House Minority Leader John Boehner's leadership PAC spent over $10,000 on golf fees at a fancy Ritz-Carlton hotel in Florida last month, according to the Freedom Project's newly filed fundraising report....
Wow. Must be nice. Is it legal? It is no wonder that Boehner has little understanding for working people and the unemployed. He must not meet regular working people or unemployed individuals while he hangs out on his fancy, schmancy golf courses and private clubs. I wonder how the people of his district feel about his lack of interest in their problems and concerns. Because he spends so much time out of his district getting speaking fees and playing golf, he seems uninterested in the concerns of his constituents. Is this his way of saying he just doesn't care?
Irish Echo:
A little over six months after the Democratic Party's clean sweep of the November elections, the Irish American Democrats lobby group last week held a coming in party for some of its new favorite members of Congress at the Phoenix Park Hotel on Capitol Hill.
The group's political action committee, headed by Stella O'Leary, reckons it had a little something to do with that sweep and at the get together introduced some of the November winners who had received its backing.
...freshmen House members Mary Jo Kilroy from Ohio, Mike McMahon from New York, Gerry Connolly from Virginia, Mike Quigley of Illinois and Scott Murphy of New York, both just elected in special elections in New York, joined together in offering praise of O'Leary and Irish American Democrat supporters....
As noted in the article, the group once was made up of more Republicans than Democrats. Now things have changed dramatically.
