Not even my own money! All I have to do is promise that my donors will get treated well and their investment in me will pay off.

We do have the best government special interests can buy, and it's only going to get better. Boehner is showing us how it is done.

He put our needs above his needs or wants.

He is a shining example of what politicians can accomplish.

He represents American exceptionalism and all that is right in the U.S.
