Thread: House minority leader doesn't know Constitution from Declaration of
Independence!
Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by richwig
John Boehner stands on the steps of the Capitol, ranting about public health option, waves his pocket copy of the Constitution, and then quotes from it -- only he's quoting the Declaration of Independence!
Not an innocent mistake during floor debate, either; prepared remarks for a staged rally!

Please don't preach limited government after you voted for an administration that instituted more spying on US citizen within US borders and gave birth to Homeland Security. Its just hypocritical.
