DescriptionHouse Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) on Friday resurrected his notorious saying, “Hell, no, you don’t!” in arguing for a GOP majority in the lower chamber.

The top-ranking Republican gave a 20-minute speech at a small manufacturing business in Ohio in which he attacked the administration and Democratic-led Congress for a poor record on job creation, the economy and spending.

The biggest applause line came when Boehner noted the GOP plan to “repeal and replace” what critics call “ObamaCare,” the president’s signature healthcare plan, signed into law earlier this year.

Boehner told audience members that their government “hasn’t been listening,” “is disrespecting you” and “is out of control.”

“Do you have to accept it?” he shouted.

“No!” cried the audience, where members waved signs reading “Give 'em Hell, John” and "John 4 Jobs."
