After Whispers received nearly 30 Democratic E-mail press releases decrying House Minority Leader John Boehner's attack on the president's economic team this week, it was clear that the White House is trying to elevate the Republican's profile to where the outspoken Newt Gingrich's was in 1994. But GOP-ers say making Boehner this year's election bogeyman won't work.

"The problem is: Boehner ain't Newt," says centrist Ripon Forum editor Lou Zickar. "We want to thank Democrats," adds a Boehner spokesman, for drawing "even more attention to the substance of Boehner's speech and the GOP solutions he outlined."

The man's name is pronounced BAY-NER.. not BONER. How juvenile. I suppose you think the word "poignant" is funny as well and means with child.

there is no comparison here between John Boener and Newth gingrich. Same thing with Nancy Pelosi. she is the ultimate symbol of what is wrong with Washinton. she promised to " clean the swamp" but what do we see among these crokked Democrat congress members? - start with Charlie Rangel -her chairman of ways and means . still continue to be incongress and Nancy lacks the guts to force him to step down. Look at Maxine Water , making sure to protect her family financial . even Nancy herself she make sure her tuna business is save from excessive taxation. The corruption and cronyism is too many to sight that you can make a book of it .

the liberal media had sucessfully portray Newt Gingrich as the monster because he complained that he did not get seated properly in Airforce one but this monster Nancy Pelosi the current speaker of the House and A Democrat from San Francisco did not just complained but requested to replace her jet into a BIGGER ONE so she and her family can fly in comfort with less refueling.

She is the symbol of arrogance greed and corruption and she needs to go.

The liberal media of these country has dumb down America by their bias reporting and misinformation. they are part of the problem and the reason why we have a clueless and incompetent president. We need real change and this start with congress . A vote for any Democrat congressman is a vote for retaining this tyrannical speaker of the house .

IT IS ALSO AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH FOR THE LIBERAL MEDIA THAT THEY DID NOT MENTION THAT IT WAS UNDER NEWTH GINGRICH LEADERSHIP AND A REPUBLICAN MAJORITY SENATE WHERE WE HAVE A ROBUST ECONOMY.

Why is Mr. Boehner making such problems for the President? I heard yesterday that the Repubs will take away the tax cut for the middle class and give to the rich and mega rich people. Is he crazy? Are they going to create jobs?
