Who’s gonna be punished? Who’s the enemy?

The president had this to say to Hispanic voters:

“If Latinos sit out the election instead of saying, ‘We’re gonna punish our enemies, and we’re gonna reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us’ — if they don’t see that kind of upsurge in voting in this election — then I think it’s going to be harder. And that’s why I think it’s so important that people focus on voting on November 2nd.”

House Republican Leader John Boehner responded:

In remarks prepared for delivery at an election-eve rally in Cincinnati, Boehner seized on the “enemies” passage: “Ladies and gentlemen, we have a president in the White House who referred to Americans who disagree with him as ‘our enemies.’ … Mr. President, there’s a word for people who have the audacity to speak up in defense of freedom, the Constitution, and the values of limited government that made our country great. We don’t call them ‘enemies.’ We call them ‘patriots.'”

Hell, I don’t know who’s right.  Let’s let the ignorant, angry and unwashed voters decide the issue.  I’m guessing the patriots will defeat the enemy, but what do I know?

  1. Republican John Boehner: “it is NOT time to celebrate”…it is time to mourn. We proved today that we are like a toddler throwing a tantrum.
