John Boehner: “The American people will not accept and the House cannot pass a bill that raises taxes on job creators.”

This bill is the greatest threat to freedom that I have seen in the 19 years I have been here in Washington.

Even though I didn`t really want to go the direction where the team`s gone, they were the ones who elected me to be the leader, and I had an obligation to go lead them.

For a bill that was supposed to be about jobs, jobs, jobs, has turned into a bill that`s all about spending, spending, and spending.

The modern Republican Party is filled with, as John Boehner put it, people who spend more time tearing things apart than actually building anything.
