    “that hypocrite smokes two packs a day.” and that gentleman, ought to be the theme song of how awesome we are, and how awesome they are not. If you don’t get my allusion and who I am ridiculing then I cannot help you. This kind of stuff just goes along with what Rush said after we lost, “we’re a nation of children”, and now mom and dad come along to say now now, can’t do that, can’t do that either. It’s like dems want to be ordered around, told what to do and can’t figure out why we (the cool kids) will fight to be free to live our lives however we want to. Almost makes me want to start smoking again and then lie about to my doctor. A thrilling prospect of rebellion against our socialism. Oh and women smoking, there was this German girl I once fooled around with, and the cigs had turned the surface of her tongue into something like 3M 40 grit. Seriously uncool.

    FYI…Boehner also still chain smokes..and he smokes in his House office. All federal building are supposed to be smoke free environments.Steven Moore reported that in an interview last month he did with Boehner at his office…. that “the Speaker chained smoked endlessly..

    Another reason why they should vote him out…

    Boehner smokes a lot therefore we should vote him out? I don’t see the logic.

    Agree auh20….I vote out Reid because he hunches horribly (must be a condition that will cost us), plus he wears glasses. And the prez for chewing gum since we don’t know if it’s sugarless. And dare I say obese people have as many reasons, if not more, for higher the rates. Oh yeah, and stuntmen/women, surfers, car racers, lobster catchers. Everyone worth a bean takes chances in life and to penalize one group is discrimination and well racist….take that Lefties!
