Wall Street workers lift Boehner campaign
July 26, 2011


WASHINGTON - Since January, House Speaker John Boehner has raised $6.6 million for his campaign committee, six times more than the Ohio Republican received during the same period two years ago when he was the chamber’s minority leader.

Three of the five biggest sources of Boehner’s campaign cash this year are employees of three Wall Street investment houses, a shift from the 2010 election cycle, when such contributors were not ranked among his top 10 donors.

Employees at the New York hedge fund Paulson & Co. contributed $61,050 to Boehner’s campaign account, more than any other company. Moore Capital Management of New York employees gave $53,000, while those at Cantor Fitzgerald donated $45,000.

6. I believe you are right on! Look at what they did to the housing market! They have no shame!

Makes me ill:puke:

7. I've been suspecting that their fat cat backers are shorting the debt

and stand to make a fortune if we default. It's a two-fer for Boner. He'll make Obama look bad and have his campaign coffers overflow.

8. K&R

they have plenty of reasons why they want a default, from thinking it will get a new president, to potentially making money off it, to wanting gov't to be slashed down a fraction of what it is now. They figure this is their best chance to do all of that, hopefully though, the amount of push-back from the voters makes them scared this week!

9. That's what Obama was pushing for last night - I think he needs to listen to his base more too! n/t
