The Senator “who never says no.”

The Senator “who never says no.”

How Jack Abramoff associate Todd Boulanger described Sen. Thad Cochran (R-MS) in an email obtained by TPM Muckraker. Boulanger urged others at Abramoff’s lobbying firm, Greenberg Traurig, to donate even more money “for the member who keeps the lights turned on here at Greenberg.”

    Joe Liberman never says NO to Israel, so the Senate is filled with disgusting whores > shame on all of them!

    #1 – Tobey Tall,
    Government is financed by the people in the United States. The problem is the corporate middlemen who get a thousand fold ROI.
