Boehner Tells House GOP To “Behave Like Grown-Ups” If Health Care Passes

In case you still wondered if the House GOP was a bunch of big babies.

House Minority Leader John Boehner told his conference to ‘behave like grown-ups’ if the healthcare bill is passed by the House on Sunday.

The Ohio Republican made the warning at a quick closed-door meeting with fellow House GOP lawmakers at noon in the Capitol.

According to several lawmakers who attended the 15 minute meeting, Boehner said ‘we will behave like grown-ups,’ and not engage in taunting the vulnerable Democrats who support the controversial measure.

    Some of them like Henry McMaster in SC are going to run like babies to their lawyers and sue for states rights.

    Right, just cheer on teabaggers, who burst onto the floor to disrupt the vote—but other than that and not disowning fools that call reps racially-charged and homophobic names; other than that, act like grown-ups!

    Republicans are incapable of acting like grown-ups.

    Just look at the trolls here.

    I’m watching Cspan on the house vote. When are they going to start acting like adults?

    Republicans are people who do not have a period known as “maturity” separating “adolescence” and “senility.”

    Did Boehner say he wanted “comity” or “comedy”?

    He musta said “comity” ’cause we got all we can handle of the other.
