Is there any wonder why John Boehner and the Republicans are unwilling to reform ethics?
"In the wake of several recent lobbyist-related bribery scandals in Congress, the liberal group Public Citizen has listed the top congressional recipients of lobbying dollars - and the states that rake in the most.
High on that list? New House Majority Leader John Boehner, R-West Chester. He ranked 6th out of 435 House members for accepting nearly $735,000 from lobbying sources since 1998. Rep. Steve Chabot, R-Westwood, ranked No. 201 for accepting about $75,000."
And
"The top 10 travelers identified in the study are all members of the House and include Majority Leader John Boehner, R-Ohio. Spokesman Kevin Madden said Boehner met all congressional requirements for his travel, including prompt and public disclosure."
John Boehner and company are simply unwilling to bite the hands that feeds them.
They should be ashamed. They are the ones who have created this culture of corruption; the least they can do is to fix it!
Reform ethics now!
