If you read this weekends New York Times hit job on would-be Speaker John Boehner and his lobbyist friends, you might think, as the reporter clearly thinks, that John Boehner is cozier with lobbyists than most powerful politicians are.
But did you know:
- 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?
Heres what they mean: from 1999 until today, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, Boehner has raised $299,490 from lobbyists.
For comparison, Harry Reid, Blanche Lincoln, and Chuck Schumer have each raised more money from lobbyists in this cycle alone.
This election cycle, Boehner is not even in the top 20 recipients of lobbyist cash. Hes raised less than $40,000 from lobbyists this cycle compared to Nancy Pelosis $71,000 from lobbyists

Now this is NO SURPRISE to me. If liberals are ANYTHING, they are HYPOCRITES. They always condemn in others what they refuse to see in themselves.
This coordinated attack on Boehner is just that--coordinated. Obama Dems know the "it's all Bush's fault" hasn't worked, and November is getting closer. So, they are changing tactics to attack Republicans. But Obama's Saul Alinksy tactics tell him they need a central face to demonize. So they have picked Boehner to be this central face.
This is a pattern. First it was Rush Limbaugh who was to be the face of the Republican party and demonized. IT DIDN'T WORK!
Then they tried Bush. IT DIDNT WORK!
Now, in their desperation, they are trying Boehner and their "class envy, eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil corporation" rhetoric.
But, this hasn't been working with people. They realize those eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil corporations are where their jobs come from, NOT their "savior" Obama.. Obama promised jobs, but look where we are now!
This is pure desperation on their part people, but don't expect them to learn the lesson that Saul Alinsky's demonizing doesn't work. They will simply double down.
For liberals to learn from their mistakes would mean to stop being liberals.
