Speaker John Boehner lost his temper this afternoon as When Congressional Democrats resurrected their “war on women” talking points against Republicans.
“People want to politicize this because it’s an election year, but my god, do we have to fight about everything?” Boehner said, slamming the podium in front of him.

Boehner was responding to Rep. Lois Capps D – Calif. who criticized the House bill that would freeze student loans by pulling money out of the HHS Prevention and Public Health fund.
Capps attacked Republicans for “attacking and zeroing out programs that keep women healthy,” which prompted applause from her Democratic colleagues.
That angered Boehner, who delivered a fiery speech to his congressional colleagues.
“Now we are going to have a fight over women’s health.” Boehner said in disbelief, “Give me a break! This is the latest plank in the so-called war on women. Entirely created, entirely created by my colleagues across the aisle for political gain.”
