John Boehner's Boys-Only Lobbyist Golfing Buddies | Mother Jones
So many objections, so little time. For instance, with 2.5 years in the presidency, people were having cows about the president having been golfing I think it was 77 times. Boehner? He's been 100, this year alone.
Golf and politics. Not just politics - lobbyists. Powerful lobbyists, from the richest corporations in the land.
But I'm sure it's all pleasure, no business. Right?
i'm sure democrats neither golf nor employ lobbyists
oh, wait...
Oh, I had no idea you'd have a matching link giving specific information (just like mine) showing that Nancy Pelosi (Boehner's equal-but-opposite) was doing something comparable. You go on ahead, I'll wait right here for the specifics - names, places, etc.

Wow...getting bitch-slapped is a bitch
Nancy Pelosi has raised almost twice as much money from lobbyists this election as Boehner has?
At least 18 House Democrats have raised more lobbyist cash this election than Boehner has.
Chuck Schumer and Harry Reid have pocketed more lobbyist cash in the past 18 months than Boehner has raised in the past 6 elections, combined?

So where is boop now with outrage over the president seeing the same lobbying types that the congressman did? Or is it JUST the republicans???
Anyone figure out that it really is not the lobbyists that are the problem here anyway? It is not the fact that there are people looking out for their interests that is the problem; it is the fact that politicians are able to give them kickbacks and bonuses as well as the corrupt cash flowing into the politician coffers. If the right was the only side with the issue, we would not have ended up with the disastrous stimulus, finical reform bill, auto buyouts and the healthcare package - all gifts from the left to big corporate/union special interests.
Or maybe you could quit playing naïve and pretending that the only people who play footsie with big-money lobbyists carry that (R) by their names.Red bolded would be true if I honestly thought no such links existed. Then I'd slink off to my corner, muttering "Cursies, follied again."
Too bad it took you waking up and starting your day to get the necessary information. Might you teach Del to Google?

I speak fluent typonese - but what is this 'finical' you type of?
