Who's buying John Boehner this week?

Question

Is he taking yet another ride on someone's private corporate jet--after already having taken 45 the past several years?  

Is he going to golf at some posh golf resort on a lobbyist's tab or go to a posh beach resort this coming weekend all expenses paid?

Or, is he receiving campaign contributions this week from companies whose businesses are directly affected by the committees he chairs or sits on?

Or, is it that he is going to hand out tobacco lobbyist checks to his fellow Republicans on the floor of the House just before a vote on legislation affecting the tobacco industry again?

"...The top donor to Boehner's leadership PAC in 2003-2004 was SLM Corp., the Reston, Virginia-based student-loan company better known as Sallie Mae. SLM contributed $65,170 to Boehner's Freedom Project, more than twice as much as the second-biggest donor, New York-based Goldman Sachs Group Inc. The money came as the House Education and Workforce Committee, which Boehner chairs, prepared to write new legislation governing student loans.

In 1995, Boehner handed out campaign checks from the tobacco industry to members on the House floor at a time when lawmakers were considering eliminating a tobacco subsidy.

Representative Chris Shays, a Connecticut Republican, said he believes that Boehner is even closer to lobbyists than Blunt. ``The problem John faces is that he's so close to K Street; that's the challenge he's got,'' said Shays, who's backing Blunt...."

Who bought John Boehner this week?  Do you know?

Deb M · Accepted Answer

Boehner is for sale to any corporation that the Dems try to reign in from the good ole boy corporate welfare administration of Bush.  He might as well hang a sign around his fake orange neck that says..."4-sale vote to promote your company/corporation to swindle the American people."  I believe the next issue is that of the taxes for the wealthiest 2 percent.  Oh he says he will vote for the Middle Class tax cuts...but I don't think the pay for that vote will be big enough.  He'll renege on that!

It really makes you wonder why people vote for anyone as fake as Boehner?  Are people really that easily duped...or is it that the republicans are doing a good job of controlling people by keeping them poor, scared, uneducated and docile to bend to their twisted way of thinking?

It's very simple. He prostitutes himself to the highest bidder. Always has, does now and always will, until we no longer have to look at his orange face. But in reality, don't all Republican congressman do the same thing, except minus the orange?

you would possibly want to be severe, Pelosi solutions questions for all time, i do not care in case you stay interior the Whitehouse. FOX would not invite Democrats because they are going to disclose their BS. Obama become set up on the city corridor on CNBC, he dealt with it nicely. CNBC sucks. particularly with the only weasel who suggested he represented the Tea party. What a schmuck.

Hmmm....let's see....it can't be BP. They already spent $72 million buying Obama during the campaign; his highest contributor. Maybe that's why he did so little about the Gulf oil spill.

It wouldn't be those who pay for Pelosi to shuttle her family around the world since that would be the taxpayer since she used military planes.

Perhaps Barney Frank is going to get him a FannyMae loan just as soon as Dodd is able to find his mortgage papers that shows the sweetheart deal he got from Country Wide.
