Reporter: Mr. Speaker, on gay marriage, Leader Pelosi and several other Democrats say you're on the wrong side of history on this issue. Do you think this is a civil rights issue?
Boehner: "I believe that marriage is the union of one man and one woman. And the president and the Democrats can talk about all this all they want. But the fact is, the American people are focused on our economy, and are asking the question, Where are the jobs?"
Reporter: So you don't think it's a civil rights issue at all?
[Boehner ignores follow-up, moves on to next question about the "War on Women." Then back to gay marriage.]
Reporter: Mr. Speaker, the president's announcement yesterday, his support for gay marriage, has a lot of conservatives trying to figure out how to weave it into the campaigns this year. How big of a role would you like to see that issue take in this election cycle?
Boehner: "The president can talk about it all he wants. I'm going to stay focused on what the American people want us to stay focused on, and that's jobs."
Reporter: Mr. Speaker, a couple of your colleagues have now passed at the committee level, a ban on gay weddings at military bases, and there are some restrictions now on the bill toward spending on DOMA [Defense of Marriage Act.] Are there steps you want to take?
Boehner: "Well there are a lot of members who have ideas about what's important to them, and you see those items advanced here every day. The American people are concerned about our economy. They're concerned about jobs. That's why, as you've seen us focused over the last year and a half on jobs and cutting spending, because our debt and deficit are like a wet blanket hanging over our economy. So we're going to continue to stay focused on what the American people want us to stay focused on.
Reporter: Mr. Speaker, a top Romney adviser said they plan to make gay marriage a major campaign issue. ... Do you agree with that?
Boehner: "I'm gonna stay focused on jobs. Thanks."
Boehner hands out 'tobacco checks' on floor of House
In late June of 1995 then-GOP Conference Chairman John Boehner handed out "about a half-dozen" checks from the political action committee of tobacco company Brown & Williamson Corp. to fellow Republicans on the floor of the House.
Boehner's chief of staff Barry Jackson stated, "We were trying to help guys who needed to get their June 30th numbers up, their cash-on-hand numbers up. All leadership does this. We have to raise money for people and help them raise money."
He's just an uncomplicated guy. Hardly rock star material. And that's good. And he's smart, smarter than others in the GOP jumping all over the homo issue.
He lacks balls. He does not and cannot do his job. He is controlled by bags who are controlled by Kochs, Norquist, Rove. And, his nemisis, Ryan.
He's a loser and its all about the money.
Except on the golf course or the corner bar.
Boehner knows that fag marriage is way, way down the list of priorities of the typical voter right now.
He is winning.
The juvenile and shop-worn responses of the Leftists here tell me my admiration for Boehner is well-placed.

I like boehner even his orange skin. Lol.
Has Obama taxed the sun yet?
John Boehner needs to keep attacking Obama for never governing when we need him.
Still clipping qoutes I see.John Boehner needs to keep attacking Obama for never governing when we need him.
He does, which is why the press rarely covers him anymore - unless they think they have a 'gotcha' moment like today.
Perdictable, but FAIL.
