BOEHNER...THE PROBLEM NOT THE SOLUTION
Recently, Republicans elected their new majority leader, John Boehner of Ohio. Boehner claims he is an honest man who values integrity and will not line his pockets with money. Well, Boehner has a lot of explaining to do.
Of the 535 members of Congress, Boehner is 10th in receiving privately funded trips. Boehner visited Green Briar Resort over eight times, Boca Raton six times, Scottsdale, AZ four times, Edinburg, Scotland to play golf twice, Rome, Venice, Brussels, Paris, Barcelona, etc. etc. Boehner is firmly against ending privately funded trips. He stated recently, "House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s proposal to end all privately funded trips would be counterproductive." Also, Boehner recently stated to The Washington Post, that "yes, I'm cozy with lobbyists!"
Although Boehner claimed recently on MEET THE PRESS that, "I’m telling you, I never met the man (Abramoff)," his own records list at least 17 contacts between Abramoff's lobbying team and Boehner's staff and one private session with Beohner himself. Why did Boehner lie on national television about his contacts with Abramoff? By the way, Boehner's Freedon Project PAC received $27,500 from Abramoff- represented Indian tribes, which Boehner refuses to return!
Boehner, a man of lies and deception, is ill suited to stem the tide of corruption that is engulfing the Republicans. He is part of the problem and not the solution! America needs a new, fresh, honest leader and Ohio must help by ousting the dishonest Boehner!
