BONER handed out checks from Tobacco Lobby on House Floor!
Unfricken believable! or is it? This guy is not change for the better and we can't let the "liberal" press get away with painting him as such.

According to KOS Boner handed out checks from tobacco lobbies on the House floor prior to votes on legislation affecting the tobacco industry.

4. if Dems are smart they will make an ad
showing Delay and his troubles and then cut to "And who do they choose to replace Delay--Boner who handed out checks from the Tobacco industry on the House Floor just before an important vote near and dear to the hearts of the tobacco industry." (and show the film of him doing it!)

11. Totally evil. I just watched my dad die of lung cancer.
He was a heavy smoker for 25 years. He quit back in the 70s but the disease still got him. (I think 30% of lung cancer happens in former smokers.)

It's unforgivable what these bastards are doing.
