxes we pay as middle class. He said he was a janitor why does he not want to help other janitors who have maybe lost their jobs. He is the king of double talkers. When I help other people it makes me feel good, not that I want to be praised but I feel good inside when I'm helping out other Americans. I believe most of the rich people in our country worked very hard to make their money, and being blessed to be a middle class person and working hard for my money, why can't we all pay the same taxes. I have no where to hid my money it's all in black and white why can't rich people do the same!!!!!!!!! Like Mr.Boehner and his rich friends. He talked the talk to get elected and now he is forgetting the little vote that got him elected he is only remembering the rich who
help fund him.
