House Minority Leader John Boehner told his conference to “behave like grown-ups” if the healthcare bill is passed by the House on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The Ohio Republican made the warning at a quick closed-door meeting with fellow House GOP lawmakers at noon in the Capitol.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

This didn’t stop them from, earlier today, putting mug shots<\/a> of a bunch of Democrats who voted for the Clinton budget in 1993 and lost their seats.<\/p>\n

I’m also wondering if the “behave like grownups” statements should actually be delivered to the base<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Looks like black and gay lawmakers aren\u2019t the only ones being pelted with vicious slurs by folks who oppose the health reform proposal. Add a Hispanic lawmaker to the list. Trifecta!<\/p>\n

Rep Ciro Rodriguez of Texas has confided to colleagues that he was hammered by ethnic slurs by people opposed to reform passing, one of those colleagues tells me […]<\/p>\n

Rodriguez\u2019s spokesperson, Rebeca Chapa, gets in touch to say that he was slammed as a \u201cwetback\u201d by an anti-reform protestor at a town meeting this week.<\/p>\n

And another opponent called Rodriguez\u2019 home and told the family member who answered to \u201cgo back to Mexico.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What an ugly, ugly movement.<\/p>\n
