According to the nonpartisan Center for Responsive Politics, he received $32,500 in campaign contributions from Abramoff and the lobbyist's clients — more than DeLay did.

And in the mid-1990s, Boehner was criticized by public interest groups for passing out campaign contributions from tobacco companies to lawmakers on the House floor.

6. Not possible to find a Repub

That's not corrupt!

What sickens me most is they profess to be conservative, Christian, etc., yet the whole lot of them are the worst offenders. Yet everyone seems to make exceptions for them.

Would appreciate the note that you got it from another DU'er and source link.

9. Stole? You know, this is the first time I neglected to credit a DU'er for

something like this... but using the word "stole" strikes me as curious.

But then this is pure gold and a heck of a lot more damaging to the GOP then arguing over freaking t-shirts.

Edit to include the word "Sorry".
