FORE!! Boehner’s Trying to Get Out of Bunker & Back to the Beltway
After a long, hard week on the elite country club golf courses back home, we wanted to welcome Minority Leader John Boehner back to town to join the small band of his Grand Oil Party colleagues who stayed in Washington to put in some extra hours on behalf of Big Oil.
"Minority Leader Boehner's golf outings this week expose the Grand Oil Party's continued hypocrisy on gas prices," said Jennifer Crider, DCCC Communications Director. "Republicans are protecting $14 billion worth of tax breaks and subsidies for Big Oil companies earning billions of dollars in profits while John Boehner is playing golf with lobbyists at elite country clubs. Under Republicans' so-called energy plan hardworking Americans can barely afford to fill the gas tank of a golf cart, forget the tank of the family minivan.
According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Minority Leader Boehner has taken $185,000 from Big Oil.
There simply aren't enough mulligans in Washington for the Grand Oil Party to get out of their Big Oil bunker.

Is anyone surprised rethuglican politicians are getting fat while the rest of the nation is having our very lives drained gallon, by gallon. Never in the history of the USA have the people been so under represented by those we have elected to make our lives more livable. We have one political party that cares NOTHING for everyday Americans, and we have the other political party that barely cares about the everyday American, frankly of the two choices of which we are stuck, I back the Democratic Party anytime over the Greedy Old Party. At least with the Democrats we have a chance to make the nation a better place for ALL Americans, not just the very rich. I would rather take that chance over the sure thing of the rethuglican party. With that group we know they will never lift a finger on behalf of anyone except those who inhabit the top 1% of America’s elite.
