YouTube - RINO Alert: John Boehner Voted for the TARP Bailout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4ja9q386ek)

Some of his votes are hard to understand . He does not take any money into his district . Why would he vote for someone else to ?

Bailout Boner.

Because the fat cats who donate money to his campaigns and wine and dine him in DC tell him to. Why would he care what district they're in? The whole anti-earmark thing is just for show.

I heard Rachel Maddow saying he cried begging his colleagues to vote for the bailout. (It didn't pass the first time, remember?)

He was one of the main trumpeters, right next to McCain.

I never understand how John Boehner got into such a great position of power as he did; his district is incredibly rural and extremely farm-based.

He says a few good things, but on the whole, he's a piece of crap.

There's a documentary out there called "The Big Buy: Tom Delay's Stolen Congress". It's pretty good and focuses on Delay's antics during his time as speaker of the House. At the very end, when Delay resigns, the narrator cautions that Delay's protege is ready to take over Delay's legacy. The camera cuts to, yep, John Boehner.
