Our leaders, all parties are shit, I think. Shit. And sadly, nothing will change becuase no one gives a damn. If there is a problem, the other party uses it to blame and get votes, not offer solutions... and then they just switch places. It is like the two parties are just made up of hole diggers and hole fillers who never leave the same plot of land, yet blame each toehr for the hole.

I'm not saying that Boehner is any worse (than for example good ole Jefferson), actually he is probably a bit better on the morality scale, it's just that it was so blatent...

The thing about passing around $$ on the floor of the House is just so dirty - the Foley comment was the bonus. Seriously, how can you defend going to the floor during a vote with $$ from an interested party and offerring a check in return for a vote. Hmmm, what does that sound like? If it was a Dem doing the same thing, I would call him or her out as well. SW – I just don’t like the guy.

(Which I believed he received some sort of reprimand for?) And, the same Boehner who knew about, but didn't see any issues with fomer Rep Mark Foley's involvement with young male pages...? Not exactly a principled individual. This is the same Boehner who was caught distributing bribes from the tobacco industry on the floor of the House during a tobacco vote, right?

I have to admit, my initial assessment last time I saw him was off, and you are right. Kudos to him for coming out a second time to support my favorite representative to Congress--Thelma Drake.

I linked to this post for those in Ohio. Thanks for the audio! Boehner is a good guy, isn't he? Very direct and frank. I have been a fan since I first met him in college. His District inlcudes Miami University. In one weeks time I was able to meet him and John Kasich for the first time. Those two are a pair! Good stuff, Jim. I linked to this post for those in Ohio.
